Authentic period features such as dramatic high ceilings, sash windows and striped wooden floors are paired with colourful tones and bespoke artwork by local artists. And of course, you’ll find all the 21st-century comforts and luxuries needed for a memorable stay and our reviews are testament to this. There’s plenty of space for guests to relax and unwind in the main living area, which has comfy velvet sofas, board games and a 42” Smart TV. The home features a fully equipped kitchen and guests have complimentary use of the breakfast pantry during their stay. This is fully stocked cereals, barista-quality coffee and more. Menagerie House has three gorgeous bedrooms, a master king suite with an ensuite wet room, a double room and a twin that can be set up as a king. Each room boasts sumptuous beds with deep mattresses and the Egyptian cotton linen. Along with the ground-floor WC and master ensuite, there is a shared bathroom with a roll-top bath and overhead shower. The home also has a secluded courtyard with outdoor seating, festoon lighting and BBQ facilities. It’s a lovely spot to spend sunny afternoons and alfresco summer evenings with a glass of your favourite tipple. The house is in Bishophill, one of the most historic and desirable parts of the city. You’ll be spoilt for choice with things to do and sights to see right on your doorstep, including the magnificent York Minster, Bar Walls, York races, Museum Gardens and Abbey.
