The City Escape is a beautiful newly refurbished Victorian Townhouse, located just off Bootham, which is the main historic city entrance road from the north ring road/A19, and is just about a 10 minute walk from the city’s historic Bootham Bar entrance gate to the city, where the Theatre Royal and Art Gallery are located. It is also just a short walk to the Museum Gardens and the river area for river walks. Close by, in the opposite direction away from town, are a few lovely specialist shops, delis and cafes.
The accommodation itself is spread over two floors and is a Tardis! Furnished to the highest of standards it offers lots of space, quality and comfort, inside and out.
The main entrance door leads from the front garden into an entrance lobby area and then into a lovely long hallway with beautiful tiling. The super-comfortable sitting room, seating eight guests, looks over the front of the property through large windows. There is also a 43” Smart TV and an electric wood-wood-burning effect fire. The sitting room is open plan with the dining room, which offers a large dining space for up to eight guests. French doors from the dining room lead into the private south-west facing walled courtyard garden, where there is seating and lighting. The superb modern kitchen offers everything a guest could need, and from which there is a door leading into the courtyard garden.
At the rear of the property, at ground floor level, is a spacious king sized bedroom, overlooking the garden area, with a brand new en-suite shower room.
On the first floor are two further king bedrooms (one with a 43 inch Smart TV) and a twin bedroom. All are beautifully furnished with high quality bed linen and everything needed for a relaxing sleep.
There is also a brand new immaculate family bathroom with a bath, a shower unit and sink, plus a separate cloakroom, both with underfloor heating.
Parking for one vehicle is on the street at the front of the property using a permit. An additional vehicle may also be able to park on nearby streets at the front of the property where a permit is not required, or at nearby Marygate car-park.

This really is a tremendous holiday property offering guests a terrific location from which to explore York, and to be away from the hubbub at night.

Leanne, DevonMyself and 3 friends stayed at Beth’s house for a nice relaxing week in York. The house is immaculate and all bedrooms done to a high standard and very comfy beds!

'Just great'
Matthew, BromsgroveGreat host. Great house. Great location. Just great. Would highly recommend.
'The house was just perfect'
Vera, London.This was just the perfect house for a stay in York. Just 10 min walk to the centre of York… a great location. The house was just perfect….a home from home. Everything you might want was catered for….and the extra little touches like the bottle of wine in the fridge were the icing on the cake. I would recommend to anyone planning a visit…and if I’m ever planning another trip, then this host would be my first choice. Just 5 stars.
'A great place to stay'
Paul, BrightonWhat a nice spot- convenient to local shops, restaurants, and other local attractions. Secluded, but close to everything, in a quiet neighborhood, which we valued extremely. A great place to stay while visiting with family and taking in the Christmas market in York.
'beautifully furnished'
Diane, Dorset.We had a wonderful time at Beth’s house it was comfortable, cosy, luxurious and the location was perfect. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated throughout and just like the photos. I would recommend staying here whenever in York and hope to stay again one day!
'Great location for York city centre'
Janette, LondonWe had a wonderful stay at Beth’s house in York. Great location for York city centre and all the attractions . Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
'Second time at the same house!'
DominicThis was our second time at the same house. I think that says it all. Beth’s house is absolutely lovely, with the large dining table a real boon for our board gaming weekends. The great weather this week meant we could enjoy breakfast and evenings in the yard.
