Personal comfort, which is always down to the individual, the bed upstairs was uncomfortable because I could feel the springs in the bed. Owners have obviously taken a great deal of care to make the property a home from home experience and they have been very successful. Relaxing few days away with a friend in a lovely place, with plenty of laughter.

As other people have said the welcome pack was lovely, and the heating was on when we arrived which was also nice. If there was one small thing it would be nice to have a shelf in the shower to stand your shower items on. We would recommend this property. It's very easy to get into York.

Unfortunately the beds were uncomfortable for us, but it is always a personal preference!
