Overlooking Acomb Green and close to a range of local amenities, this very comfortable property is just 1½ miles from the centre of York. With a cosy wood burner in the living room and an enclosed courtyard with garden furniture, guests can enjoy this cottage all year round. Regular buses from Acomb provide easy access to the fascinating walled city of York, which appeals to all ages. Step back in time at the Jorvik Viking Centre, climb to the top of Clifford’s Tower, visit the Castle Museum and Railway Museum, York Minster or enjoy a boat trip along the River Ouse. Stroll along the cobbled streets, including the famous Shambles and discover the art of chocolate making at York’s Chocolate Story. Or why not take a trip to York races? There is an abundance of restaurants, inns and tea rooms along with numerous independent retailers and out of town stores at The Vangarde and Designer Outlet, York is certainly a shopper’s paradise.

Great value for money Equipment brilliant best we have ever had , even lovely wine and fizz glasses
Great value for money Equipment brilliant best we have ever had , even lovely wine and fizz glasses lovely crockery and even the knives were sharp!Fab location Only thing that could be improved is the outside area , I think it could have been made more inviting we love being outdoors and spend as much time in the summer outside as possible. The House was so lovely it was a shame the outdoor area didn't mirror this . It wouldn't stop us staying again though.
