Great hosts, great home, great find!

Happy to have found this place, it was a seamless experience from start to finish. Hosts were great and very responsive. House was placed just a stone throw from the city walls so was very close to everything. Parking was provided in the car park opposite. Great stay here.

Fabulous place to stay in York

Priestly House is the ideal house to stay in York. It's location makes for easy access to the station, Minster, Theatres, Betty's and the Ivy all less than a 10 minute walk away. Lovely accommodation with comfortable beds and nice clean fresh linen and towels. Sainsbury's local just across the road and lots of bars and restaurants very close by too. We had a lovely stay and would be keen to return I'd recommend this property to others.

Just a 2-minute walk from the cathedral, the house is nestled right against the York city walls. The cozy balcony even features a part of the ancient wall, offering a lovely view of the Museum Gardens. With its comfortable sofa and mattress, it's the perfect choice for your York getaway.

Super location

Easy access to York Minster and nearby pubs. Car parking easy when you find it - Radio York offices off Bootham Road would of located it easier. Lots of stairs in accommodation, very tight with anyone with mobility issues.
