About this property
Woodsmill Quay Riverside Apt - Heart of York
This modern, well decorated 2-bed apartment is located right in the very heart of York and offers stunning views across the river Ouse. Everything this beautiful, historic city has to offer is right on your doorstep.
The apartment is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay and is the perfect place to relax after a full day exploring the city.
The apartment offers stunning views of the river. From the window seats in the bedroom & living room, you can spot Clifford’s Tower & the iconic York Minster on the skyline, or simply watch the river boats across to King’s Staithe.
The apartment has gorgeous new dark wood floors throughout. The stylish and comfortable living room is the perfect place to relax with a drink, watching the river drift by from the window seats, or curl up on the leather sofa and enjoy the smart TV or fast WiFi. There are 2 bedrooms which are both luxuriously decorated, with king size beds and plenty of storage space. The apartment has two spotlessly clean bathrooms, one is an ensuite and the other a separate bathroom. There is a fully fitted and newly refurbished kitchen with dishwasher, washer dryer and all of the equipment you need to enjoy a home cooked meal.
If you have a baby please let us know as I can provide you with a travel cot.
We offer one free car parking bay in an enclosed courtyard for our guests.
The property is located on the 3rd floor of an apartment block. There is also a lift available
Guests have complete access to the whole apartment.
You’ll be staying in a super central location with easy access to some of York’s main attractions which are definitely worth visiting. The highlights include: theMinster, Clifford’s Tower, York Railway Museum, Jorvik Viking Centre, Roman Walls, the Shambles and Bishopthorpe Road. If the weather permits a walk along the river to the Millennium Bridge is highly recommended!
There are some great local cafes including Teajuanas on Skeldergate, Forty Five Vinyl Cafe on Micklegate, and the Perky Peacock on Lendal Bridge.
We love the Angel on the Green on Bishopthorpe Road, great for coffee, drink and food all day. The House of Trembling Madness is a quirky medieval ale house on Stonegate, with amazing beers and really tasty food.
In the Shambles, we love a coffee and a gourmet toastie from the Dark Horse espresso bar in Shambles Market.
There are guidebooks in the apartment, to help you plan your stay. We’d be more than happy to offer suggestions if you need some help!
The location is ideal so you’ll be able to walk everywhere, but worth noting York Railway Station is just 0.5 miles from the property. There are bus stops going both directions only a short walk from the apartment, on Micklegate.
TRAVEL COT A travel cot and mattress are available to borrow upon request, and subject to availability. Please ensure you message beforehand so that we can arrange for the installation. Guests will need to bring their own cot bedding, including a bottom sheet. (unfortunately, highchair requests cannot be met).

Graduation Trip
We stayed here for two nights whilst in York for my son’s graduation ceremony.
It was a very well appointed apartment, with stunning views of the river Ouse and lovely properties on the other river bank.
Parking in the centre of the city was very handy and safe too.
Property was well furnished and very comfortable, I slept well in our comfortable bed.
Whilst not the cheapest option, I feel it was well worth the extra money, at the end of the day, you get what you pay for, and I will happily book this apartment next time I visit York
