What guests are saying
What a fabulous home from home created by Heidi and Trish.
From the day before we arrived, when I emailed about parking, they were helpful and quick to communicate. The house is exactly what we needed for a city stay, providing very comfortable beds, lovely furnishings and of course the hot tub that my 3 boys loved after a day walking! There was a lovely little gift of food and a bottle when we arrived and the cupboard provided essentials you may need for cooking and hot drinks! There is a good selection of games for families to play and a cosy little sitting area with blankets galore to use if needed.....though the house was wonderfully warm! There are quite a few steps for those who may struggle, but to us it made the cottage more homely, cosy and interesting. Literally across the road from one of the stepped entrances to the city walls and a little high street 2 minutes walk in the pther direction with an array of shops, bars and restaurants. Perfect location!! Out little 3 generational family of grandparent, parents and 3 children felt at home, comfortable, warm and did not want to leave! Thank you for such a lovely city break!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback Helen. We are so pleased you and all your family enjoyed your stay and Baggergate provided you with a cosy and comfortable stay
The house was very well situated for visiting York centre, in an attractive local area with local shops, pubs and restaurants and a good park and play area nearby.
The house was quirky and cozy, even with the many stairs. The only negative experience, which somehow spoiled our visit, was when we were leaving the property. We were taking the last few items out of the house maybe 2 - 3 minutes after 10 am (check out time). Our cases were already outside on the path. We were met by one of the owners of the house who was clearly annoyed that we were still on the property after 10 am. In fact we felt very much in the way and we were not asked at all about our stay, which we felt was inappropriate considering that we were paying costumers. No even "a safe journey" was uttered as we left. Our very short delay in leaving the property was perhaps due to the fact that we were travelling with two small children!
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the house, found it cosy, and appreciated its location for exploring York. We're sorry that your departure left you with a negative impression. We certainly didn't intend to make you feel rushed or unwelcome. Due to the parking restrictions outside the property, we have to unload our car quickly, collect the rubbish and laundry, and then move the vehicle to a designated parking area before returning to begin the changeover. As it was also a same-day turnaround, there is a limited amount of time to prepare the house for our next guests, which can be challenging when working alone. I did have a conversation with your wife during your departure, and she told me that you had both had a lovely stay and had found the house cosy. As we'd already discussed your experience, I didn't think to ask again, but I can understand how this may have come across differently, and if my manner seemed abrupt, I sincerely apologise. It was certainly not my intention. Thank you again for your feedback. We genuinely appreciate it and will take your comments on board to ensure future departures feel more relaxed for our guests.
A lovely and well-provisioned house - down to useful torches in the side tables!
We had been warned about the many steps in the house, which did turn out to be a slight issue. They are not just between the rooms, but within the rooms (particularly the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room) but that was very clear on the listing - I just mention it to bring it to others attention. The location was absolutely perfect - quiet enough to have our windows open on warm nights, but only a minute from the wonderful Bishy Road and 10 minutes from the city centre. A great holiday overall!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review and we are pleased to hear you had a great stay! I hope you enjoyed your birthday Ishbel!
Fantastic property!
We loved our stay here so much. Great communication from the owner. We would recommend to anyone visiting York! Thank you x
We had a wonderful stay at Baggergate House.
Best equipped property out of many we've rented. All the little extras -toiletries, torches, kitchen staples, dressing gowns, cleaning products could go on and on. Loved the hot tub. Beds all comfy and quiet. Just a short walk to the very centre of York. Not one for those who don't like steps, we found they added character. Whoever furnished and decorated the house has done a great job. We managed the parking challenge well. One car nearby using the Resident's permit, the other using Justpark. OK you need to plan that side well but what city is easy nowadays. Thanks to Heidi for your advice - you aim to please and certainly do.
Thank you for the lovely review and you and your party are welcome back to Baggergate House any time
Absolutely loved this location.
The attention to detail from the owners was amazing. Spotlessly clean and such a cosy ambience. We were a group of 6 ladies celebrating 3 birthdays. Would highly recommended and hope to return at some point. Trish and Heidi thank you both.
Lovely townhouse situated within easy reach of the train station and has quick access to the City Wall.
With the award winning Bishy Road round the corner with its high street shops and restaurants it is in an ideal location. Delightfullly quirky layout of the house sets it aside from the basic layout styles and with a hot tub available, is ideal for a laidback lifestyle. Highly recommended with lovely owners in Heidi and Trish.
Fantastic house, over looking york walls and close to all venues.
Extremely clean with lots of extras, Heidi has been very helpful throughout our booking. I would highly recommend this holiday home. Hope to return very soon
Thank you for your lovely feedback Jayne and we hope to see you for another visit soon
Wow this property is amazing.
Has everything you need. Beds are so comfortable, which can be unusual with rentals. We loved every moment about being here. Walking into the city and not having to drive for the whole weekend. The hot tub is clean and well maintained. The own is so lovely and caring too. What a nice little welcome basket too. We will definitely use again if we visit York.
Thank you for your lovely review you will be welcome back anytime Amanda
Surprisingly quiet house despite the central position.
No use for anyone with mobility issues. Kids would love all the nooks and crannies. Well equipped with lots of extra touches. Owners have thought of everything.
This is a lovely property and Heidi is equally lovely, she is very kind and responsive.
Its proximity to the city centre is great as well as being in a little neighbourhood with lovely shops and restaurants. It’s spotless, and comfortable. Thank you for a great stay
Brilliant property.
We stopped here at the the end of June. Property is very spacious and very well equipped. Hot tub is great. Location is superb. Welcome hamper was a very nice touch. Thanks for ensuring we had the best holiday experience possible. Very much recommend this place to family's or friends looking for a place in york to stay, walking distance from everything.
We had a lovely stay at Baggergate house.
It was such a great location for easy walking access to the centre of York. Lovely, clean and comfortable. Heidi was really friendly and helpful with all questions answered very promptly. The hot tub was a real hit with the kids! Would highly recommend as a York citi break holiday home. Only negative we can think of is the unloading and loading of luggage as busy road but all the good far outweighs this inconvenience.
Thank you for the lovely feedback Georgina so pleased you had a wonderful stay and you enjoyed everything the house had to offer.
Just returned from a two night stay in Baggergate House.
We loved the house and found it really comfortable and quirky. The top floor room with the two low divans was absolutely fine. Although the beds are low, they are full length and extremely comfortable. The bathroom is great and we just took turns for the shower … after all, we knew there was only one when we booked and there are plenty of loos! The hot tub was good fun and very relaxing after a day walking round York. The owners were very accommodating and helpful regarding storing our luggage both on arrival and departure. All in all we had a lovely stay thank you. Paula
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Hopefully we will see you again soon at Baggergate House
It’s a beautiful property, a couple of minutes walk from local shops and just 4 minutes walk from the city centre.
Would highly recommend it.
We had a really lively stay at Baggergate House.
The house is comfortable and well equipped, close to the city centre, local shops and the station. There was a basket of goodies on arrival, including a bottle of Prosecco and the hot tub was very welcome after a long day exploring York. I can highly recommend a stay here - you will not be disappointed.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Baggergate House, which is conveniently located to easily get to the centre of the city.
Nearby there’s even a bus stop for the hop on/hop off sightseeing bus. Just around the corner is a charming and very useful parade of local shops (butcher, greengrocer) and eateries, and also includes a Barclays ATM, a small Sainsburys, and a wine bar and pub. Inside the house, the attractive facilities are modern and comfortable, and the place was immaculate and surprisingly quiet, given that it fronts on a busy street. One caveat: The third bedroom, with its very low, sloped ceiling and short divan beds, is only suitable for children or a small adult. Fortunately, one of us is just five feet tall, so we managed.
Perfect location for a visit to York and surrounding area.
The house had everything you would need for a short break or longer stay. Hot tub was an added bonus.
Lovely property, great location, really clean.
We really loved the house,the hot tub was great. We did feel that there should be another shower in a house to accommodate six people.
Fabulous all round .
Loved the house , just a nice size for 6 guests . Loved the welcome pack of Prosecco ! Great location too ! Thank you
Thank you for your lovely feedback Christine, we hope to see you and the rest of your guests again for any future visits to York
Loved this house, perfect home from home and a great location.
The owners have thought of everything. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Jackie, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and hopefully we will see you back at Baggergate next year!
A lovely house and well located.
The hot tub was super. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here.
Had a lovely week here.
We booked for location and didn't think the hot tub would be used, but it turned out to be a hit with all 3 generations and used almost every day! Facilities were great, house lovely and every requirement thought of. We enjoyed playing the board games at night too! Will certainly book again. :-)
Thank you for your lovely review Donna! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we would more than welcome you back to Baggergate anytime!
Our second time at this lovely property and we'll be back for a third if we can.
Beautifully clean and spacious and has a real "home" feel to it; it was always lovely to come home to the house at the end of a day. The location is amazing: city walls right outside, ten minute walk from the train station, ten minute walk from Clifford's Tower and Coppergate and on a main bus route too. Fantastic.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Stephen, this makes us so happy to learn that guests have enjoyed their stay and want to keep coming back! Hopefully we will see you for another trip some time soon!
A jewel near the city centre.
We had the delight in staying here for a week and couldn't have asked for more. The house is deceptively spacious and has a lovely quirky layout. The welcome goodies were a lovely touch and much needed after a long drive to get there. The decor was very tasteful and the towels, slippers and robes were the icing on the cake. The jacuzzi... wow... a lifesaver after walking around the city all day. We used in several times and it certainly takes the aches and pains away! The house is perfectly placed to explore York on foot or to drive to nearby towns. So much to do, so little time. Local amenities and eateries are excellent and its a very friendly neighbourhood. We'd recommend this property to anyone on a city break in York. It's perfect.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback Jonathan! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay so much and we hope to welcome you back to Baggergate House one day in the future! Glad you enjoyed the hot tub, I must say its one of my favourite things about the house too!
Your crockery is too big for the dishwasher so the big plates had to be washed by hand.
The glasses also too big for the washer. The double bed mattress was soft and uncomfortable. The duvet too hot in the summer months
The cottage was amazing.
The little extras where amazing too.we would recommend this place to everyone. Location brilliant ,Hot tub fantastic .cleanliness 10 out 10 information leaflets brilliant. Anyone renting this cottage would not be and could not be disappointed .Thank you for making our holiday such a lovely week .
Thank you so much for lovely review! We are so pleased to hear you loved Baggergate House as much as we do! Hopefully we will see you again for your next trip to York
Fantastic house close to centre of York.
Excellent choice of local bars, pubs and restaurants. We were welcomed with fizz and nibbles which were much appreciated. Hot tub a real bonus. Hosts were brilliant. Have booked again!
Thank you for the lovely feedback Alison and we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and can’t wait to have you and your school pals back with us at the end of the year!
Five star stay.
Brilliant location, amazing house and facilities. More than we could have imagined. Will be back and would recommend!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and can’t wait to welcome you back!
Lovely property in a great location appreciated the Christmas decorations which made it feel very festive Only criticism quite a few light bulbs out and main light in living room not working which made reading at night difficult
Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay and hope you had a lovely Christmas. We are sorry to hear about the issue with the light bulbs, it was not something we were aware of before your stay so thank you for highlighting this. There are spare bulbs in the cupboard in the utility room but we will make sure that we check all lights during each changeover in future to prevent this issue arising again. Many thanks Heidi.
Everything had been thought of!
Hairdryers in each room. Hairbands for the hot tub. Hot tub ready to use on arrival. Christmas decorations! An amazing and generous welcome hamper and a bottle of fizz! All wonderful. Just one thing missing: instructions on how to use the oven.
Thank you for the lovely feedback Ruth. We are glad you enjoyed all the little extras that we provide for our guests. Instructions for the oven is not something we had thought of so thank you for that. We will get them added to the visitor book straight away!
Absolutely lovely accommodation with every guest requirement anticipated and catered for - we couldn’t fault anything and had a fabulous weekend.
Beautiful house in a fantastic location - we will definitely return in future
Thank you for your lovely feedback Claire we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Baggergate House. We would love to welcome you all back some time in the future
We (3 female friends) booked Baggergate House for a 50th birthday celebration weekend.
The house is beautiful - very quirky with all the stairs, but extremely welcoming, comfortable and just lovely. We had everything we needed to make our stay special; and Heidi & Trish (our hosts) were so kind - they not only provided the basic necessities like milk and tea so we could have a quick cuppa before venturing back out again, they also left us an impressive welcome basket of goodies, with Prosecco! We had a fabulous time and the house went a long way to making it a special weekend. All 3 of us are now thinking about going back for family holidays!
Hi Susan Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and already thinking about returning to us. Glad you enjoyed your goodies and that the birthday celebrations went down a storm sounds like a perfect way to spend a weekend! Hopefully see you again soon. Baggergate House
Great location.
Clean and comfortable. Well equipped. Amazing hot tub.
Absolutely beautiful property.
Loads of extra special bits. Basics supplied for when you arrive, milk, snacks, sweets and even a bottle of bubbly. All linen and towels (separate ones for the hot tub) supplied with dressing gowns and slippers too. The property is just outside of the city walls in easy walking distance to the centre of town. Parking is available with a permit (supplied when asked for)in nearby streets (it felt very safe to leave the car). Would highly recommend this property.
Thank you for your lovely review we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Baggergate House and the little extras to help welcome you on your stay. We hope to see you all back again sometime
An absolutely gorgeous property in a superb location.
Very friendly communication with the owner who was always very helpful. We had an amazing stay and the house was a pleasure to return to every day... we were very sad to leave.
Thank you for your lovely review Stephen. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Baggergate House and thank you for rebooking for next year! Nothing makes us happier than seeing our guests want to re book! So we will see you next year for another fabulous stay!
We had a fabulous stay at Baggergate House.
It is really comfortable and very well located for all sightseeing and shopping etc. We looked forward to the hot tub at the end of each day! Would definitely recommend!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Baggergate House and we hope to see you all back again if you ever visit York again
Brilliant property and the host could not have been more responsive or helpful.
Would definitely rent this property again
Thank you for your lovely feedback Peter we will look forward to welcoming you back! Hope you caught your flight ok on the Friday
This property is lovely, little touches by the owners to make guests feel welcome.
5 minutes into the city. Absolutely recommend this property.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are pleased you had a great weekend and enjoyed your stay at Baggergate House. We hope to welcome you back if you ever fancy another trip to York
Beautiful house and close to the centre of York.
Wonderfully clean and owners provide towels for the hot tub, robes and slippers for each guest. Arrival snacks plus milk and Prosecco were a lovely touch. Also has everything you may need such as tea/coffee, condiments, shampoo etc. The hot tub was wonderful and we were so lucky to have such great weather too. York is a fabulous place for a long weekend and highly recommend Baggergate house. Lots of steps in the property though so beware if you don’t have good mobility.
Thank you for your lovely comments Lisa and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay!
Baggergate house is absolutely fantastic.
Definitely one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in. The fixtures and fittings were very high quality and everything was thought of. It was literally like being at home in that everything was there. The owners clearly take a great pride in this lovely home and enjoy providing a great experience for their guests. The location of the property is outstanding- overlooking the City Walls, and a short walk into the city centre. Local shops -‘Bishy Road Shops’ are vibrant and varried. The proximity of the lovely Rowntree Park was also a bonus for us. The availability of a free parking permit was also a huge plus.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely feedback. We are so pleased you loved the house as much as we do. We hope to see you back at Baggergate House soon.
Thank you for the comfortable and clean setting.
Great location. We really enjoy our time there. Definitely would recommend to others.
Lovely.
Will be coming back. Perfect location for city centre.
Beautiful cottage well equipped and tasteful decor, loved the little touches of luxury with the cosy bathrobes and slippers … the hot tub was a bonus and the location is perfect … would definitely recommend 10 out of 10
A fantastic place to stay, situated in an ideal location to explore the delights of York.
The house is spacious and well appointed and nothing has been overlooked in making the house welcoming and inviting. The hot tub was an added bonus that we all enjoyed. We really loved our short stay at Baggergate House and would highly recommend it.
Beautiful house very stylish with lovely personal touches throughout everything provided and a lovely outdoor space with hot tub.
Excellent central position for the shops, walks, parks and theatres of York.we will definitely book again had a fantastic break.
An absolutely stunning property, so well thought out with the little extras throughout thr House.
Fantastic location, spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen, bathrobes & slippers a lovely touch. Would highly recommend & would visit again.
Brilliant accommodation!
Had a great stay and was excellent how close the house was to the City Centre.
Great central location, lovely comfortable property full of character and history with added bonus of the hot tub.
Parking was difficult and lots of steps throughout the house to be aware of but the owners had thought of everything to ensure we had a fantastic time and we would definitely like to stay here if visiting York again.
A lovely characterful house in a great location - we had a delightful time staying here, and would definitely recommend.
Thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Thanks for being great hosts!
Absolutely lovely cottage.
So clean quaint and homely. Will definitely come again. Great location and lovely to relax in hot tub. Perfect !
The photos of this property do not do it justice- it’s beautiful and spotless clean.
Facilities great. Very central for York . Will definitely return ! Missing the hot tub already
Lovely house, superb location, we will be back!
Had a great few days in this beautiful accommodation.
Can’t wait to come back another time.
We enjoyed our stay at Baggergate House, property was extremely clean and kitchen was fantastically well equipped, there was also a lovely good basket of treats on arrival.
Hot tub was fab. TV had access to Netflix. The location was great and really near Rowntree Park which was excellent for the kids. Also near great coffee shop and ice cream parlour. There were more steps in the house that I had appreciated (possibly as I overlooked description), so a few between dining room and kitchen and lounge, we just had to watch our 2yo carefully, for that reason may suit slightly older families. There was no parking but very close to train station and car park nearby though expensive. Overall great stay, I would definitely recommend this house.
great location and lovely house
