Clean with personal touches
The Hideaway is a quaint cottage with outstanding cleanliness and amenities. The added touch of snacks waiting for us was so appreciated and welcomed. I also appreciated the flyers of local activities. Communication was excellent and very prompt…an added touch of hospitality. Neighbors were friendly and well accommodating while we were unloading. And York is a lovely city.

Exploring York and Theatre trip
This is the second time I have stayed at this property - once with my family and this time with friends. The house is very conveniently situated - a walk into the city centre or an easy bus ride. The house is an incredibly cute little cottage finished to a really high standard. It has everything you could possibly need and the owners have thought of everything! All the little touches were very much appreciated (like a bottle of milk and even a bottle of Prosecco!) I would definitely recommend this property!

Great Spot in York!
Very recently updated with nice finishes and appliances. Hosts were easy to work with. Was worried about parking but was able to find a spot easily thanks to the description in the instructions.

Superb base to explore York and beautifully appointed
This is such a great place which could very comfortably accommodate a small group or a family. Extremely well appointed and only about 10 minute walk to the city wall. Nice cafe and a local shop just around the corner, as well as a good fish and chip shop. Jim was a great host - very attentive - and his communication was excellent. Really could not fault it it any way and would have no hesitation in recommending this for a brilliant city break in one of England’s most beautiful cities.

What a charming place to stay!
We had never been to York before and were delighted with the area and with this charming house. It has clearly just been done up so everything is pristine and done with such style. Jim and Kate were very prompt to reply and sent us all the information we needed. Can't recommend highly enough.
