Modern and well equipped with all we needed for a short break exploring York. Check-in was easy and we appreciated the text telling us it was ready for us earlier than we expected. The property was comfortable and the kitchen was bright and clean. We had a bit of a problem logging in to the internet but a call to the company sorted it out. Very impressed with the comfortable bed and the bright bathroom and shower. We thought the bus service to York was great and buses were frequent and quick. We ate over at the Plough one night which had good food and friendly staff. The outdoor seating area was a bonus and we made good use of it.Also the dedicated parking space was an essential we appreciated.

Great property

Th Smithy is a fantastic property for 2 people. Very quietly located & less than 5 mins walk to the bus stop into York. Designer outlet only 5 mins drive away. Very clean. Thank you very much for the wine, fresh bread, tea, coffee & biscuits. Would definitely recommend & would stay again.

Idyllic

My partner and I have just spent five very enjoyable days at The Smithy. The property is equipped to an exceptionally high standard and, although in close proximity to the Main Street, it is a quiet and peaceful spot in which to relax and unwind. The location affords easy access to York, either on foot or via a frequent bus service. The Plough pub, situated across the road just a few yards away, offers good food and a warm welcome. The ‘welcome pack’ was a lovely touch and much appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend The Smithy to family and friends.

The Smithy Fulford

Beautiful cottage with excellent position close to York in Fulford. Accommodation is perfect for our four night stay. Lovely welcome pack is a lovely touch too. Very quite area even though it is off a main road. Really great pub opposite ‘The Plough Inn’ for evening meals, great atmosphere, good food and friendly staff.

Comfortable bolt hole

House was perfect for our needs, comfortable and cosy. Parking a bonus, as was patio. One or two minor issues: no window pole for bedroom windows; coffee mugs stained; one pillow protector slightly stained; blind pull for patio door had come apart and no promised bag for linen so had to pile it at bottom of stairs. I stress these were minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and would certainly book the house again. Oh, and neighbours were very friendly!

One little problem

The cottage was exactly as described and looks like it is nearly new. It was very well stocked with the basics spices, paper supplies, etc. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because upon arrival we found that we had been given the wrong code to the key box and could not get in. It took about 20 minutes and the help of friendly neighbors to contact the property management and get in.

Light and bright

We had a 5 night stay. Great location to town and public transport and the cottage was very light and airy. Off street parking always a bonus. The only complaint was there was no microwave especially for price of the stay and the oven needed cleaning. Communication was great and we had a very enjoyable stay. Recommended.

What an absolute gem!

The property is absolutely stunning with everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay - pure luxury! Perfectly located for easy access into the centre of York with frequent buses stopping in the village, so no need to worry about parking! The Plough public house is only a few minutes walk from the cottage and is well worth a visit with an extensive menu and a host of Yorkshire ales.

Aangenaam verblijf, mooi, modern ingericht huisje met alle comfort en privé parkeerplaats. Leuke attentie van Stays York. Enige minpuntje: er is geen kleerkast, enkel een rek met hangers en een commode. Bushalte is vlakbij en op 7 minuten ben je in het centrum van York.
