We enjoyed a few nights stay whilst visiting york. House was small and cosy and clean and had everything we needed. Nice decor. Comfy bed and sofa. Lovely spacious bathroom with roll top bath and shower . Small yard. About 20 mins walk to the centre but we took an uber. Managed to park in nearby street. Got the key code the day of arrival. Had the choice to pay the damages waiver. Would recommend .

The hosting company were very helpful when we realised that we had left an item in the property after check out. The house itself was exactly as described, the bathroom was lovely! However, we did notice that there was some dirty dishes left in the dishwasher before our arrival which wasn't ideal. It's approximately a half an hour walk into the city centre so you won't have to pay for parking if you're happy to travel by foot. However, we did feel a little wary of leaving the car in the neighbourhood whilst visiting the city centre as we had seen some incidents whilst walking to the local shop.

The Railman’s cottage was great. There’s a 20 minute walk through a lovely park along the riverside to the centre of York so the location is very convenient. From the outside, the place looks small but inside the renovations have been done well so the place looks smart and clean and feels quite big. The mattress could be a little more comfortable but otherwise a perfect base for two to use to explore the city.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was perfect for what we needed, a rest stop to explore York. It was a quiet location with easy parking. It was a lovely walk by the river to York but if you are walking at night it did feel slightly intimidating so you might need to factor in an Uber. We didn’t use any of the kitchen facilities as mostly ate in York so unable to comment. Shower temp was temperamental but we got the hang of it. Host was really responsive. The only thing I found was the cleaning wasn’t up to my personal standard. We found dirty used tissues in the bedroom under the chaise lounge which was off putting. Nevertheless we would definitely use this accommodation again when visiting York. Thank you for a lovely stay!
