Apartment 11 - Bootham House

Fantastic location and a very comfortable, clean and well thought out apartment. We stayed in Bootham House for 7nights for our trip to lovely York and were extremely happy with the accommodation. Apartment 11 was clean, well equipped and had everything we needed. Although on a busy road, the bedroom is at the back which meant no issues with sleeping. Lovely to wake-up on the Sunday morning to the church bells. All communication with Stays York was excellent and seamless for key collection and arrival information. We were extremely pleased with the fabulous welcome hamper - thank you!. Definitely no hesitation to book here again when we return to York. The only negative we do have, is that the shower water pressure is very poor - perhaps due to the very heavy build-up of limescale on the shower head?? It isn't a deal breaker but it is an area that needs addressing. We look forward to coming back...

The pictures do not do this place justice - it is much larger and roomier than it looks. The private parking, the lift, and the location were all must haves for us, and those features did not disappoint. They did an amazing job restoring this older building. The location is close to everything, yet very private. I would definitely stay here again.

We returned after a stay here earlier in the summer. Such a great apartment and wonderful location, so close to the city centre. We loved the furnishings, space and separate kitchen - plus the on site gated parking. The lovely welcome pack from Stays york was much appreciated. It was a little warm in the apartment during our stay, as it is built into the roof. Blinds on the side windows would have been handy so reduce the warmth and glare of the sun at certain times of the day. The mattress is very comfortable, but is made of foam which made it a bit too warm for us. It will probably be fine when the temperatures drop. That said, there are tower fans in the apartment. I’m sure we’ll be coming back for a winter stay.

We loved our time in apartment 11 it was very clean spacious and the location was perfect we’ve booked again for next year

LOVE LOVE LOVE there are other words!!! Best in York I stay in so many places and this is the best !!

Beautiful appartement. Everything in it you wished for a short stay. We would recommend a better description of opening en closing the rooftop windows in the bedroom and bathroom. We did only find out at the last day.

Beautiful property and location of York. Highly recommended already booked for another 10 days so looking forward to returning

Lovely property great location with great secure parking....just a short stroll into York centre....couldn't be any more convenient

We have never stayed anywhere so badly supplied with equipment. The first thing was finding there was nothing in the flat with which to open a beer bottle. No chopping board. No pepper. Empty salt and pepper mills (an earlier tenant had bought some salt from Sainsbury's). Enough, all ready. Table lamp broken and dangerous. There is much to like about this apartment, but it is let down by these sorts of little things. Expenditure of £20 would make a huge difference, but it was apparent from Stays York's attitude that the owner wasn't interested.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay in Bootham House 11. As the property is self catered, we do not provide any cooking equipment such as salt and pepper, however I do apologise about the missing bottle opener. We will make sure to check the table lamp. Please rest assured we have taken your comments on board and we will do our best to resolve these issues as soon as possible. We hope to welcome you back to York soon. Kind regards, Rosie Stays York

Great apartment in one of the best locations in York, just a few minutes from Museum Gardens and the Minster. Parking was a bonus. When I saw the photos I was a little concerned about the room sizes/ceiling heights in this top floor apartment, but it was spacious and airy. We just missed a couple of days of high temperatures, and as there are several unshaded skylights (there is a blind on the one in the bedroom) it gets a lot of sun. It was fine when we visited though, and there are a couple of tower fans if needed. Lots of storage, well equipped and very comfortable. The views of the rooftops on Bootham through one window and Museum Gardens on the other were lovely. Great to have a separate good sized kitchen, as so often in holiday lets there is only one combined living space. We loved our stay here and would be happy to return.

We had a lovely time, the flat was very nice. Only comments are the showerhead is covered in limescale & the door doesn't shut properly in it. Also a few updated utensils and baking equipment would be useful! But thank you, the location was perfect for what we wanted.

Loved this apartment. Perfect location . Spotlessly clean and comfy - smart tv and WiFi all spot on Benefit of free parking and ev charging. Loved the little bag of goodies from stays overall would stay again for sure

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The communal areas are well maintained and the lift was a real bonus as the apartment was on the top floor. The allocated parking is a deal breaker for us and the secure car park is a bonus.

Great location, parking excellent - didn't use the car at all. Flat warm and comfortable, everything we needed. Can hear the Minster bells chime ....

We stayed in appartment 11 for 3 nights and had a very enjoyable stay. The appartment is located in a quiet building with secure access. Secure & reserved parking was a bonus but the parking area was slightly tight - no huge problem. The appartment was well equipped, clean and tastefully decorated. It's bigger than it appears in the photos. It's located 5mins from York Minster which is surrounded by lots of lovely restaurants (Lucia & Cut and Craft were our favourites). Everywhere in York is within walking distance as the city centre is small. We didn't make use of the kitchen or need to call customer service at any point as we didn't have any problems. The only constructive criticism I could offer would be the shower head in the bathroom could be replaced (it's not dirty but the paint is badly chipped so it looks dirty) also couple of touch ups to paintwork and ceilings - this is really nit picking. The mirror in the dressing area also needs to be lowered - it would be a great spot to do hair & makeup but it's height makes it impossible to sit and see in the mirror (silly easily fixed design flaw). We had a great stay and would definitely stay again if we return to York!

This accommodation has everything you require for a perfect City Break in York. 250m from the walls of York, 500m to York Minister, the Shambles and city centre. A variety of pubs and restaurants within the same range. The accommodation is outstanding. Modern in design, immaculately clean with every facility included; washing machine, dish washer and freezer. Beautiful bathroom with walk in rain shower. A beautiful welcome gift of Yorkshire goodies was a lovely touch. I’ve read a couple of negatives in previous reviews that didn’t affect us at all. Yes the property is on a busy road but we were never aware of traffic noise unless we looked or opened the window to the street. Another review said the property was too hot. The property has an excellent “ Hive system” and at the turn of a switch you have instant control. Two final comments. Stays York office is 250m from the property and open daily if you have any issues. If travelling by car, the property must have the most secure on site parking in York. It’s gated and controlled by a code pad. All instructions for your stay emailed in advance and easy to follow. Lift from ground floor to our apartment another bonus. This property I would recommended 100% to anyone wanting to visit the lovely city of York. Certainly spoilt us and we won’t be staying anywhere else on a repeat visit.

A brilliant and comfortable stay. Good location. A tiny tiny bit of wear and tear. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely apartment,well furnished,neat,clean and tidy. Good location as well.. In fact we parked the car and didn't use it for our duration.

The second I walked into this property I knew i had made a good decision to book it. It is immaculately clean and has absolutely everything you need for a pleasant visit. Take time to find out about the window opening devices to keep daytime temperatures down in the flat. The location is just about as perfect as you can get, right on the doorstep of the town through the city wall gate. Check in and out was simple and instructions given were clear to follow. A slight point of note is that there is some noticeable traffic noise throughout the night but not unbearable. Would I stay here again? I will be staying here again for certain! York is a beautiful city, the apartment is perfect. Thank you

Well appointed apartment. Very clean. Gift hamper was a lively touch.
Great location. Walking distance to city centre and attractions. Would definitely recommended.

Comfortable, clean, modern, homely.

This was the second time that we have stayed at this property and it was excellent again.

We’ve had a fantastic 3 night stay at this gem of a property, and wished that it was longer. It is exactly as it looks in the photos, and the hamper of treats was a lovely touch. The location is literally a few minutes walk to the Minster, and just round the corner from the hop on hop off bus, and the parking space is such a bonus. The apartment is beautiful, so well equipped and modern, peaceful yet close to everything. We will definitely be back!

The property is in a fantastic location, just outside the city walls. Having a private parking space and lift were very useful for unloading the car. The property is very well furnished, feels almost brand new and a luxurious space for a getaway. Kitchen is well equipped and stocked with essentials, everything we needed for dinners at the flat. There was an issue with the property on the first night which management were able to solve early the next morning. Overall an excellent property and I would stay again.

Beautiful apartment - felt very comfy and cosy and had everything we needed. It's a 1 minute walk to the city but feels very quiet and secure. A wonderful stay - and hamper treats very much appreciated!

The flat was absolutely perfect. Everything was as per the pictures. Very close to the city centre, easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Having parking on site was good and helpful. We would definitely recommend it.

This apartment is in a large old house on Bootham - done up to a very high standard with a lift. The apartment was excellent, with everything looking pretty new. Comfortable bed. Good rain shower.

Beautiful, spotless accommodation with everything you might need just a stone's throw from the centre of York.
Clear instructions for check in which made entry to the property easy to navigate. Great bonus of secure parking.
Introduction pack with instructions and recommendations for local attractions & restaurants/takeaways.
Comfortable bed & sofa.
Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great stay.

The apartment was just as the photos - stylishly furnished and well equipped. It has a dedicated parking space (though it's quite tight to get to if you had a large vehicle) and is a short walk to the centre of York. We really appreciated being able to relax at the apartment after a busy day, watching a film on Netflix, having a drink or cooking dinner, before going out again in the evening.

Absolutely lovely apartment in a great location, very quiet on an evening. View of the Museum Gardens from living room window. Lift to take you up to the apartment, very clean and excellent welcome hamper provided. Will definitely stay again.

We were very pleasantly surprised upon our arrival to discover that our apartment was fitted out and furnished very much as if we had bought a premium holiday home and prepared it for our own use. In a congested city it was great to have secure private parking to allow us to explore the city on foot and being only five minutes away from the Minster meant that everywhere could be explored on foot. Spotless cleanliness and a very generous welcome hamper made us feel that we had arrived in a place where great attention had been applied to ensure that we had a special stay. We stayed for five nights at a very reasonable price and enjoyed the property and its city views more as time went by.

Very modern apartment in a great location. Comfortable stay with the added bonus of free parking. Would stay there again.

A truly lovely apartment in an excellent secure location. It did get a bit hot in the bedroom as there is a skylight but leaving it open at night meant it was noisy. It was however immensely hot weather before we arrived and there are two tower fans that can be used. We had an issue where the shower didn't drain away and ended up sorting this out ourselves but we were reimbursed for the cost of the treatment we used. There were no washing machine instructions, nor instructions how to operate the blind in the bedroom but we managed to work these out and I have fed this back to Stays York. Also, if you are coming from the car park entrance you need to pull the door really hard to open it, once you have put the code in!

A lovely apartment just as all the pictures shows. Brilliant position, only a few minutes walk from everything in the centre. Spotlessly clean when we arrived, a nice welcome hamper with lovely goodies, king size bed very comfortable, shower extremely good, instructions were faultless all the way through. Handy supermarket literally over the road for croissants every morning! Good safe parking space (Volvo car size) next to apartment so no need to use the car whilst there. Lift up to apartment rather than take the stairs! Would definitely recommend the apartment as well as the stays york agency.

This is a lovely modern apartment renovated to a high standard. The apartment was clean and equipped with everything you need. Loved the Skylights bringing in natural light, the one in the bedroom has a remote control blind. Love the dressing area so handy just unpack and close the door on it. Location is perfect by the city centre with tourist attractions within minutes walking distance. It was lovely and quiet we couldn’t hear any of the neighbours. The free onsite gated secure car park is a bonus. The welcome hamper with treats were thoroughly enjoyed a special touch from the owners that was appreciated. Fantastic place and great service with good communication throughout the booking and answering any queries we had. We had a comfortable and cosy stay felt so relaxed and at home that we would return. Highly recommended.

The apartment is beautiful, well laid out and has everything you need for a short (or indeed longer!) break. Immaculately clean, in a great location, and a car parking space. Stays were excellent as well, and the welcome hamper was a wonderful touch. We'll stay again no question!

It’s a perfect stay. The location is perfect, situated at the city centre. The parking slot is also a plus to the stay. The kitchen is well equipped and I love how the light comes through the skylight windows to the loft during daytime, making our stay so comfortable. The place is so quiet and and newly renovated. Highly recommended!

Lovely apartment, clean and super modern. Very good location to the city centre. Highly recommend this place and would definitely return.

Very comfortable, spacious and well fitted modern apartment just outside the city walls with dedicated parking. Extremely convenient location within easy walking distance of all city attractions and railway station.

An amazing apartment. So close to the city and the parking was great. Incredibly well appointed and finished to a high standard. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous apartment! Great location, great facilities, perfect welcome - thank you. What a gem! This apartment was more than we could have hoped for - thank you! Location is great, with added bonus of private parking. So close to centre of York, literally 5minutes walk from the Minster. Lovely apartment with everything we could have wanted (and more). So comfortable, clean, modern with all amenities you could possibly need. Lovely touches from the owners - welcome hamper on arrival, and a hand written note from the owners with a welcome for us. Thank you so much, this made our visit to York special from the moment we arrived. We've visited York many times previously, but this apartment is without doubt at the top of our accommodations list. We will certainly look to book again on our next visit.

Fabulous apartment super handy for the Minster end of the city with private secure parking and all the mod cons. We chose the apartment as we wanted something with as many mod cons as home and a place close to the city centre. Apartment 11 didn’t disappoint. It felt good to be able to park inside a secure area and know we could come and go and still have a parking spot. The access was great with lift or stairs - just wish I’d seen the lift as we arrived instead of lugging everything up lots of stairs - no one to blame for that than myself! We loved the living and dining space and found the kitchen facilities were great to prepare food and stay in. The bathroom and shower facilities were great - the only thing we found was that on the final day it was much warmer in there so perhaps we hadn’t got the underfloor / towel rail heating quite right whilst we were there, but again we could have asked us it bothered us. The bedroom and dressing area were really well thought out and it was nice to close the dressing area off. We have a heat recovery system at home and can boost or leave it on low - even though there were instructions we did find the humming in the bedroom slightly annoying so again I think we didn’t have this quite right but obviously we slept well in-spite of it so didn’t enquire whilst we were there. The owners have pitched things really well as they also left a lovely little hamper which to be fair when you’re paying those prices is welcome so there is fresh coffee, a glass of fizz and a few treats. We will definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Lovely and luxurious place to stay! Perfect location. There was secure parking. The apartment was modern, clean and comfortable. Milk, sugar, tea etc. was provided along with a hamper or treats and a bottle of fizz. It was a real treat!

Lovely new modern apartment, spotlessly clean and very secure. Parking a big bonus. Very central.

Excellent stay in apartment 11. Loved the cleanliness of the apartment and the surroundings. Absolutely spotless. The facilities in the apartment were excellent.

I would have no hesitation recommending this apartment for your stay in York . It is spotlessly clean, beautifully presented throughout and easily accessible to all amenities. I look forward to returning in the near future.

What can I say but a great apartment, very clean, very comfortable. Close to town just park your car up in a gated car park, so you don't have to worry about parking. Easy to book and pay for, Stay York was great, very helpful lovely ladies. Would use again Thank you for a lovely weekend
