Take time exploring York and marvel at the gothic York Minster, enjoy the remarkable National Trust Site of the Treasurer’s House or spend time in the Jorvik Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum.

Perfect place to stay for exploring York. Off street parking such a bonus, especially being only 15 mins walk from city centre. This place is spotlessly clean and has everything you need. It’s warm and cosy and beds so comfy and ex large! The dog loved it too ! We will be back to explore further afield

We've just returned from a lovely week spent at The Old Bike Store in York.
We've just returned from a lovely week spent at The Old Bike Store in York. The cottage was so nice, exceptionally clean, well appointed, smug and warm and ideally placed for a short walk into the city centre. We received an email from our friendly hosts before we arrived, which contained lots of helpful information concerning travel directions, parking advice and contact details should we need any further assistance. Whilst it was still chilly outside, the wonderful underfloor heating meant we kept warm indoors. There were lots of small grocery shops nearby along with various takeaways, so we were spoilt for choice. We'd definitely recommend this holiday cottage and have every hope to return there in the not too distant future.Many thanks to the owners for providing such a great base in this lovely city.

A lovely warm modern flat.
A lovely warm modern flat. And the beds were soooo comfy. Maybe a welcome pack eg tea, coffee would have been a nice extra.
