The Lark

Great central location. Well equipped and very comfortable apartment- ideal for 2 couples

The steep, narrow carpeted stairs. I slipped and sprained my ankle on the first afternoon. We had to amend our schedule snd hire a wheelchair

The apartment itself was lovely inside — clean, well presented and in an excellent central location. You can walk straight into the centre of York within minutes and attractions such as The Shambles are very close by. The property was modern, spacious and well maintained internally.

Unfortunately our stay was significantly impacted after we were locked out of the apartment overnight when the key snapped in the lock at around 11pm. Despite contacting the out-of-hours emergency number, no effective solution or alternative accommodation was provided and we were unable to regain access for over 12 hours, forcing us to book a hotel ourselves in the early hours of the morning. Although the lock issue itself appeared to be an unfortunate fault, the lack of effective out-of-hours contingency support was disappointing and had a major impact on our stay. The location is great for accessing the city centre, however it is also extremely noisy at night. The apartment is opposite a 24-hour Londis store which regularly attracted groups of people late into the evening and early hours, particularly around pub closing times. There was also regular street noise from loud vehicles and engines revving during the night. The property is also located between several nightlife venues including Slug & Lettuce, Yates and a nearby nightclub, so noise continued into the early hours on multiple nights. Deliveries to the shop opposite also started early in the morning. There are also a significant number of stairs, both up to the apartment itself and additional stairs leading to the bedrooms, which may not suit guests with mobility difficulties. I personally would not recommend the property for families with young children due to the surrounding nightlife/noise and the lack of effective overnight contingency support should issues arise.

Lovely accommodation well equipped, good location

Nothing

The property was lovely! Well designed, comfortable and cozy with lots of little touches. Super clean! The team made contact ahead of our stay to check in and make sure we had everything we needed. They were super quick to answer and queries too.

Location excellent. We travelled to York by train and property a short walk to station and all the city had to offer. Although we were so central, double glazing cut out noise from street very effectively.

I can’t think of anything! I was phoned as a previous visitor had problems with temperature for shower and there was the option of having this fixed but it wasn’t a problem for me. Could hear music from the barbers below but as we were out all day, it didn’t bother us. It did stop around 6 in evening.

Amazing place to stay. Really beautiful place in a perfect location!
