About this property

5 Precentors Court - a premium stay that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

  • A stunning example of a holiday home set in the shadows of the iconic York Minster.

    Upon entering from the private entrance on street you will be immediately wowed by the quality of the property and the fantastic attention to detail within.

    On the ground floor you will find a superb, spacious kitchen that wouldn't look out of place on the cover of an interiors magazine with top end appliances and dining seating for 8. The main living room is right next door and features a wrap around sofa and LCD Smart TV. You can also access the gorgeous private patio area from this level via the external door at the back of the room. The patio has outdoor furniture and seating and is just perfect for enjoying the summer evenings with a drink.

    Moving upstairs to the first floor you will find the house bathroom. A larger than average room with a huge walk in shower, his and hers sinks and a luxurious freestanding bath. The master bedroom is also on the same level and contains a sumptuous king size bed, drawer, wardrobe and wall mounted LCD TV.

    On the top floor are the remaining 2 bedrooms. The first of which is a double and the twin room can be found right next door. Both bedrooms have access to a walk in wardrobe room just off the landing.

    The house also benefits from having a converted basement. On the way down to this there is a separate toilet room just off the stairs. In the basement you will find a second living room with an additional TV and also a large utility room that houses the washer/dryer and an additional fridge.

    Permit parking is provided at a nearby car park for 1 car.

Family visit to York

We absolutely loved York. Precentors Court was in the perfect location to explore the city, and the chiming of the bells was just so special. The building is full of character and charm, making it a great stay.

Fantastic accommodation in the heart of York

We could not be more happy with our accommodation at Precentors Court! The rooms were spacious and very clean and also very comfortable. The location was superior and only a short walk to everything the City of York has to offer! I will definitely look to stay here again.

Next to the Minster

This is a lovely spacious and quiet property, literally just next to York Minster. There is a lovely private terrace, with views of the tower of The Minster. It is delightful.

Great location

The place itself was cosy and well-maintained. My room was spacious, with a comfortable bed that made it hard to get up in the mornings. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to whip up breakfast before heading out for the day. One of the highlights was the small outdoor space. It felt like a peaceful retreat, especially after a day of exploring the local sights. The location was another plus. It was just a short walk to the Minster and close to charming cafes and restaurants. Overall, I had a fantastic stay. If you’re looking for a cosy and inviting place for your holiday, I definitely recommend this spot.

Delightful long weekend in York

In my opinion, Precentors Court could not be better located for a long weekend in York. It sits in a quiet street, surrounded by other period properties, is a stone’s throw from York Minster and the wonderful narrow streets of the city centre. There are also numerous eateries a few minutes walk away. Bedrooms are a decent size, the master generous with sash windows front and rear. Bathroom is well appointed and comfortable - as well as the shower, there’s a separate roll top bath. Sunny weather enabled us to enjoy the courtyard garden. In all, we had a great stay!

It’s a WOW from us!

The location of this property is simply amazing! We were gobsmacked and feel very lucky to have found it! Set in the shadow of the Minster, it is a short walk to almost anywhere in central York - but still very quiet in the house (except for the church bells). Everything we could have needed was there. Note that the house is spread over four floors, which we thought only added to its charm… Winner, winner!

Location, Location, Location!

We were staying during Christmas and the house was decorated for the purpose (thank you!). The location is splendid, it couldn't be more central and peaceful at the same time. It was very convenient for each of us to shop for gifts. You can hear the Minster bells between 8am and 8pm, but I found it charming and created quite a Christmas atmosphere. The house is very traditional, charming, and well decorated. It's spacious and very comfortable. The weather didn't allow us to use the terrace, but I believe it would be quite pleasant during the Spring / Summer. I believe I will stay here again on my next visit to York!

Birthday celebration for family

Beautiful old house just down side street from York Minster. Was handy to be so central with the pre Xmas market crowds. We could return to the house to chill before going out again. Our party consisted of four adults and two children and everything suited to what we needed. Beautifully furnished with plenty of glasses, cups, plates etc. Would definitely recommend for larger group of people. We had to arrive in two cars, and only one with parking was allowed a few minutes away from the property. My husband had to enlist the help of a local resident to be sure he parked in the allocated bay. Believe it could be marked clearer. The only other thing to mention was the heating was on very low when we arrived and the property spreading over such an area took quite a while to heat up.

York city centre holiday

A lovely property very well equipped and furnished and in a very central, yet quiet location. The courtyard garden was a real bonus.

This is an amazing property with an excellent location next to York Minster. We could easily walk everywhere with restaurants, shops and sites surrounding us. The kitchen was large and beautiful, bedrooms large plus a lovely outdoor patio to relax in. We were a family of 6, parents, grandparents and teens and we all loved it. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful house, fantastic location

Excellent property, beautifully furnished and presented. I shouldn't think you can find a better location, 20 seconds walk from the Minster but completely quiet. A perfect holiday rental for a 70th birthday celebration!

Fairytale Christmas

Our family enjoyed a magical at this beautiful property. The photos do not do it justice. We were welcomed with fresh baked goodies and all of the necessities to begin our stay. There was even a crate of Christmas goodies waiting for us in the lounge. Our family will cherish the memories of our stay. Thank you!

This was our favorite Vrbo from our entire trip in Europe. The location was absolutely perfect and our family of 6 loved it. The place is so charming but also so clean and comfortable. We wished we could have stayed more nights. Don’t hesitate to book here. It will be a trip highlight for sure!

Fabulous House

We loved our stay here. The house is in a prime position and very clean with lovely bed linen and extra touches. Beautifully decorated. Very easy to pull up and unload, then parking is a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again. A coat hook in the hall or kitchen would have been useful. Absolutely lovely house for a family with teenagers, lots of space for all of us.

An absolute gem

We stayed for three nights across the bank holiday weekend, having previously lived in the centre of York a few years ago. This is a beautifully appointed house on probably the most exclusive street in York and is central to all that York has to offer whilst being very private. The only thing to be mindful of is that the Minster bells are loud and regular, but they stop for c 12 hours from 8pm. We’d be keen to stay again.

Excellent house in a great location

We stayed in the house on the Easter weekend. House is beautifully done and very well looked after. Nice spacious rooms, large kitchen, beautiful and clean bathroom, with two leaving rooms (one equipped with toys) and a small garden. Location is amazing, everywhere is walking distance, York Minster is 1 minute away, dining and shopping streets around the corner. Absolutely wonderful stay, recommend this house wholeheartedly!
