What a delightful little gem of a place away from home. Good parking, bus stop across the road, shops, bars and restaurants within a few hundred yards. Access to the city walls within walking distance. What's not to like.

My reaction on walking into the Little House was " Wow!!"
It was superb, a bottle of wine and some crisps had been left for us. It was immaculate, quirky and very comfortable. It had everything you could want and with restaurants only a few minutes walk plus a couple of convenience stores, the town was only 15 min walk to centre. We had a lovely stay and I would definitely recommend this place for 2 persons.

This is a little house, and a gem of a little house. Everything you need is there, and the accommodation has been very cleverly designed with the small space available (and the space is small). The house is stylish and we very much enjoyed our stay. Being on the celebrated Bishy Road is a big plus - there are lots of shops and restaurants just a few minutes' walk away - and it is an easy walk into the centre of town. We would certainly return.

It's a lovely place to stay and it's easy to walk into York.
It's a lovely place to stay and it's easy to walk into York. My only other comment is that it would have been helpful to have instructions for appliances. There may have been some but I couldn't find them.
