About this property

5 Rowntree House - sleeps 3 guests in 1 bedroom

This charming apartment sits within a grade 2 listed building which has been sympathetically renovated and manages to preserve the integrity of the wonderful original features.

Being the birthplace of Joseph Rowntree the building is adorned with old photographs and artefacts that give you a real sense of the history of the building.

Superbly positioned just opposite ‘The Shambles', you really couldn't be closer to all that the city has to offer. That being said the apartment has a great balance of being a quiet retreat away from any street noise.

Upon entering the hallway leads through to the kitchen/lounge and dining area. The kitchen is equipped with all the amenities you'd expect to find, such as a dishwasher, fridge freezer, Nespresso machine and washer/dryer. There is also a dining table to seat up to 4 for dinner.

The lounge is equipped with a sofa that can be converted to a bed to accommodate the occasional extra person.

The master bedroom is stylishly presented and features a king size bed and wardrobe alongside bedside tables. The bathroom of the property is very spacious and contains a freestanding, walk in shower and separate bath.

Although there is no parking with the apartment, paid for parking is available just a couple of minutes walk away at the Q Park where you can park for a full 24 hours for £19.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Shambles. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. The apartment includes amenities such as a kitchen and a microwave.
  • The apartment offers a kitchen, a dryer and a living room

Perfect Location

Apartment is in a great location within the city walls and an easy walk to attractions and great restaurants. In fact, The Shambles is literally right across the street. There was a M&S right across the street for all your grocery needs. Would definitely stay there again.

So central and elegant!

Such a central location, opposite M&S Food Hall - couldn't be better. The property was so elegant and provided all we needed, comfortable and so quiet considering it's location. Everything was clean and well presented. As per other reviews the shower is so small with no room to move , no shelf to put shampoo etc on - yet the bathroom itself is very big. Also the blind at the big window in the bathroom was torn and falling down. However, we loved staying there and would not hesitate to do so again.

A great base in the centre of York

Very central - literally opposite The Shambles and with easy reach of all the places you'd want to visit in the city. Also close to several food shops. Well equipped kitchen area and comfortable seating. The downside is that the bedroom is quite small and with little space to unpack; and the flat is up two flights of stairs.

Drawes for knifes and spoons etc was full of bread crumbles, cabinet handles in kitchen was dirty, microvawe owen not very clean. Could not find tablett for the dishwasher.

Beautiful flat in heart of York

Really lovely flat situated in the heart of York just opposite the Shambles. I had originally booked a larger accommodation however a couple of our party pulled out and Stays York couldn't have been more helpful. They provided list of smaller alternative accommodation and changed our booking over without a fuss.

Wonderful place to stay

This apartment is in a great location within the city walls and near to all the attractions. It is exactly as it appears in the pictures. I have no complaints. Loved that there was an M&S right across the street. Would definitely stay there again.

Even better than expected!

Fabulous location in York City Centre, yet blissfully quiet for sleeping. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and cozy. Loved it!

Superb location and a lovely apartment. The only downside as others have mentioned is that the shower in the bathroom is really tiny, which is strange because there is plenty of space for a bigger one. Otherwise absolutely great

Great location

The flat is in a fantastic central location to explore York while at the same time being set back away from the road so there is no street noise. It has clearly been recently renovated and there are large windows to let in plenty of natural light.
