Park View House - Sleeps 6

Location. Was fairly well equipped in the kitchen.

Looked scruffy from outside, dirty front door, peeling paint. On entering it smelled like it had been smoked in, however there are "no smoking" signs up, one of them was rather large! Some curtain rings hanging off the rail. A number of rooms had a bare bulb as a light, no lamp shade. The furniture was all mismatched and old and corkboard notice boards in some of the rooms, reminded me of my daughter's University student accommodation. Beds were uncomfortable. One of the bottom sheets had what looked like dried on snot on it on a number of places. The house is shabby and needs an upgrade. Misleading about parking, advertised as having parking but on street is permit holders only. Small car park several houses up but can only park for 2 hours during the day. Overall very disappointed and not worth the money.

The location was great. Washer/Dryer was appreciated. Beds were adequate/somewhat comfortable.

The exterior could use a coat of paint!

Great place, suits group travellers.

The place was a good location, 15min walk into town, all flat. There's a park opposite, there's a bus stop opposite. The garden is large, and the rooms are spacious. You can park your car close by.

I can't believe they charge a £50 cleaning fee when this is how they "clean" the property. I have raised this with booking.com because it was absolutely filthy. Apparently this was fully cleaned so they wont send a refund.Photos attached and date and time stamped to prove we took these when we came in. We actually had to clean the house when we first came in. The sofa was disgusting, we couldn't have a cup of tea because the kettle was black, we found a mouldy chocolate button when we opened the sofa bed, the bathroom was riddled with mould and has a window which is not privacy glass and looking straight onto the garden. As mentioned in other reviews the mattresses are worn, I ended up sleeping on the sofa (after I cleaned it) because beds and sofa bed were not comfortable. The bannister is loose on the stairs as mentioned in previous reviews. Can't argue the price if you have 6 people staying however, you really will get what you pay for. I have attached photos to show what we found.

Convenient easy to get to places we wanted to go very close to the centre 5 mins in car

The bath shower was very dangerous no slip mat inside the bath. Pots in the cupboard where dirty had to rewash all pots.

Free parking availability was misleading

Location was great Bus stop opposite 5mins to city centre or direct walk takes a leisurely 20mins Asda in walking distance 10mins Beds comfy Shower hot and powerful Lovely and warm Washing and drying facilities were very helpful Kitchen well equipped Towels provided and loved the extra touches of shower gel and shampoo/conditioner Coop a few doors down was helpful Spacious Clean Garden Free disabled parking with blue badge in public car park at the end of the street. We stayed the whole 4nights with no issue We were able to have a late check out after contacting the owners as we had to transition our child (autistic) to the next change in activity which was lovely. Lots of up to date leaflets of what to do in York Helpful and accommodating owners

Old victorian building which is tired and could do with some TLC Very wobbly bannister which could be dangerous No low lights in the lounge No bedside lights No outside parking except for loading (didn't bother us) "Old lived in smell" but we aired it in the day and you soon got used to it If you want 5* this isn't for you If you're happy with basic and want it as a bolt hold to see York it's ideal. We were a family of 4 inc a child with disabilities Toilet downstairs and steep stairs but to be expected in an older building

Very big house nice and cozy with everything you could need from home to home The host are amazing ..shops a few minute walk ..the center was only 10 mins away . Nice and quite area .would definitely stay again

Me and my friend found the location quiet and very convenient for going into town. The house has a charm and quirkiness to it, it's a little dated here and there but well equipped and the beds were more comfortable than we expected at first glance. For January there was enough heat to be comfortable and the bathroom although a little inconvenient being next to the kitchen rather than upstairs added to the talking points. We liked the house overall and you can see it has a lot of potential. We'd consider staying again in the future and it was a value for money break for us both to lift the January gloom. Thank you!

The only real downside apart from the mattresses being a little worn was the location of the bathroom. The stairs are quite steep and it's a bit awkward to get up at 05.30 to use the bathroom but we just drank one less cup of tea. Room for improvement in a couple of areas and could do with a spruce up here and there but on the whole we found it comfortable and it was a safe and quiet place to settle in after a busy day round town seeing the attractions.
