About this cottage rental
Designed with families in mind, the house is also great for small groups. Many guest considerations have been taken into account when setting up this property - comfy beds, beautiful bed linen, essentials (shampoo, shower gel, tea, coffee), fast WiFi, and large TV with Netflix.
The property has been renovated and furnished to a very high standard by the owners, providing a superb holiday home comprising the following: Open plan Lounge, Dining and Kitchen, small utility room on the ground floor, three bedrooms (an en-suite) and a bathroom on the upper floors.

The dining area has a large table and six chairs and plenty of room. The fully equipped luxury kitchen with marble worktops includes an Aga electric oven/grill and gas hob. An American style large fridge freezer with filtered water and ice, micro-wave, toaster and dishwasher.
Off the kitchen there is a small utility room that has a washer dryer, utility sink and a useful downstairs toilet. Parking is on street at the front of the property with a permit.
The rear yard is a beautiful place to sit on a warm evening. A perfect spot for a morning coffee alfresco or an evening glass of wine.
The main bedroom has a king size iron bed, with plenty of wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with basin and wc. The rear bedroom has a comfy double bed, single wardrobe and a chest of drawers. Loft / third bedroom has two single beds, (please note that upon request these can be made up to form a king size bed - although guests should be aware that this room does have head height restrictions being within the roof space.

This house is great, very homely. Close enough to centre of York to be able to walk in and enjoy all York has to offer, yet far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Have stayed here a number of time and will be staying again.

We stayed as a family of 5 adults, and the layout was ideal - on the ground floor the space was great for socialising with open plan lounge, diner and kitchen, leading to outside space. There is an added bonus of a downstairs toilet. The outside space is compact but catches the sun very nicely during the day, with space for their table and four chairs, and for the dogs to enjoy too. There are then two floors, one with two bedrooms and the main bathroom, with the main bedroom having a lovely ensuite. The second floor has a sloping ceiling, our son is 6ft 2, and just managed - the bed can be made into a kingsize but being tall the headroom is restricted, but manageable. Beds are very comfy. Everywhere clean and well equipped. Location is great, quiet neighbourhood, with amenities close and a lovely street nearby with wine bars, artisan shops and breakfast eateries, in addition to York being a 10 minute walk including a beautiful walk by the river. Overall an excellent place to stay, with great hosts.

We met the grandparents here. They drove but we did it by train. You could easily do York without a car if you stayed here. We walked everywhere including from the train station. I liked how close it was to the wall but it was a quiet location.

Fantastic! The location was brilliant, the house is delightful with plenty of room for all. Lovely little touches by host, like fresh milk, tea, coffee and bottle of fizz. Such a little gem I have recommended to friends already. Stays York were also extremely helpful and really impressed by the curtesy call the day before our trip.

This is a great family home within easy walking distance of the city centre. Comfy beds, big fluffy towels, and a very relaxing environment. We loved our stay here!

I can't imaging a better spot to be in York. A short walk to everything while in a very quiet neighbourhood on a cute little street. The flat was modern and had excellent features and a lovely kitchen. Six of us were comfortable. Having 3 bathrooms was great.
The third floor bedroom had very creaky floors over the main bedroom.
I would definitely rent this flat again. We all loved it!

The property was better than expected for location and quality. Everything was clean, organised and furnished to high standards with thoughtful amenities provided, even a hairdryer in each room! Quiet area and neighbours. We had a lovely stay, ate at local cafes and went on long wintery walks through historic York.

Absolutely wonderful will be back close to everything yet quiet when need only small niggle would be loose floorboard in top bedroom so any movement was very loud in main bedroom
5.0
This is a lovely property in a really pleasant area which is very close to the centre of York and yet is quiet and peaceful.
The property is very clean, well equipped and well presented with comfortable beds and furniture and everything is well maintained apart from a small issue with a bathroom door handle, which is the only reason for the lower rating in the condition category, We were very pleased with the provisions and treats that were left for us and the information provided is done so in a warm and welcoming way so you feel very much at home here. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely property on a very quiet street, but only a 5 minute walk from the town centre. The spec was really high, lovely plush carpets upstairs, and the bathroom and kitchen were better than at home! Lovely little gifts on arrival and nice touches, like having coffee, milk etc. We had one minor problem, resolved by text message within minutes.

Great Property, Great Host, Great Location
The property was perfect for all our needs, kitchen was lovely and beds and baths all spacious, modern and clean.
The host helped us out right after we arrived as we were inept with Skeleton keys :-). The location was fantastic, with access to the city wall at the end of the street as well as access to the old city, museums, galleries and shops a short walk over the bridge.
We absolutely recommend this property and our thanks to the host for their lovely home and and lots of great information.

Fabulous introduction to York
This pristine property was perfectly located in York, just a short walk away from so many destinations and attractions, including the wall. My 3 sisters and I, all 45+ years old, found the home welcoming and comfortable during our stay. When we return to York, we would definitely stay here again. Just a gem!!!

Perfect base for a mini break in York
We chose Fairfax Street for its central location and family friendly amenities (cot/highchair, parking, etc).
The house is on a quiet residential street with ample parking. On arrival the house was clean and tidy, with a thoughtful welcome hamper. The living space is large and comfortable, great for socialising, with a well equipped kitchen.
The master bedroom was large, plenty of space even with a cot set up. The other two bedrooms were smaller, but fine for our needs.
The location was excellent - just a short walk into the city, lots of cafes/restaurants nearby, and even a small playground at the bottom of the road which was great for our young children (1 and 4 years old). We will definitely stay again if we come back to York.

Modern, Clean and in the Centre of York
Had a wonderful stay at fairfax street and could not recommend this property enough. It was clean, modern and only a 10 minute walk into the centre so extremely convenient. All of the simple things had been thought of like plenty of plates/cutlery, condiments, extension leads, plugs in the right place. To top it off coffee/tea, biscuits and wine provided!
It was really helpful to have on street parking. Plenty of spaces however heads up that it is a bit more of a tight squeeze getting out of spaces so choose your space wisely!
The only extra touches that would be nice would be a dressing table in the master beadroom and extra bedside table in the attic room. That would just be being very picky though.
Thankyou so much for a lovely stay. Also thanks for cleaning so quickly meaning we could check in early. It really meant we could make more of our first day. I would also highly recommend the tomahawk restaurant for anyone that likes steak!

Excellent Location and Accommodation
We really enjoyed our stay at 48 Fairfax Street, York. The property is in excellent condition and perfect location for easy access into York. The property was well equipped and clean. Parking was a bit tricky, large vehicles will struggle through the narrow streets. The owners made us feel welcome, with some treats. Will definitely stay here again.

Good location, poor service
The house is situated close to the high street near city centre.
Parking is on the a very narrow street.
The house was recently renovated but several things were not checked before it went up for rentals so we were the first to find the problems like bath tub plug doesn't work properly, or that the door handle to the bathroom comes off when you use it, or that the fan in the downstairs toilet fan is broken, or that the back door to the tiny patio garden was poorly fitted such that it takes a lot of effort to shut it.
We were happy to ignore all of that until we were asked to leave a day early by the agency because the landlord double booked up with another family who were arriving on our second to last day. That almost ruined the trip. And then we were physically shouted at by the landlord when we last 10 minutes after the 10am checkout time. She really scared my kids that day!
In all the placed I know and have been to, there is a 30-60 minute courtesy period after checkout time to allow for last minute things.
There are many properties in York. I'm sure you can find another one without such problems as this one.

Lovely house in the center of York!
There was 4 adults and 2 children and plenty of room for us all. The house is beautifully maintained with many modern facilities that made our weekend away feel luxurious. The team at York Stays were helpful from the first phone call and provided us with all the information we needed. It's a quiet street but 10 minutes walk from all of the main attractions. We highly recommend 48 Fairfax Street!

Stylish, well-located property - very comfortable with thoughtful touches
We enjoyed a very comfortable stay in this delightful property. The owner had included thoughtful touches and appeared to be easily accessible, although we didn't need to contact him at all during our stay. Everything was spotless, and the property was finished to a very high spec.

Great location, lovely property, parking easy
We were looking for somewhere close to the centre of town with parking that would fit a Land Rover. We expected to be disappointed, but 48 Fairfax Street was perfect. Inside the city walls, residents parking available, very quiet at night. House very well looked after, no complaints at all.

Family Stay in York
Could not have asked for more from this property. Perfect for a family of 6 (4 adults + 2 kids). We did not have a car and groceries, sights, train station all very close by. Information on site was extremely helpful. It was a pleasure to return home each day to this cozy house. Would definitely book the same place when returning to York.

A Hidden Treasure in York
This house is superb! From the start, it was clean, spacious and the hosts had provided the essentials to start us off such as bread, milk and a bottle of Pinot Grigio! The location was perfect, less than a 10 minute walk into the heart of York and it was a privilege to stay in their gorgeous house! We will definitely think about staying again next year!
5.0
Neat and sweet with everything we needed.
48 Fairfax St is an excellent rental for a family or group. It is city centre yet quiet. Parking outside the door. The house is very well equipped from really good bed linens and towels to kitchen utensils. The starter pack is well thought out and was much appreciated after a long drive. Loads of information about York and it’s hinterland. Wish I had discovered this house before now!

Ideal central location
A lovely, comfortable house, ideally located within the city walls so very easy to get everywhere on foot. Even the station is a short walk or £5 taxi ride so if you don't have a car this is perfect. At the end of Fairfax Street you can go up on to the city wall and have a really interesting walk all round or just access the part of the city you want to get to.
Inside, the house has a downstairs loo as well as the ensuite and a family bathroom. This worked well for our group of four friends. We stayed during an unusually cold spell in June so were pleased to have the electric fire in the living room. Would definitely recommend this for a small family or group wanting to see York.
