Spare seating can also be found in the cupboard under the stairs for use at the dining table or on the patio.

We really enjoyed our short stay in Maggie's Place. It was the perfect location for exploring all that York has to offer and the house itself is v well equipped and ideal for our group of five. We loved that we could bring our cavapoo with us and my daughter had a brilliant birthday there. Thank you!

Far Exceeded My Expectations
I had a fantastic stay at Maggie's Place! The place was very well furnished and modernized, with a sleek design that made it feel both comfortable and stylish. Everything was nice and tidy, which made it easy to settle in and relax. The instructions for the stay were clear and well communicated, making the entire experience hassle-free. A special highlight was the thoughtful care package of local goods, which added a beautiful touch and made me feel truly welcome. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful and seamless stay!

A great stay!
Thanks so much for a great stay! Clean, comfortable, brilliant location for getting around York.
The parking wasn’t an issue at all, but there is always ample on-street parking outside the house, so would be beneficial to provide a permit if able. The NCP car park is only a few mins walk away in any case so no big deal.
We were a family of 4 with a small dog. Maggie’s Place was super comfortable and we appreciated the downstairs space for separate TV watching in the evenings! Beautifully tasteful quality furnishings (which is hard to find when you have a dog!) and a fab rear terrace for some outdoor space.
All in all, we had an amazing stay and have already recommended to others!

Excellent Clean & Cozy Property with Amazing Location and Amenties
We spent four nights at Maggies Place in York during our recent family trip, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is superb, just a 15-minute walk from York Train Station and conveniently close to all city center attractions. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, including a Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express. Despite being centrally located, the neighborhood was quiet, making it ideal for our stay in York.
The property itself was outstanding. It was immaculately clean, tastefully furnished with quality pieces, and adorned with beautiful decorations. Inside, it felt modern with excellent amenities like reliable WiFi, TVs in both the living room and bedrooms, and incredibly comfortable beds with crisp linens. The kitchen was a highlight, equipped with modern appliances including a hob, dishwasher, washer with dryer, microwave, fridge with freezer, oven, and all necessary cookware. The bathrooms featured heated flooring, and there was a lovely outdoor seating area as well.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a thoughtful welcome package including sparkling wine, local crisps, and candies—a nice touch that added to our enjoyment of the stay.
The only drawback was the single bathroom, which, despite having exhaust fans, could become odorous at times. It was on the smaller side and might pose challenges for elderly guests due to its layout. However, the presence of air fresheners helped mitigate this issue.
Overall, our experience at Maggies Place was exceptional. The combination of its stellar cleanliness and unbeatable location made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. We encountered no issues and would eagerly return in the future. Highly recommended.

Central but quiet
Excellent accommodation less than 10 min walk to the city centre. For such a central property the street was quiet. The property was beautifully decorated and the beds lovely and comfortable. We took our small dog who felt right at home. Would highly recommend and will be back.
Only downside is no parking outside but this didn’t bother us as we came by train and again train station was 10 min walk away.

Excellent propery
Excellent property couldn’t fault the place, the hamper was a very nice touch to our stay will definitely stay there every time we visit York if it’s available
Maggies's Place ist zentrumsnah und doch ruhig gelegen. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so benötigt. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll. Wir haben uns sofort wohl- und wie zuhause gefühlt. Ein Willkommensgruß trug dazu bei.
This lovely little home is beautifully decorated in a modern style and is equipped with all the amenities you could want. A lovely welcome box of local treats made for a great first impression. Checking in was quick and easy after a short walk from the train station. We easily walked to all the major York attractions. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and award it 5 stars!

Very clean and comfortable, smart tv’s in every room, wifi, looks new inside. Very nice.
Easy to book with clear instructions on using parking etc. Clean and comfortable. Near to town and attractions- 5 minutes walk to town. Parking is outside the property but street is very narrow and a bit tricky at times but we always had a space, nothing to worry about just nice to know beforehand. We had a lovely break at Maggie’s Place.
