The Davey Tower, Medieval Riverside House

Very old tower, querky but nice. Décor good.

External steps to first floor rooms as my wife uses walking stick, she managed with discomfort. Parking and able offload luggage a problem at the accommodation. My biggest issue of being bombarded with two invoices, text and a phone call to pay before actual visit. Agent (Sally Butterfield) indicated it was their policy to pay 12 days prior. Yet in booking.com add it indicated in bold letters "No pre payment needed" and on second page "you pay when you stay at the Davey Tower". Advertising totally wrong and flouting trading standards/consumer law. Otherwise a very nice stay in the Tower and York.

Fantastic location by the river, very quite, beautiful views from the windows

This place was amazing! Location. Was excellent too! A rare find!

Great location. Very quirky with lots of character. Comfortable.

Felt that it needed some TLC and refreshing. The bins hadn’t been emptied for a while and are right next to outdoor seating which we didn’t use because of the smell of the bins and flys. Also, the car park situation isn’t ideal. It costs £20 per day and is quite a walk carrying luggage. Later found out that you can park outside on the quayside for 15 mins. This is enough time to unload the car. This needs to be mentioned.

Location was perfect right by the River central but quiet.

Nothing at all .

So happy we picked this house, it is in a perfect location, and made access to everything in York so easy. Although by the river and with people walking past, there was no noise. it is unique, quircky and very comfortable, a proper home from home. The shower is amazing. The private courtyard was lovely to enjoy a morning cuppa in. We would definatly stay again.

Although generally surface clean, there was bare plaster in the bathroom and a pile of plaster dust where I imagine a socket had been installed, this seemed quite an oversight by the cleaners. There was also rubbish bags left in the court yard.

Location was excellent, very peaceful and central. Lovely accommodation, well equipped

We booked this property on the understanding there was parking. When we arrived, could not find the promised parking permits so had to telephone. Were informed they had been withdrawn and we had to pay to park over the road. Not ideal as my mum has mobility issues. This also meant I had to get up early each morning to renew the parking to avoid a ticket. Would have been less annoyed if a) parking had not been promised in the first place b) the text message less than 24 hours earlier had informed us of the situation c) we had not had to take the initiative to call in order to be told. Poor customer service
