Modern, colourful and supremely comfortable, this apartment on the west side of the River Ouse is an excellent base from which to explore the best of York. Inside the home, it’s all sumptuous soft furnishings in the living space and sleek mod-cons in the kitchenette. Head through to the bedroom and you’ll find a hotel-quality bed that ensures a blissful night’s sleep. After a cup of Yorkshire tea and a hunk of local Moggy cake, pull on your comfiest shoes and hit the streets. The famous Jorvik Viking Centre and medieval Shambles are less than a fifteen-minute walk from your doorstep. Enjoy a mosey around York Minster, reached in twelve minutes, then stroll around the peaceful Museum Gardens. When you’re ready for something to eat, Micklegate, with its selection of bars and restaurants, is just footsteps away.
