The house is as great as the photos make it out to be-- An ancient house that is furnished with antique furniture and is absolutely charming. The kitchen has all basic cooking equipment and a few random ingredients for cooking. The heat, needed in winter, worked well and the house stayed nice and cozy. We were very happy to find that a Christmas tree was provided for us, so we did not need to acquire one. Wow! The beds are comfortable, and the showers and hot water all are great. The location of the house is within the ancient city walls and just a few minutes walk from the center of York. There are four or five pubs within a stones throw and a great bakery/cafe across the street. A convenience store is on the ground floor. Keep in mind that the stairs are narrow, and that none of the walls/floors are straight/true-- This may not be a good house for people that are not steady on their feet. I would highly recommend staying here.

I met with my 3 sisters for a short break in York. The apartment is lovely, it was very clean & I loved that it had a lit Christmas tree & some decorations when we arrived- it was so welcoming. It’s a short walk from the train station. It’s an easy walk to the Shambles, there are restaurants & pubs on the same street. It is on 3 levels, so lots of stairs.

Wobbly floors, wonky stairs and all the other oddities you would expect in a medieval building. However it is also equipped with all the kit for modern day living. Loved it.

Great spot in York. Small old building, very vertical. Was walkable to town. Had everything we needed for 5 people.You have to find overnight parking but was within 5 minutes

87 Micklegate is a fantastic historic property. As such you have to cope with some inconveniences, the stairs are steep and the floors uneven in places. But the owners have made this as comfortable as possible. It was warm, the beds were good quality and really comfortable and the shower powerful with a sufficient hot water. The kitchen equipment was somewhat limited, but was OK to cook a stew or a breakfast. Would definitely go back

Amazing building. It maybe several centuries old, but it comes equipped with all mod cons. It is very central with an easy walk to The Shambles and Minster. You do need to be able bodied as there are 3 tight and steep staircaseses. Wheelwrights were excellent to communicate with especially considering time differences as we booked from Australia.

So much character in this building. 2 nights stay for York races. Location was perfect
