Welcome to The Dukes Townhouse. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of York City Centre, which is only a 5 minute's walk away, sat in a leafy street in York, this beautiful Victorian Townhouse has recently been renovated into 5 fabulous 1 bedroom apartments. All have access to unlimited super-fast WIFI and have been fully furnished with your comfort and enjoyment in mind.
On entering through the front door you are immediately drawn in via the beautiful hallway, with both original York stone floors and staircase. You will find The Grand situated on the first floor. This beautiful one bedroom apartment is bright and airy and is designed to provide a comfortable base from which to explore the delights of York.
The decor has been carefully chosen to provide that touch of luxury, whilst also being totally in keeping with the building. You have a stunning open plan living area, with sofas that you can snuggle down into whilst watching a movie, or enjoying a chilled bottle of something lovely! The kitchen is fully fitted and has everything you will need, right down to the wine fridge and the DeLonghi coffee machine. The breakfast bar by the window provides the perfect spot to sit and chat, or look out onto the quiet leafy street and watch the world go by.
There is a wet room complete with walk in shower and underfloor heating. A lovely sized bedroom complete with a king-size bed is perfect after a long day out exploring the City of York, or after an evening of eating and drinking at the many many different venues that make York the perfect place for a city break. The apartment is only a 5 minute walk from the York Art Gallery and another 3 minutes to the steps of the world famous York Minster and only a five minute walk over the bridge from the station.

Freezing in nice apartment in York
9 February 2025
We arrived to the apartment a bit after 13:00 and could get in immediately because we were one day late due to a cancelled flight. The apartment looked very nice as on the pictures, but we immediately noticed that it was very cold. We realised that this was because the thermostat was set on 14,5 degrees. We were not familiar with the termostat, but tried to turn up the heating, which also came on, but then was set back to 14,5 degrees at regular intervals. At a point of time the termostat also requested a PIN code. We were already by then in contact with StaysYork, who did not know the PIN code but explained that the owner of the apartment controlled the heating regime remotely... While increasing the temperature setting whenever we discovered it had been automatically turned down, the temperature slowly raised to 16-17 degrees, and we started to look for other accommodation as this wasn't pleasant at all. We were in contact with StaysYork several times, also via their emergency telephone number, and it has to be said that they were absolutely helpful. By the end of the second day they brought us a portable heater, and that made the difference. Not nice to listen to a fan and it should not be necessary, but from then on we were able to enjoy our stay, the nice apartment and the good location. Thumbs up for StaysYork, though they could have checked the temperature before the start of our stay. And the opposite for the owner, who let us arrive to 14,5 degrees and spend time and effort trying to get a normal temperature as you would expect when you have paid for an accommodation.
Short break in November

Excellent location. Good space well decorated and clean. However noise From floor above late at night and early morning was disturbing and the heating was inadequate for the property in the cold conditions we encountered during our stay. Greater instruction on recycling bins would have been helpful
An Apartment where design and style was chosen over practicality and comfort
20 October 2024
The apartment was exactly like the photos on the website. However although it looked very presentable it was in no respect cosy and welcoming. This was primarily because the floors were all wood with the exception of a small rug in the lounge area. It was also apparent that the floors of the apartment above were not carpeted because the sound of people walking around was quite significant. When the blinds at the windows were open during the day there was no feeling of privacy which was particularly evident in the bedroom. The shower in the bathroom worked very well but the gap at the bottom of the glass screen allowed water to run directly on to rest of the bathroom floor. The bathroom sink and stand looked good but the lack of surface to put things down made it difficult to use as did the wobbly tap. The bedroom was sparsely furnished yet there was nowhere to place a suitcase other than on the floor. When staying in this apartment for a few nights these problems are worth putting up with because of its location close to the centre of York.
Elegant and comfortable in a great location.

This is a beautiful apartment with elegant decor whilst also feeling comfortable . Its in a great location for exploring York , yet the apartment feels tucked away and quiet .

We have stayed in many places around York but this was our favourite so far. The decor and style was very nicely done and the bed was really comfy. The hosts made it very easy checking in and out and even messaged us 4 hours before our check in to let us know it’s ready if we want to check in early which is a nice touch. If we are ever back in York this will be our pick again
Great location for exploring York City Center

Loved this property. Had some issues with the programmed thermostat. The owner of the unit actually came over to address it in minutes. Safe and secure neighborhood and building. A saintsberry (spelling?) close by to pick up groceries. Pubs nearby. Will stay here again.
Lovely property

We really enjoyed a 4 night stay here, the apartment was elegantly furnished with lots of nice touches. Easy to walk in to the centre of York and parking nearby. The only negative was that the apartment didn't feel particularly warm, I guess being an older property.

The apartment is stunning , the hosts have thought of everything you might need for your stay and it’s so comfortable. You have everything on your doorstep, just 5 mins from the Shambles .
Second stay here
10 October 2023
This was my second stay in Duke's townhouse. I love the building and the location. Always v clean with a great welcome pack. The only thing that bothered me this time as that I was in the Grand and not the one at the top, and because there are no carpets in the bedrooms I did get quite disturbed by people upstairs coming in late when I was trying to sleep Saturday night. I'm not sure the windows are double glazed and a car left both mornings at 7am and sounded quite loud. But I would definitely stay again is I could either go in the basement or at the top!

Everything is excellent. No wonder it will be the first choice if I go to York again
Amazing flat, very comfortable and good location

Loved the place as soon as I walked through the front door to the building. Beautifully maintained and lovely decoration. Quick walk into the city across the gardens. Perfect, highly recommend.
Good location, nice decor

Excellent communication, Fantastic location in York. Very quiet but also near to the Minster and the pretty side of York. Nice decor. Tasty snacks and drinks provided in a hamper. Extremely minor points, perhaps expresso rather than filter coffee would be good in the hamper to match the coffee maker provided and some cleaning spray and cloths for wiping up would be nice. We really enjoyed stay.

Absolutely fantastic stay. They provide a welcome hamper with Prosecco included, made it feel like the most wonderful romantic weekend in York with all of the beautiful decor and extras. Very walkable from the accommodation to central York, lots to do and see. It was the cherry on top of a wonderful weekend and would recommend this place to anyone. Looking forward to staying at one of the hosts other locations if we get the chance.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!

Amazing apartment, so comfortable and incredibly stylish. We loved the thoughtful touches and the decor! It is lovely and quiet whilst being really close to all the sights and the bed was amazing! One of the best apartments weve stayed in and would highly recommend stay in The Grand.

We stayed in The Grand for 2 nights during a little festive getaway to York. The decor of the apartment was beautiful and modern instantly upon walking in, and we were pleasantly welcomed by an arrival pack of tea, coffee and other snacks. The open plan kitchen and living room area is a highlight of the property, filled with all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The bed also is a good size and extremely comfortable along with the bathroom facilities. All in all, The Grand is the perfect little spot in York if you’re after a cute, romantic getaway for two.
Amazing

Great location with walking distance to the town & train station. Apartment had everything you need for your break. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch, also the welcome hamper was the best Ive seen.
The Grand
4 December 2022
The apartment certainly lived up to its name! In a fabulous location, close enough to everything yet just far enough to be in a very quiet location. The apartment was furnished and finished to an extremely high standard, with not one thing being forgotten, with a few extras supplied - including a decorated and lit Christmas tree! We are already looking forward to our return.
Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our time at dukes townhouse. Beautiful well equipped kitchen, lovely decor Wonderful power shower. Comfortable sofa. We would highly recommend this property. The only slight niggle was that the townhouse didnt have a parking space and it was a long walk from the car park
Perfect

Beautiful accommodation, ideal location, very central. Could not ask for more. Easy booking process, and easy to contact staff with queries.
Stunning

We absolutely loved staying at The Grand at Dukes Town House. It is so stylish, comfortable and well planned. From the crisp white sheets to the opulent bathroom, the clean lines of the kitchen and the panelling, it was relaxing and luxurious. A great advantage was the parking at Marygate car park close by and a short stroll to york centre. Fabulous location and place.
