The place itself is fantastic. Only issue was with kitchen. Some plates, bowls, mugs and pans were not clean. The plates were too big for the dishwasher, which meant they had to be hand washed. Washer/dryers should not be advertised as such, because the dryer simply doesn’t dry. An airer would be great as an alternative.

Beautiful location, lovely cottage, would recommend.
However things need addressing - emailed York Stay - had no feedback - so unfortunately I have had to put it on here.
On arrival - cottage wasn’t ready at 4pm, no long mirror in one of the bedrooms - screws on wall for it, dishwasher didn’t clean - so had to wash everything by hand, many cob webs and there was rubbish under the furniture.

Loved that both bedrooms had an en suite, one with a bath. Very modern kitchen with everything you need. Lovely guest box with tea coffee etc. Thank you.

Great customer service, very communicative and responsive. Shame about the smell which had to be sorted ourselves. Although it was resolved easily it doesn’t set a good first impression, and for the price it’s a shame you have to air it out yourselves as this is clearly a known problem.

Nice little cottage with good access to York city centre by bus or on foot. Much appreciated little hamper with goodies for our stay. Would recommend to family and friends.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Middlethorpe. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water and good heating available. A bonus was having an EV charger outside the front door. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped but some basics would have been appreciated e.g. salt, pepper, oil, coffee (there were plenty of tea bags), a grater. More cutlery is needed for 4 guests, also more mugs would be helpful. Toilet brushes in the bathrooms are needed. Both toilets need attention as the water is running constantly.
The welcome hamper is a nice touch.
6.0 / 10.0
The location excellent, but a lot of things need working on (see below) and therefore very expensive for this stay.
Wash bowl broken
Knives blunt
No large saucepan
1 tea towel
1 Bin bag for a tiny bin
Dishwasher too small for plates
Frying pan bevelled so didn’t sit flat on surface
Stools were so uncomfortable
Hinges in both bedroom windows broken
Blind broken in bathroom
Bulb under stairs broken
And so on …..

Great location for York and the racecourse. Gorgeous cottage, comfortable beds & lovely kitchen and was able to park the car right outside the door!

A perfect little getaway
A beautifully presented and fully equipped cottage within walking distance of York city centre. Didn't use the car at all during our stay which was lovely. Middlethorpe village just down the road with some great pubs serving very good food.
Stunning surroundings, very tranquil.
The cottage has been finished to a very high standard with so much attention to detail. You can see a lot of love went into the renovations and the owners should be very proud of what they have created there.
Definitely one to make a return visit to and recommend to others.
