Minster Loft - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Quirky, a tucked away gem, an amazing little space. Those are just some of the words we've used recently to try and describe Minster Loft, but really it's far better to come and see it for yourself to truly appreciate this one bedroom loft apartment.

Located at the top of a historical listed building, the apartment is also right next door to the birthplace of the infamous Guy Fawkes. So you are immediately immersed in the history of the city. It's also incredibly well positioned too. Just stepping out of the door puts you within a two minute walk of all the attractions in the city and also the renowned shopping streets of Stonegate and Low Petergate are literally on the doorstep.

There are many period features on show within the apartment that are apparent as soon as you open the door. They are also very nicely complimented by the choice of furnishings throughout. There is a stylish galley kitchen complete with electric oven and hob and also a dining table to seat up to 4 for dinner. The lounge area also has a wall mounted LCD TV where you can relax with a luxury coffee from the coffee machine provided.

The bedroom has a stunning view of York Minster, you feel like you can reach out and touch it. There is also a very modern looking shower room located opposite the bedroom.

Minster Loft at a glance:

- Tasteful presentation and period features throughout
- Fantastic York Minster views from the bedroom window
- City centre location with all that York has to offer right on the doorstep
- Stylish shower room

Please be aware that this is a second floor apartment with no lift access. The apartment also has a restricted head height in places due to the angle of the roof so not recommended for people over 5'11. Paid for parking is available close by - please enquire for details.

Up in the Loft

I liked this place a LOT. Great location, super cozy, in the middle of it all. Important -- if you are taller than 5 feet 5 inches it will be uncomfortable for you. It is also at the top of three flights of stairs. The check in process was easy, the hardest part was figuring out which key went to which door. After that, it was all smooth!!

We were locked out. No wi-fi. Poor communication

In 10+ years of booking vacation rentals on VRBO, I’ve never had an experience that inspired me to write a negative review. …Sadly, my experience renting the Minster Loft brings that run to an end. I’ll start with the good: the location can’t be beat and the views are beautiful. Despite these great assets, this rental experience left my partner and I feeling uneasy, inconvenienced and at times, at risk. On our second night of our stay, we were locked out. It was cold out. Our phone batteries were about to die. We requested a phone call. We could only get texts from management offering useless advice. (“Did you try turning the keys both ways? ”) … Eventually, a third-party security man arrived and confirm that the door was stuck. Via text, management eventually, they offered us another property, but left us with no access to our luggage, phone, chargers, or umbrellas to combat the coming rain. The kind security person ultimately finagled the lock to get us in. Not until the following afternoon did management to visit the site, confirm that there were faulty locks, and addressed the matter. Wifi never worked. We reported this, but no effort was made to rectify the matter. There were also issues with communication surrounding payment of the balance, which management insisted on conducting offline from VRBO, via bank transfer. Yes, the views are lovely, but management of the property is limited, unaccommodating and quite literally, left us out in the cold.

The location and view of Minster Loft was amazing which is why I chose it in the first place. Unfortunately, the basic cleanliness of the property was lacking.

Lovely apartment in an excellent location

Minster Loft was a wonderful apartment in terms of its location and views and Chris was very helpful showing me the keys and access. It was always nicely warm and cosy and a good place to have a peaceful break. Sadly the provision in the apartment was rather poor for accommodation that was listed as “boutique”. There was no bottle of milk in the fridge to allow for that first cup of tea (horrible UHT milk capsules instead). The Wifi did not reach the bedroom, there were no instructions for the oven and no oven gloves. The cutlery and plates looked as if they had come from the jumble sale and there was no washing up bowl, egg cups or teapot. It was the first apartment I have stayed in at Christmas where no effort was made to decorate which was quite sad. I would agree with the comments passed about it not being suitable for tall people as the ceiling, particularly in the bedroom is low.

Great location

Fantastic view of York Minster and very centrally located. The property is quaint with timber beams throughout. Lovely and clean and easy to pick up and drop off keys. Little extras like coffee and chocolate add a nice touch.

Loft with a spectacular view

We have enjoyed our stay tremendously. The view out of the bedroom widow is unbeatable. The location right in the center is superb. At night it is calm. Mind the headspace if you are taller than 170 cm. And it is a bit awkward to pass through a dental practice whenever you get in and out. :) They don´t seem to mind, though.
