I like staying here when I want self catering with secure parking but I think it would benefit from better housekeeping sometimes. I think it needs heating more generously as the seasons change. The welcome pack is very meagre and full of plastic milk sachets and plastic wrapped biscuits. It used to be significantly better with chocolate, tea, coffee etc. The wifi is good.

Our 2nd visit to this house which is ideal for a quiet York visit and great for racegoers as it’s a short walk alongside the track itself down to the racecourse entrance. Three good pubs in walking distance in Bishopsthorpe add to the experience. The house itself is very clean & tidy with a welcome pack on arrival and everything you need for the stay. Easy arrival & departure, only thing was I couldn’t find a shaving point, may just be me but worth bearing in mind. Would happily book again

This is the second time I’ve stayed in this property. It’s in a lovely quiet location on the edge of York. There’s easy access with a bus stop at the end of the drive. Very comfortable and well equipped for self catering. The bathroom tile grouting need a good clean and the shower seal was mouldy and needs replacing,otherwise no real complaints. I would definitely stay here again. Mark

The property is in a beautiful location, just hearing birdsong in the morning started the day perfectly. The property its self is comfortable particularly the downstairs, the bedrooms are very small and the hall would benefit from a curtain as it is very open. On two days there was a strong smell of drains (which I noticed another review mentioned). We have stayed in other StaysYork properties and in comparison the welcome pack at Middlethorpe was very poor. However, we would consider staying again.

A fantastic off the road location which was both quiet yet still conveniently close to York, literally a ten minute drive away. Our cottage (No. 1) had it's own private back yard, open plan living room and kitchen, two bathrooms and bedrooms with a spacious hallway. A hassle free perfect weekend. Would definitely use again.

The place is very handy and I like it but I’ve stayed a lot of times and gradually noticed the deterioration in the maintenance and housekeeping unfortunately. It’s not a huge thing but finding other peoples used towels, crumbs, dirty plug holes and grout, bathroom toiletries empty (again!!) is getting annoying as the price hasn’t come down. There is a large wall stain in the upper hallway, the bathroom tap isn’t fixed in place, the shower screen is a bit grubby. The welcome hamper used to be great but it’s just cheap biscuits and a few tea, coffee and milk sachets. A simple pint of milk would be much appreciated and probably involve less plastic waste. Curtain in hall would be great too. It’s a big window and not private. I’m a big fan of the place but it’s getting expensive so standards need to be better.

Great place to stay, has almost everything we needed (no colander/sieve!). Comfortable and cosy- have also stayed here in winter so know its warm- and easy to access York and beyond.

On first arrival the cottages were beautiful. Walking into number 1, we also all thought it was beautiful! However, looking around, there were a lot of cobwebs in the corners of the room and spiders. I had to go round with a cloth and wipe them away. Then as the night went on, the stench of sewage coming from the hallway wasn’t pleasant! (This stench also stayed for the whole weekend) The next day, we all wanted showers, however the showers temperature couldn’t be changed, so we had to have a scolding red hot shower at the hottest temperature! To top it off, the bathroom blind was smothered in mould. A lovely cottage with a lot of potential but needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. Disgruntled we paid more for this cottage also!

6 Cottages ex Stables, beautifully converted, situated alongside Middlethorpe Hall, once an upmarket Night Club/Restaurant, now a hotel. Peace and quiet guaranteed. Close to York racecourse and Bishopthorpe village for shops and Pubs, York City centre a short drive away. What let Cottage Nos.1 down was it needed cleaning from floor to ceiling, Cobwebs in most rooms, leather bedhead thick with dust, among other things. Two items of dirty clothing were found behind each of two bedroom doors. We reported these issues and we were told they would be looked into when we vacated the Cottage. We hope they do!!

Cottage was not for us but in a great location. The customer service from Chris and team was excellent as always. Chris very quickly dealt with changes to our booking. We have booked through Stays a few times and always very satisfied with friendly service and quality of properties.

This cottage was clean and most importantly, for an allergy suffer, mold free. It was in a great location near down town York without the noise and traffic. Will definitely stay again if I make it back that way!

Immaculate, comfortable, relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The photos on the website were a true image. I couldn't fault the accommodation. It was a little out of town but a lovely walk to get there and an adequate bus service 2 mins from the property.

We spent a very good weekend here in a cosy cottage near York. The only issue was wifi which was poor. The cottage, however, is lovely and decorated to a high standard. Nice welcome hamper. So good to have a parking space at the front door. We would love to come back in summer.

Great find, so close to the York but in it’s own quiet hamlet.

Great find, so close to the York but in it’s own quiet hamlet.

We absolutely loved our stay at No.1 Middlethorpe cottage, it was exactly what we were looking for. Such a lovely quiet, rural location but so close to the beautiful village of Bishopthorpe or a short bus ride or walk along the river to York. Very comfortable stay, welcome hamper was a nice touch, house had good amenities we will definitely stay again.

Nice for a weekend stay in York

Nice for a weekend stay in York

Originally booked into No 5 but got there to no heating or hot water- apparently the boiler is “temperamental “. Fortunately this was just before Stay York shut for the day and after a phone call we were quickly moved to No 1. Spacious and comfortable but looked like it had not been prepared for guests that weekend- all minor issues like no shower gel, no salt in salt pot, and bits of glitter on the floors. Be aware whilst there is wi-if it pretty poor. All that said we would be happy to use this cottage, or one of the others here, for a short visit David from Oxfordshire

Having stayed here in a different cottage a couple of years ago our family and I were excited to return the weekend before Christmas as a special treat for my sons 15th birthday. Directions to and access to the cottages was simple and straight forward and the cottage was clean and perfect for our 2 night stay. We not hesitate to stay here again when we decide to explore York in the future.

Lovely Location, Beautiful Property BUT…..

Lovely Location, Beautiful Property BUT…..

We enjoyed our 4 day stay very much but required reasonable WiFi for work commitments. WiFi is beyond terrible, difficult to send/receive emails let alone access web. Poor EE service in location hence added need for functional WiFi. Also radiators need bleeding. Sounds like Niagara Falls when the heat comes on. These are both small issues which we hope the owners choose to correct quickly. Grab bar in the shower would be helpful as it is an awkward in/out and an accident waiting to happen. Otherwise well equipped, very comfortable and quiet.
