About this cottage rental

It has a superb view from the front of the house over the entrance to the Museum Gardens and St Olaves Church.
Marygate is a fascinating, attractive street in a central York location. It is not too busy, so it is quiet at night. It's location makes it an ideal base to explore all of York's many attractions, all are within easy walking distance / Minster 5 mins walk, main shopping areas 5 minutes walk through the Museum Gardens.

The cottage has been equipped and furnished to a high standard incorporating a hand made kitchen with quartz work surfaces and Smeg and Neff appliances.

The rest of Yorks' restaurants are just a short meander through the Museum Gardens, between a 5-10 minutes walkaway.

Our family of 7 stayed in York for a few days as a bridge between London and Edinburgh. Our stay at 58 Marygate was everything we hoped it would be.

We stayed in Louise’s beautiful property while in York. We were members of a family ranging from 17-83. There was ample space for recreating, sleeping, eating in comfort, and the house was immaculate and cozy. Located across the quiet street from Museum gardens and a medieval church, a short walk from the riven Ouse, the setting was idylic.

We had a fantastic stay in Louise's gorgeous cottage. Beautifully decorated, luxury bedding, comfy beds and just 5 mins from centre of York. Check in was easy and Louise allowed us a later checkout which tied in nicely with our train home. We have all agreed that we would love to come back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to others coming to York.

Absolutely lovely property, perfect location(close enough to everything but still quiet, low traffic). We visited from the US, traveling from Newcastle by rail- a short walk to and from the station. The cottage is in perfect condition and accommodated our family ranging from 4 to 75... grocery store up the end of the street allowed us to prepare meals at home and visit sites around York at our leisure. We could not be more happy with the experience!

We recently stayed at 58 Marygate for 3 nights. We were a group of 6 ladies whose ages ranged from 42 years- 72 years. The house can sleep up to 8, however we felt this would have been a squeeze in the living areas if there were 8 adults, (would be fine with small children however). The location is perfect! We walked into the centre of York in less than 10 minutes, and there is a lovely pub on Marygate which has a fabulous atmosphere so this quickly became’our local’ during our stay. There is also a Sainsbury’s local at the top of Marygate which was handy. Our only slight niggle was the main bathroom was very cold, and could really benefit from an extra heat source in there. We also struggled to override the programmed temperature and set times for the central heating, but we could have quite easily contacted the host to rectify this but we chose not too. Both twin rooms lacked robes, and as we found the house became quite cold in the evenings, these would have been handy for all of our group to use, but there are plenty of blankets provided so utilised those instead. We really loved our stay here, and will definitely stay here again in the future.
