Nice place - Great location

The location was really convenient and easy to walk to restaurants, The Shambles, etc. The place was nice and clean, but it does have a very noticeable slant that made walk through the place sometimes feel like a fun house.

Amazing location, quirky cottage

The location of the Cottage is 5* easy walking distance to the Jorvik, York museum, Shambles, river cruise and lots of restaurants and pubs. York Minster is also nearby. The photo of the Cottage at the back of the building is accurate and can be accessed through the main building (it has steps down) or side entrance (all flat) Previous reviews have said the cottage floors slope, and yes they do, we got used to this quite quickly and it added to the quirkiness of the Cottage. The Cottage was well equipped and comfortable, bigger than the photos suggest. The windows do open onto the river. I really recommend this Cottage for anyone who likes old buildings and comfy accommodation, if you want a square box hotel room, it’s not for you! We parked our car up for the duration of our stay and walked everywhere. Finally I wanted to share that I stayed here with my parents aged 87years and 81 years, they use walking sticks and loved the cottage and location! Well done Stays York for the great service too!

Walmgate Cottage

Walmgate Cottage is a pretty house in a great location. The sloping floors were part of the charm for us though levelling the bed in the first bedroom might be helpful. We noted that previous requests for more than one tea towel and a little more basic kitchen equipment had not been taken up. Our party of four adults for three nights were given a tiny amount of an old loo paper roll and I did ring the office in a nice way to request a couple of new ones but this was not acted upon. I think it was a pity to have to spend a holiday weekend shopping for this - perhaps the office agrees?
