Such an amazing location, and for being so central we weren't disturbed in our sleep at all! The view of the church tower from the bath was a real bonus. When we stayed we did have a wee issue with the blinds not all responding to the controller, and when we folded the sofa-bed out it was clear it hadn't been hoovered as thoroughly as it could have been BUT overall we really enjoyed our stay and loved being so close to all the fun things York has to offer!
