Montrose House

Location was fantastic, house was spacious, clean, nicely decorated and the outdoor area was a sun trap! We had the best time staying here :D

Only thing was that there were no complimentary cleaning products such as antibac wipes or spray, there was also no tea towel to dry pots after washing. But that's me being picky and clean haha!

Proximity to the racecourse. Quiet location.

Having a small chair in the 3 bedrooms would have been useful to put clothes on etc.

it was perfect for our get together. beautiful furnishings. everything you needed and comfortable.

The beds were the incredibly comfy, we loved the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting area and the decor was so well considered.

Location was excellent. My husband and grandson were attending the model railway show which was held at the racecourse so it was only a few minutes walk away. We also were able to walk to the city centre, about 20 minutes away.

The property is spacious with 4 bedrooms, one of which is on the third floor and quite self contained - ideal for an older child or relative requiring a little privacy at night. Furnishings were well coordinated to a high standard - a beautiful home. The property is close to the racecourse so a good 20-30 mins walk into the city, although you can easily pick up an Uber or local bus.

Our stay was quite exceptional as Booking.com had failed to disclose that the adjoining property was undergoing construction (commenced 2-3weeks before our stay, so before we even booked) and, therefore, our day started at 8am, having been awoken by heavy construction related noise: drilling, workmen playing music, climbing up and down scaffolding, hammering, etc The noise was ongoing throughout the day. Therefore the beautiful kitchen and outdoor seating area could not comfortably be used as there was no privacy and noise and dust. The noise was ongoing throughout the day - so we left. This minimised the hours we used the property and was therefore hugely inconvenient. Without construction, there was still a few issues: the property provided incorrect wifi information in their access information and incorrect guidance for locating the thermostat. Easily rectified, we located the box ourselves; however, an inconvenience and sloppy. Tried to call the mobile number provided for assistance but no answer. Left a message but call wasn’t returned that day. We had to clean brown gunk from shower walls. The blinds aren’t great (look good!). they let in lots of light, so if you need a dark room to sleep, the front room is pretty light from 7am, so sleep in the back. Beautiful vanity table in master bedroom - a stool would make this perfect. What could have been a great stay was just not restful at all.

the property was lovely and just at the pictures.

No welcome pack ie,: bread milk, salt & pepper

The house is beautifully decorated and finished to an excellent standard. It’s close to a corner shop, a pub, a Co-op and, of course, the race course. It’s just over a comfortable mile walk to the walls of York. My family had a lovely short stay there.
