This was the second time that the women in our party had stayed at Priestley house and we had returned with our spouses because of its central location and large living space. York and this property was an excellent meeting point for us coming from different UK cities by train.
As before the beds were comfortable and the property met most of our expectations. There were a few things that could be done to make the property even better and we have passed these onto the agents like the need for extra tea towels and towels. If you are reading this and considering renting just be aware that it can be a bit noisy if you like windows open, and the two second bedrooms have little spare space.

We loved our stay. The house was perfect for me and my two friends. Beautiful property with everything we needed and more! We each had our own double bedroom, which is important to us being ladies of a certain age, we like our own space! Very comfortable beds, we all slept so well! Great location, walkable to everywhere we wanted to go. Easy walk to the centre. Supermarket and parking across the street. I would absolutely recommend this house and hope to return again! Extremely helpful communication. Very helpful with a last minute late check out x

Priestly House is very nice with comfy beds and everything you would need but location right on busy road with single glazing makes it near impossible to get any sleep. For this reason I would not stay again.

Such a beautiful home within easy walking distance if the town centre. Sainsburys directly opposite, which made everything very easy. Takeaways on the street and two bookshops! Perfect! Parking was easy and free. House was stylish, warm, and clean. Some street noise but that’s to be expected and did not in any way detrimental to our stay. Would recommend.

This property was absolutely stunning . The interior was done to such a high, unique standard. It had a very modern, yet extremely homely/cosy feel which you don't often get both. There was a nice little window/balcony area that looked out onto the city walls. It was perfect. There are so many positives to this property and absolutely no negatives. They even provided discounted parking in a nearby car park. Happily stay here again.

Lovely property, fabulous location right in the centre. Lovely comfortable beds and all the facilities were perfect thank you

A really lovely house which was extremely clean. Be aware though that there are two storeys of quite steep, winding stairs and a lot of traffic noise as it is on a busy road and the house has single glazed wooden windows. Earplugs did the trick! There is a tiny outside space which currently houses a dustbin but would benefit from a small table and chairs for the warmer months.
