Peckitt Street - Motte & Bailey

Excellent one bedroom apartment in the centre of York. Comfortable bed, lovely lounge/kitchen area and a modern bathroom. The kerb appeal would be even better than it is if the weeds were cleared.

My wife and I were stoked with Motte & Bailey. Couldn't have picked a better location for our week-long stay in York during Halloween season. It's footsteps away from all the action, but still a nice quiet retreat with a great view down Clifford Street. Kitchen had all the basics you need to cook simple meals. Bedroom was nice and big, bathroom was modern and clean, heating was easy to control and kept the place warm. The only downside was that there is a sensor light in the hallway and you can't turn it off - it pretty much stayed on 24/7. Not a huge issue, but slightly annoying that you couldn't sneak to the bathroom at night without getting blasted by this bright LED light. Hopefully they just change it to a regular light with a switch.

We stayed at this place for work, the place it self is lovely, all new and freshly refurbished with lovely neutral decor, original wooden floors, underfloor bathroom heated floors etc etc However the place it self is located next door to two nightclubs which kick out at 4am on Fridays and Saturdays, there was a lot of extra noise/police sirens etc etc at 4am which was really disturbing. The persons staying in the fly above also have wooden flooring so if they get up at any point to use the bathroom in the middle of the night everyone in the middle floor knows about it! Which is a shame as I think a bit of underlay and carpet would fix this problem but the company seemed more interested in sending emails to current tenant when I fed this back to them. The place is cleaned by an external company which is doing OK but have missed a few places and despite it being new the place has started to look a little grubby. We reported all these things back but the lady who mailed back didn’t seem interested and gave me the managers email if I wanted to complain more - I didn’t want to complain I just wanted to give them the feedback that other guests might be disturbed by the same things! There is also a motion sensor light in the hallway that comes on and lights up the bedroom, the sitting room And the bathroom when you make even a slight movement in one of the rooms! I couldn’t figure out how the sensor worked - it came on when you turned over in bed!!!! Anyway if you’re hard of hearing or a dead heavy sleeper you’ll love this place. If not - book lady peck it street - their property there was faultless.

The location was perfect. The apartment was clean and spacious. We really enjoyed our stay.
