The Haven

The property is in a great location, the host went above and beyond on our stay!

Well equipped property with plenty of space. We were a group of five and the sleeping arrangements (single beds) worked very well for us. The hot tub was a very welcome extra!

Only small things. The key box was very fiddly. No good if you have fingernails! An extra towel would’ve been handy for use of the hot tub. Property advertises complimentary toiletries but we didn’t have any - which didn’t matter as we brought our own. There was a soap dispenser in the bathroom but it was empty.

Great house with real comfort and style. The shops and lively bar at the end of the road made it feel really friendly and authentic. The hot tub and cute outdoor bar in the yard were an added bonus. Just a few mins walk and you are in the heart of York. Really comfy beds and molton brown toiletries on each bed was a lovely touch!

Parking is tricky (on street Parking is tricky (on street permit parking for one car was provided) but the car drivers had to park a few mins away in the car park and the York car parks are very pricey. Not the owner's fault obviously just a word of warning if you are coming with a few cars.

The location, the number of beds/room configuration, the hot tub were all great. The kitchen utensils, glasses etc were good, some plastic glasses for the hot tub would have been a bonus.

The only shower was the en-suite in the attic bedroom, the main bathroom had a bath only with a shower attachment which wasn’t great. With 7 people to get ready another free standing shower in the main bathroom would have been better. The stairs to the attic were quite steep which was ok for us but people with mobility issues would struggle.

Fantastic location close to York centre- lovely decor - hot tub - comfortable beds- clean and modern-

No means of making proper coffee - not even a cafetiere

The house was clean throughout, and was perfect for my Hen Weekend. The location was amazing, 10 mins walk to the centre and close to train station. Really liked the little gift of toiletries on the beds on arrival. Hot tub was a great addition. The house was comfy and cozy, and got warm quickly. It was a great base to explore York, I would recommend this for family trips to York or hen weekends. The owners get back to you regarding queries very quickly and seem very friendly. Really appreciated the use of a dishwasher and washer, especially when there is a big group of you. The beds were very comfy. The area was very nice and safe with a nice precinct full of independent shops and bars closeby, busy road but wasn't loud in the house.

The kitchen was lacking utensils e.g. scissors and other utensils to cook meals. There was a small leak coming from under the bath (the pipe). The henry hoover smelt really bad so think it either needs replacing or fixing. We struggled with hot water tap even after reading instructions but thats no bother at all. There wasn't a plug where the vanity table is in top bedroom. 2 of the bedrooms could benefit from having a wardrobe where you can hang clothes up, also the bedrooms could benefit from some hooks on the doors for towels.

Beautiful and clean
