Just when you think you've seen the best views a York city bolthole could deliver, this palatial pad comes along and blows us all away. Perched high on the fifth floor of a contemporary apartment building, the city vistas across the waterways of the River Foss and to the Howardian Hills beyond are second to none. Whip up breakfast in the gadget-ladened kitchen then gather your ensemble at the dining table for a lazy morning feast. Curl up on the plush sofa with a cuppa and a good book – there's Netflix at the ready too, if that's more your style. Or sneak back to bed in the boutique-style bedrooms with freshly brewed coffee and open up the Juliet balcony doors. Wherever you choose to be, those bird's eye views of river life and the city's rooftops will be right there. And when the medieval city finally comes calling, you won't have far to go. Thanks to its privileged setting nestled within the city's medieval walls, all the must-see sights are walkable. Get off to a flying start at York Castle, just a six-minute saunter over the Foss River.
