123 Nunnery Lane

We had a good stay at Nunnery Lane, restaurants just below the apartment and a Sainsbury’s Local were very handy. Stays York were excellent and very responsive to our queries before we arrived and the apartment was as described. It’s nice when everything works smoothly!

We‘ve been coming to 123 Nunnery Lane for a few years as we love the location and layout of the apartment. It‘s only a short walk into York centre and on lively Bishy Road with all the independent shops, cafés and restaurants. The apartment is bright and modern and has almost everything one needs for a holiday. However, over time the quality of the cleaning has declined and the apartment is in need of a proper deep clean. Kitchen equipment is decent but could do with stocking up, for instance glasses. We asked in advance for two duvets to be provided as I co-sleep with our 1-year-old and my husband slept on the sofa bed. I asked for a confirmation via email twice but then upon arrival only the main bed was made and we had to search the entire apartment for the second duvet, which we then found in the downstairs cupboard, dumped on the floor next to the cleaning equipment. A few previous reviews mentioned this too, so it‘s a shame this isn‘t picked up with those who prepare the apartment for guests.

This accommodation was spacious, comfortable and had a well-equipped kitchen as well. It has shops nearby for groceries as well as a number of local restaurants.

Weekend treat for my partner of 23 years. She was blown away at how nice and moden the accommodation was. There was a few crumbs around the dinning table and the sofa in the living room seemed very dusty so triggered a dust allergy. The bed was very comfortable but would say. Maybe to soft. To lay down on the bed, felt like you was sinking. Pillows had a musky smell. The bathroom the seemed to be an ongoing issue under the toilet slight leak. Toilet & seat quite small. Sky light can't be opened as adjoining properties windows overlook bathroom. Was rudly awakened Friday morning at 640am to the window cleaner. As I have PTSD this then triggered me all morning. 3 nights with lake of sleep takes its toll. Street noise. From traffic and drunken passers-by till all hrs 4.30am being the earliest woken by 3 men shouting outside the accommodation

This was our third stay at the property. A very comfortable and well equipped apartment, perfectly located for the independent shops and restaurants of “Bishy” Road. It isn’t far from the train station or the centre of the City either. The bedroom is spacious and the bed very comfortable - though we had a rude awakening very early one morning when the window cleaner turned up unexpectedly! We appreciated having the option of a bath or shower, plus there is a washing machine - useful for longer stays. Internet is provided, but I wouldn’t recommend it for streaming or making video calls. All in all, a great home from home in York. I’m sure we’ll be back again soon.

We have stayed in this apartment a number of times and it's like coming home, we love it! Fab location, quiet on an evening, short walk to centre of York. Will be booking again soon definitely.

This was our second stay at 123 Nunnery Lane, which is well located for seeing our family who live in York. It is next to Bishopthorpe Road, which has a great collection of independent shops and eateries as well as a couple of convenience stores. Rowntree park is just down the road, There is no parking at the property, but it isn’t too far from a car park. We didn’t use the car all week as we walked into York every day - a pleasant 10-15 minutes to the centre. It is an easy walk from the railway station. The flat is stylishly decorated and there was plenty of room for the two of us. The bedroom is huge and we found the bed very comfortable. Nice to have the choice of a bath or shower too. Although the flat is generally well equipped, there was no fan. The flat got very hot when the temperature rose (it hit 28 degrees centigrade outside for for a couple of days during our stay). The windows only open a few centimetres for safety reasons, so it didn’t really cool down overnight. I sent a couple of emails to the letting agent asking about a fan during our stay, but didn’t receive a reply. The wifi is a little slow too. However, we would definitely stay here again. It is a lovely property.

Absolutely love staying here, already booking for next visit. Close to many independent shops and cafes.

Brilliant!! Fantastic little apartment. Everything high spec & worked perfectly. Spotlessly clean. Easy walk to city or station. Quiet road.

Fantastic apartment in a vibrant area. The apartment was fantastic, clean and comfy, equipped with everything you need and even a little welcome hamper! Super comfy bed and pillows, modern furniture and straight forward instructions. It‘s a short walk from the train station and on lively Bishy Road, which is full of independent shops, restaurants and breakfast cafes, so popular that people queued here on the weekend. Short walk into York centre as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Amazing location - right on Bishy Road. Multiple restaurants, pubs and cafes on your doorstep. City centre is within 10 minutes walking distance. River Ouse invites for a weekend stroll all the way up to the York Racecourse.

great break in a great city. apartment provided everything we needed and in a great wee neighbourhood. compact but with everything you need.

A nice Apartment but just too loud in the evening with people and cars passing by in the early hours if the morning.

Glad you liked the apartment. Sorry to hear you found it noisy in the evenings. I don't think this has come up at all in the past few years so can only assume you've been very unlucky with an isolated incident. Hope to see you in York again soon :)

We absolutely loved staying here and it felt like home! We would love to visit again. The location near to the train station and centre, the hub of Bishopthorpe Road with its bars, restaurants and shops, the modern flat with its unique layout, the beautiful dual aspect bedroom, the cleanliness, the standard of provisions like bedding, towels, crockery and cutlery. Superb.

So good, I'm staying again in a few weeks time! Location is excellent - close to train station. Surrounded by excellent independent businesses and only a short walk into city centre. Very clean and well designed apartment.

A fantastic self catering apartment, clean and comfortable, top marks! A fantastic apartment in a close proximity to York city centre. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. No issues with check in, the apartment was furnished to a very high standard. Also loved the "Bishy Road" area, small independent shops & cafes on the door step. There is no parking at the property but public car park was about 3-4 minutes walk away so again, very convenient. Also a very good value for money, it looked better in real life than on the photos! We would happily stay there again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place to anyone looking for a self catering option in York!

We could happily live here. Beautiful apartment, very quiet in evening, fabulous little street of independent shops, 5-7 minutes walk to centre of York. Will definitely stay again.

Wow. Just wow !! What did I like about the property ? Where to start!! Absolutely everything. The location is perfect. A short lovely walk into the city centre to the left. Shops and eateries to the right. And a pub over the road . Cheap car park 200 yards away And that’s before you walk through the door. Once inside it’s spotlessly clean and the quality of the finishes is fantastic (I work in interiors so know where to look) Big comfy bed, spacious bedroom, beautiful kitchen, amazing bathroom .... I really can’t compliment this apartment enough.

“What a wonderful find! Beautiful and stylish apartment, lots of space and very cosy. Perfect location for us with just a short walk into York centre. Fantastic communication and even a call before we arrived to check we had all the information we needed. Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend”

Sparkling clean, great location. Perfect place for any length of stay.

“This is a really nice, cozy place in a prime location. Right in front of a top restaurant, where you can go all day for coffee, cake, drink, snack and dinner, accessible and cozy. In the street several wonderful places for breakfast and lunch and several shops, you would not have to leave the street, but also the center of York is within walking distance. The apartment itself is spacious, neat, spotless, atmospheric, light and just very nice. Bluetooth radio available, nice bathroom, kitchen with everything you need, comfortable couch. The only minor downside is that it is on a busy road where many cars pass by. You can hear that well, but we didn't bother it at night, our little one who also slept during the day either. We have not noticed anything about any guests who leave the restaurant late. ” (translated from Dutch)
