The house was easy to find, opposite part of the walls. We were able to leave our bags early so we could explore the city.
The house had everything we needed for a weekend away (a few more mugs would have been useful). Comfortable beds and lovely showers.

We had a family wedding in the city and needed a comfy base. This property didn’t disappoint, beautifully appointed apartment, clean, fresh and a great size.
The only slight downside (for us) is the bed in the master bedroom was so hard we actually struggled to sleep, but personal preference aside, it was a lovely property.
Beware unloading/loading luggage is a hair raising task, lots of traffic between two busy junctions, you do need your wits about you!

The York Boutique is a charming 2 floor house/apartment situated directly above a Salon situated minutes walk from the city centre and main tourist attractions in York including the Castle Museum, Jorvik viking centre and the Barbican theatre. The property is very well presented and has excellent facilities throughout including 2x showers, modern kitchen appliances, TVs in all the living spaces as well as a washing machine and dryer. The property is also conveniently situated next to several pubs and restaurants. The only downside is there is no parking, so probably better suited for those travelling by rail than by car. All in all, we had a lovely stay there and would recommend.

We had a most enjoyable stay at the townhouse. It’s very well equipped, with a good supply of tea, coffee, sugar and a few extra essential provisions. The bottle of Prosecco and crisps were most welcome too. The day we arrived it was cold and raining quite heavily, but the house soon warmed us all up once the boiler and heating were turned on and we all felt very cosy and at home. The beds were very comfortable and the showers good and powerful. It’s only a short walk to all the shops, restaurants, pubs and tourist attractions and particularly close to Clifford’s Tower and Castle Museum. Access to the city wall walk is just across the road. We were concerned about being situated on a busy dual carriageway, but the traffic noise wasn’t a problem, particularly for the guests staying in the bedrooms on the first floor. No complaints at all, but we were a little disappointed the Blu-Ray player that’s available couldn’t be used, as there’s no HDMI cable connection to the tv. We were hoping to watch films in the evening via a USB stick, which would fit into the player, but obviously we weren’t able to do so as there was no connection. Because the tv is fitted flush to the wall, there was also no way of plugging the stick into the USB socket at the back of the tv. Also, the extractor fan in the upper suite toilet has been fitted in backwards, so blows air in rather than sucking it out. A recycling bin would be very useful too, as a large proportion of our rubbish was recyclable and therefore ended up going to landfill. Just a few small things to consider for future guests, but all in all we had a really lovely stay and would definitely book again

I stayed at Fishergate apartment/townhouse for 3 nights in January with my mum (80) and my 2 young kids. The apartment is on a busy main road but noise was not an issue (and I'm a light sleeper). The outside and entranceway is a bit off-putting but once inside, the apartment is really lovely. Very well renovated - a high standard throughout. We had a very minor issue of a few lights not working, and York Boutique Lets sorted it straight away. The apartment was very clean, lovely comfortable beds and plenty of pillows, soft towels, quality bedding etc. The kitchen has a Nespresso machine (the type that uses the small pods) and some pods are provided, as well as instant coffee and tea. There was also a bottle of prosecco for us in the fridge which was a lovely touch! There are two large showers (no bath) and both are lovely warm and powerful.
The apartment is over 3 levels. The ground floor is just the entranceway and cloakroom. On the first floor there is the kitchen, lounge, 2 bedrooms (which adjoin) and a shower room. On the second floor is the master suite, which is very luxurious. The stairs up to the second floor are quite steep, which is worth bearing in mind. We had originally planned for my mum to have the master suite but she didn't feel confident on the stairs.
The apartment has some lovely original features, high ceilings and sash windows. The heating is very effective and we were able to keep lovely and warm despite the cold weather outside.
A few doors down is The Mason Arms. We ate here twice and it was lovely, proper pub food.

Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean and well located right by the city walls and walkable to the city centre. Beautifully decorated and well laid out, spacious and with some really quirky but useful touches (we loved the light well with the unusual mirror in the upstairs master suite). Very spacious accommodation with comfy furniture and well equipped kitchen.

We had a wonderful stay - the location was great - just a few steps from the center of the city and next door to a lovely pub. The setup is really nice as well because there's a more private bedroom and bathroom upstairs. And since the apartment is on the second and third floor of the building, you hardly hear the cars outside at all. Host was very responsive and helpful as well.

The house was so lovely, on a main road but this did not bother us. Parking just round the corner. City centre literally a few minutes walk away. Lots of lovely pubs nearby, The Mason Arms directly next door did a great Sunday Lunch! Great accessibility. Very spacious inside, comfortable beds. Would love to come back here!

With a view of the bar walls at your doorstep, this property was a truly amazing find!! We wouldn't stay anwhere else again. The property was decorated to perfection and was spotless, you can see a lot of care goes into the place! The beds were soo comfortabe and provided a great night sleep! The shower on the top floor felt very luxurious and the kitchen had everything you could need to cook a meal.

Nice view of the City Walls but top bedroom windows need a good clean. Very hot when we were there so a fan would have been useful as top bedroom very warm. Microwave would have been beneficial also. Noise from road and pub but not too excessive.

Loved the location, a 10 minute walk to some excellent shops, attractions, cafés and restaurants. Shop till you drop, stop for coffee and pastries and start again. The attractions were plentiful, the Minster, Dungeons, Yorvik Centre etc all easy to locate then back to the apartment to change and walk to some superb eating places, Indian, Italian and English, they were all so good.

Fishergate was perfect for our weekend away. We parked the car in the Q car park (2 minutes walk) and never needed it again. 2 minutes walk to the centre of town meant we could come and go as we pleased.
The apartment was spotless, the beds really comfy and the bottle of bubbly left for us was a really nice touch and very much appreciated.
I would happily recommend this place to anyone.

Just as advertised, a luxury townhouse in a very convenient location. Parking at St George’s Field was closer than we expected.
Well equipped clean and comfortable . The only inconvenience, NO microwave !

A great spot for your visit to York. The flat is well located and far better value than a hotel. It’s beautifully furnished and well kitted out.

Brilliant house for a group visit/ family. Very clean and cosy. Plenty of bedding and towels. Nice touch of a little welcome gift. Only recommendation is there needs to be a stair gate for the top of the stairs coming up from the front door. Also there were no mirrors in either downstairs bedroom
So difficult to do hair and make up.

We stayed here for a hen weekend in York. The property was clean and comfortable, it had a fantastic living space and a really well equipped kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. The location was brilliant for a short walk into the town centre along the river. When booking we had asked for two of the beds to be separated but on arrival this hadn’t been done. I rang the booking agent and they sent someone out straight away to sort it out and it was done by the time we had carried all our luggage from the car. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Due to Covid restrictions we had to book a self contained place to stay, we had already booked our parking at the Q Barbican so this place was really near. Above a hairdresser on quite a busy main road with a pub 2 doors down. A lovely spacious apartment on 2 floors. Up the stairs you have 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living room. All the rooms are really nicely done out and very clean. We used the room with the rear bay window which overlooked the pub beer garden, there was a little noise but it’s difficult to stay in a city and totally avoid it. The front living room does have traffic noise but the bedrooms are all on the rear. Great TV in the living room which has hdmi cables if needed. Up another floor is a bedroom with en-suite, we didn’t use this room as the stairs are a little tight and after a couple of drinks it might be difficult! Another lovely room though. We would definitely stay again. Laura the booking agent was really helpful too.
