Host & Stay - The Railman's House

Location was great . A quiet residential area and just a 20 minute stroll in to the city centre and rail station

The property was furnished well and it was clean. Tea, coffee and milk was provided and we were easily able to access the heating and the Smart TV. A taxi to the centre cost us about £7, so the location was good overall.

The bed was really uncomfortable.. you could feel the springs in the mattress and the pillows were very lumpy. We weren’t able to sleep well for the three nights we were there. Also, the shower wasn’t very warm even on the highest setting which was quite disappointing in late December.

Nice overall place for the price (against York prices at Christmas this was a little cheaper than most hotels) Can walk into the city in 20 mins And could park easily outside the house which was handy

I really am not one to complain , however on this occasion I feel if the hosts read this they might save future complaints: The bed was so uncomfortable you really can feel every spring in the mattress! If this is updated the stay would be much better! Can’t complain with much else it is just as it looks on photos.

Lovely break in a convenient location. Great facilities and bed. Compact and beju, very glad we found.

The shower needs to be a little warmer.

The house was clean and tidy, the area it,s in is very quite, and there is a local pub with a cafe also attached to it, also a small corner shop near by. Shower worked fine as did everything in the kitchen .

I thought the house was a bit shabby, and the fixtures and fittings were not of much quality , hot tap in upstairs bathroom, turned on both ways which was strange, both bathroom and bedroom door stuck in the frame , bedside lamps you could not really use as the bracket was worn and would not stay were you wanted it to. Also i could not get the heating to work, how ever much i tried to use either box. wall paper very worn in places going up the step stairs.

Beautiful home. Clean tidy and all the facilties you need. Quiet area no issues with parking. Close to city. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning.

No negatives

Location was very central and the house was nicely decorated and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and it was lovely to be able to eat breakfast outside in the garden. Perfect size for a couple's holiday. Older reviews mentioned the lack of smart TV but the house did indeed have one when we visited.

The duvet on the bed was too warm for the season, could have done with a thinner one for summer as it was 30c when we visited. There were no instructions on how to work the dishwasher so we were unable to use it. There were no pods for the coffee machine, but there were instant coffee sachets.

Nice and quiet ,very clean
