For history enthusiasts, York is rich in buildings from each era and there is the National Railway Museum. the Jorvik Viking experience, the York Castle museum, the York dungeon and other attractions to interest children.

We had a great stay at this apartment. It was exactly as it is described very clean with everything you need for your stay. A great location for all that York has to offer - not even a ten minute walk away. Great having a secure parking space with supermarkets close by too. Would definitely stay again. |

Lovely apartment 1 minute's walk from the city walls (Walmgate) and a very nice 10 minutes' slow stroll past lovely shops, pubs and restaurants to the Minster and all the other delights of York. We could not fault the apartment in any way and the person who met us was extremely helpful and took the time to explain heating, best routes to take, etc. |
