Squeaky floorboards but totally expected with this type of property
10.0 / 10.0
The location was amazing, right in the center of York however tucked away a little so very quiet at night. Loads of bars and restaurants nearby and lots to do in York. The house itself was lovely and very full of character.
The bed in the main bedroom was soft and comfortable whilst the beds in the other room were much firmer but still comfy.
Finally all the facilities were excellent. WiFi was good throughout and the TV and soundbar in the living room were really good.
Only 1 of the windows in the whole house opens and there is no air conditioning! Thankfully were stayed there in a typical British summer so it was cold and wet however could be a real problem in the unlikely event of a heatwave. Some of the cups and glasses were a little grubby when we arrived so we spent the first half an hour washing everything by hand as there is no dishwasher (although oddly they provided dishwasher tablets!). Beds are as wonky as the house which takes a little getting used to.

location, cleanliness and very warm as it was freezing outside, well equipped and they left a lovely complementary hamper for us to enjoy, full of some delicious treats, tea, milk, crisps, pop corn, jam, biscuits.
check in was 4pm which in the winter initially finding it and the keys boxes in the dark is not good at all! then having to move the car and read the parking zones lamp posts again in the dark is very difficult! we had to hang about to go in. Property itself very quirky, great location and clean but very very unlevel and makes you feel a bit sea sick like your on a boat! takes some getting used to!

Property in the area we like.
Not good customer care/contact from agents. Property not available until 4pm on check in day (yes we knew that when we booked) but had hoped they'd allow us in earlier which they didn't nor did they make any contact with us on our day of arrival even though we called them and they said they contact us but we didn't hear from them at all about getting in earlier than 4pm.
There were issues with cleanliness of the property which I emailed them about whilst still staying there.

Fantastic, central location. We loved the quirkiness of the old property - all the floors are uneven and it proved quite entertaining. The cottage is beautifully furnished and has quality furniture and beds. The welcome pack was absolutely fantastic, the best I have had.
It was raining and I slipped and fell on the steps/flagstones coming through the main building. The next day, when it was light, I realised there was green algae, but the back stairs/entrance porch were not lit well enough to see this or avoid it.

we liked the area where the property is situated, inside the property looked clean
the fact that free parking was SUPPOSED to be included, we were asked to use an out of date permit badge when parking our car but after over 1/2 hour driving around in the designated parking areas we could NOT find anywhere to park other than in area R18 which we were also advised to park, after parking our car in area R18 we received a parking fine, the host told us not to worry they would pay it but they later have refused to pay the fine. Apart from that there was a smell like sewage whilst using the washing machine which went all through the rooms.

Excellent location, very central but yet quiet. Many restaurants very close by. The Kalpakavadi restaurant serves excellent south Indian food. This is a nice apartment / cottage, obviously very old building but nicely renovated.
The kitchen did not have a dishwasher and the wifi was not really stable in all rooms. I believe the washing machine should be replaced with a dishwasher.

The cottage was clean
We did not know that the upper level leans quit a lot to the left. My friend felt sick walking up and down the stairs. Also the river was solid green algae, no flowing river. I have bad lungs and it was not good for me. Also the kitchen sink was very slow and had a smell coming from it.

Not all windows would open and it has been very warm this weekend.
The bathroom floor lip is quite dangerous! Lots of trips and stubbed toes!
7.9 / 10.0
It was quiet with privacy yet so close to amenities and attractions. Excellent location. Loved the decor especially the paintings, Clint Eastwood made my day! Quirky flooring made us laugh. Cracked bedroom window but as it was facing the river it didn't matter, with regard to security. Loved the ducks and swans. Great garden space too with table and chairs, great for morning coffee. Would definitely stay again. In fact called up to stay an extra night.
Kitchen plumbing could be better. Couldn't keep the kitchen window open as it kept sliding down. Dusting off cobwebs around windows and front door should have been done. Got two single mattresses on a double base which made sleeping uncomfortable. Invest in a dishwasher.

Excellent location, very quick to access the town. Took a while to get used to the weird angles but it gave it great character.
The parking was described as, "Free parking on premises", which was not the case. If it were not for comments made by previous occuopants I would have been totally unaware of needing to park elsewere. There seem to be blockage problems withe sinks upstairs and downstairs. There was a very bad smell from the kitchen one.

The location is excellent in a nice part of the city
The bed in the second bedroom was not as comfortable as the main bed and the window in the second bedroom was a little drafty.
10.0 / 10.0
Great location, right in the city centre. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the rooms were spacious.
The cottage is leaning over at such an angle that walking around induces sea-sickness-like vertigo! We sort of got used to it, but it remained disconcerting. Expensive, not surprisingly given the location.
9.0 / 10.0
Fantastic location for a short stay in York, walking distance to all the sites. All amenities to hand too. Lovely quirky little cottage - and quiet given the central location.
Could have been cleaner (coffee still in filter machine, bathroom bin not emptied) but not real problems. An outside light in porch would help to be able to see key box in the evening!

Also could not open the windows.

Nicely furnished cottage, very central for all York attractions. The food hamper was a nice surprise. The place was very clean and felt covid safe. The place is quite quirky, all the walls and floors are squint, but this added to the charm of this old building.
I liked everything really. Only suggestion for improvement is a shower gel dispenser for the bathroom.

Great location. Cosy cottage. River View. Comfy sofa and bed.wifi and parking avaliable. Quirky floors in property felt like you were walking up an incline or down one just don't put your drinks down on lounge table they will slide off
There's a small lip in kitchen that separates the dining area which could be a trip hazard also one going in to shower rm. Ironing board could do with a new cover as the ends are fastened on with parcel tape for what you pay you would expect a proper cover
10.0 / 10.0
Excellent location situated in the centre of York, quiet position tucked away, a beautiful and quaint period Georgian property, spotlessly clean facilities, tastefully decorated, crisp quality sheets and towels, good sized rooms, comfortable quality beds, a thoughtful welcome hamper on arrival and a helpful comprehensive guest information folder.
Nothing not to like

Great location
5.0 / 10.0
Location was fantastic. Received a nice welcome pack on arrival
Uneven floors were very off putting. Washing machine wasn’t working. Had to come home with wet clothes. Ironing cover had to be taped to the board, as it didn’t have elastic in it. No drying screen as described although, did receive one when I requested one. No lock on bathroom door. Shortage of towels, due to not being able to wash them when used. Way over priced.

Location, old property.
Felt like you were falling out of bed. Master room needs blocks under one side of bed to level it.

Location, Location, Location. So central, surrounded by places to eat and drink. A short walk from all attractions.
Right on the river, morning visists from geese.
No dishwasher. First time we've had to do dishes in 15 years!

Love the style, and the central location is perfect.
No dishwasher ! ! Having two disabled people in our group the parking needed to be very local. Beds a little firm.

We loved the quirkyness of the cottage with the wonky floors and the decor was lovely.
The location was spot on and could not have been in a better place for all our needs.

Property is in an excellent location and furnished nicely.
The property is relatively quiet for being in such a central location.
Felt safe in the property.
Very old property, but got used to the uneven floors and walls after a couple of days.
The house is surface clean, but needs a good clean.
Shouldn’t find items of litter and dirt under the beds, oven shelf full of food grease and bin dirty. No tea towel provided. Odd collection of cups and glasses.
Should be better managed.
