What a great place when you looking for accommodation nearby everything.View over the Citywalls and the Minster from the kitchenwindow, Great beds, little dishwasher is a plus, and out of the front door you are in the middle of it all.The house has everything you need. We will come again next time in York.PS: Opposite the house there is a little Libanon takeaway - the 3 chefs- absolutely great homemade food.The Fat badger pub, just around the corner, has a great terras in the backgarden just beside the Wall.Good pubfood: we absolutely recommend The Punchbowl (Stonegate 7). We have tried several others but without a doubt this was the best one.
We've had another fabulous break at Minster View. The apartment is so central and has everything we need. The hosts are super communicative and provide lots of thorough information. I can't recommend Minster View enough.
Perfect place to explore York and locations farther afield, as the train station is just minutes away. We took full advantage of this feature for multiple day trips during our stay. Bus lines are also close by.If youâre traveling from the states, youâll be very comfortable here. We spoke with a British family that was familiar with the place, and stays there on holiday, but that is a longer story lol.The view of York Minster is very cool, and youâre only a few minutes walk away. Many restaurants and pubs right outside your door - Tesco & Sainsbury are also close by.When we return, this is where we will try to stay.
Four of us stayed at this property and it was a good location. We could walk almost anywhere we wanted to go - shops, pubs, restaurants, tourist sites, etc. There was plenty of space for us. The rooms were also clean. Drawbacks however were the lack of parking as we had a car. Dropping off and picking up luggage was a challenge. The Wi-Fi was spotty and seemed to only work in the main living area if you were close to the modem. Also, the many steep stairs were a challenge for one of our group with knee issues and a walking cane. There was an issue with the heating which the host offered to resolve but the temperatures were warm enough that we did not need it.
Gorgeous roomy icture perfect comfortable stay in a vintage terrace House Just outside the city walls. Easy to walk to just about everything, shops and train close by
A perfect location, a two minute walk to inside the city gate. A lovely and very comfortable stay. Hosts were very easy to deal with . Would highly recommend.
My friends and i couldn't have been happier with this place and my rating is a reflection of expectations. The apartment is perfectly located just outside the city walls with everything in walking distance.It is clean and spacious, we loved relaxing in the front room (where if you forget your book you will have of plenty of choice!) and liked being able to pop in and out of town during the day.If you're looking for the corkscrew it IS in the cutlery drawer (it is the large bullet-shaped thing!)If you love cheese .. BEWARE ... Love Cheese just a few doors down the road is dangerous! (And also for lovely wines!) Read the reviews:The stairs to the upstairs room are steep, the front room is on a secondary road so there may be occasional sirens or noise (York IS a city) and the back rooms have a view of the Minster - so you will hear its bells .. which we loved waking up to. Highly recommend eatimg at Forest.
Lovely apartment with 3 bedrooms in a great location! Close to the Minster and tour buses. The hosts are friendly and helpful. The neighborhood lends itself to a nice vacation!
It couldn't have been better: good sized property in excellent location and very clean and well equipped. All correspondence with property manager was super friendly and helpful. Great!
We loved this home for our stay in York. It is in a great location and had plenty of room for our family. The hosts were also great to work with and went above and beyond to get us the keys for check in and help look for a lost item. Highly recommend this VRBO!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Minster View. It was convenient to everything we wanted to see in and around the city and had all the comforts we needed.
My 3 cousins and I made this trip as a way of celebrating my birthday, and we just loved this house. Plenty of room for us 4, beautifully clean and very well presented. We had a marvellous time exploring York; Castle Howard was our fave, and we loved all the quirky shops, many restaurants & bars, old streets, the majesty of the Minster, even walking the walls! Such a great time.
Thought we might have a problem with 2 radiators that would'nt come on BUT we were lovely and warm without. Missed a hairdrier, but feel Im being very fussy now... would definitely come back, just loved it!!! Many thanks for a weekend of lovely memories.
The property is very comfortable and well equipped and the location is amazing..Loved being able to see the Minster from the back Windows!..Many thanks to the owner and we shall be back.

We both have long links with Yorkshire. Anna was born in Hull and John has run marathons over pretty much all of it. We keep up our connection by spending some time every year here at Minster View in York. We really enjoy strolling round the city, we get to go to the arts cinema on the river on a near daily basis and we top up our marmite supplies. (If you're puzzled by the last point it's because we live in Granada in Spain the rest of the year.) For us, spending time between Granada and York is pretty much perfect - and we know how lucky we are...
York is a great city for strolling, with everything easily accessible within a few minutes walk. We really like the fact it has so much history and the whole area within the city walls is full of boutique shops and people just generally having a good time. Because we are right in the centre we can pop out, have a look around, and then nip back for a cup of teaâŠ.. Perfect. We also enjoy the wide range of restaurants, pubs and cafes nearby and Gillygate has some great indie shops. Walking in the nearby Botanic gardens and along the river is always a pleasure.
What we love about Minster View is pretty much summed up in the name! We have views of York Minster from all of the rooms at the back of the house, at least in winter when there are less leaves. I particularly like looking at the Minster when doing the washing up. (Don't worry - we also have a dishwasher.) We also enjoy people watching on Gillygate from the large bay window in the first floor sitting room. We love that it is so central and that it is a Georgian property with lots of character.
