    Everything was great - nothing negative to report!

    The property was well maintained & very cleanly, not to mention in a great location, particularly when you consider there was on-site parking. I was a little apprehensive regarding the shared bathroom, but as previous reviews have stated, it was barely noticeable & certainly didn’t impact on the stay. The owner was attentive without being overwhelming & I would more than recommend.

    The Townhouse was beautifully decorated. The host’s attention to detail is impeccable. Peter gave us a warm welcome and was incredibly kind when we had a little “vino on clothing” mishap! I am looking forward to staying here again.

    It's a really lovely place short walk from the old centre. The room is cosy and clean and well equipped. The bathroom is shared between two rooms, but it's a short walk across the corridor, and is spotless clean. The host was very friendly and helpful, sent us all info in a timely manner and kindly arranged parking for two cars.

    For us the bed was not substantial enough. We are both very tall and the mattress was quite thin.

    The bathroom was spotlessly clean. The location was ideal near the city centre and some great local restaurants. Also the free parking is ideal.

    No big deal but checkout at 10am is a bit early esp. when bathroom is shared.

    Great thought had gone into everything from the entry instructions to the kettle area to parking. Attention to detail was immense. The bathroom is shared but was being checked very often and was immaculate.

    There was nothing to dislike about the property.

    Lovely room, very clean and really nice thoughtful extras in room. Shared bathroom which I hadn’t realised when I booked but it was not a problem. We did not see any staff/owners but instructions were very clear, I would thoroughly recommend The Townhouse.

    The stairs are steep and after a long day of walking, the last trek to my bed was tough! A small table would be ideal!

    The location was ideal with a bus stop out in front! Peter was there to greet us and was like a genie answering our questions!

    Excellent location, less than 10 minute stroll, past a lovely little fairtrade shop, to Bootham Bar (and access inside the Walls) and a recommended Nepalese restaurant. There was sufficient on-street parking, with permit arranged by the host. Comfortable room and bed, with a handy fridge and coffee-making facilities. We appreciated the plastic plates, bowls, cutlery and glasses available from the Snug and could pop to Co-op round the corner for fresh croissants etc for breakfast or for a snack dinner. The host was attentive to maintain the shared bathroom and washed dishes left in the Snug (thank you!) but left our room undisturbed. Highly recommended.

    The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. We had absolutely no problems during our entire stay. It is an amazing location as well with the city center just 10 mins away by walk. There are also a few restaurants 2 mins away from the house. Peter was so good and kept us informed about everything right from the start. Amazing stay, would highly recommend.

    I found it challenging sharing a bathroom with visitors in another room, as it wasn't always available when I wanted to use it, but as we were out a lot of the time it didn't impact our enjoyment of the stay. Also, there were a few creaky floorboards that made it difficult to creep around the room and not disturb my friend when I woke up much earlier than she did, but again this wasn't an issue that affected how much we enjoyed our stay!

    Beautifully clean and warm room in a lovely townhouse. The twin beds were really comfortable and it was great to have a kettle and fridge in the room. The host, Peter, was very friendly and welcoming and clearly takes great care of the property. We stayed over Easter and it was a nice touch leaving a little chocolate egg for each of us alongside the biscuits on the tea/coffee tray. There was a Co-op conveniently located right near the property for any supplies, and it was an easy walk to get into the heart of the city and see the sights of York. Peter arranged an electronic permit for us to park in the street right near the house and there were plenty of spaces available when we arrived. The shared bathroom was kept clean throughout our stay and had a fantastic shower (also a bath, but we didn't use this). I would definitely recommend the property and I'd stay here if I visited York again.

    I didn't mind, but it might be good to know that it is two flights of narrow stair up so elderly people with a lot of luggage will struggle. The shower was a bit tricky at times though 😅

    Everything was great! The location is close to town but in a calm part of town! 😊

    Bathroom got a bit congested at times and the plug disappeared the second day but never asked the owner as it was very late at night and didnt want to disturb. WiFi signal was low. Expensive but what do you expect for York.

    Brilliant Location and the Owner was in constant communication to ensure our stay was nice. Parking was easy and free. House was stunning, nicely decorated and very characterfull.
