2 bedroom Apartment - Fossgate Bridge York
The location was perfect, easy to find and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Boutique York City Centre Studio-Free Parking inc
We had a great stay at the appartement. Great for a weekend trip. Is on the ground floor and has a step free side entrance that’s accessible for wheelchair users. Lovely location next to the river. Would definitely stay again!

3 Bedroom Superior Sea View
I would throughly recommend this fantastic apartment, parking and check in was easy and the apartment luxurious and spacious. Views stunning.

Modern & spacious harbour-view apartment & parking
This is a comfortable flat with lovely views over the river Esk. Easy to walk into the centre of Whitby with plenty of pubs and restaurants close by. It was well equipped, clean and tidy. We really enjoyed our stay.

Seabreeze flat- 2 min walk to the North beach.
It was as a lively place to stay, flat was clean and airy and felt like home. Beach and promenade a stones throw away and a nice walk to harbour. Easy access to Bempton Cliffs

A lovely York City centre apartment on the river.
Wow what a fantastic apartment, right in the heart of the city! We were able to walk to all the main attractions we wanted to see - nowhere was more than 5 minutes away. Chris was super-helpful and we could tell he wanted us to enjoy our stay, and communication was great from the moment we booked to the time we left. The apparemtment itself was comfortable for our family of four, with all the facilities we needed. We had a lovely view of the river and the Merchant Adventurers Hall and we enjoyed relaxing in such a quiet environment. I would highly recommend this accommodation for anyone visiting York. Thank you Chris, we loved our stay and hope to be back again one day!

“The Look Out” Characterful apart, harbour views
I had a lovely stay at The Look Out! The location is great - it’s just down the road from the 199 steps, as well as plenty of shops, pubs, cafes and of course fish & chips! Andrea was always quick to respond to queries and even reached out to check I’d settled in OK. This was a lovely, cosy place to return to after a long day exploring, with fabulous views of the harbour. If (when) I return to Whitby I’ll definitely book to stay again!

City Centre Riverside Apartment
we had a taxi from the train station to the apartment and I'm glad we did as it may have been difficult to locate it. But once there and familiarisedcwith the location, we realised how easy and walkable into town it was. The Shambles being the first place of interest. the apartment itself was beautifully done in a Art Deco style with everything provided that we needed. Clean, tidy and well presented and at the end of the day when we had walked our feet off, we walked back and rested in comfort with a bottle of something, and a fat rascal from Betty's (it would be rude not to!) There were a few codes needed to gain access but we soon got used to those. I have been to York many times over the years and will never tire of it and the apartment is easy walking distance to everything and we walked back to the station for our journey home. i would definitely stay there again on my next visit to York.
Waterfront house rentals

The Boiling House, Beckside
We had a wonderful stay at the Boiling House. The house has a lovely homely feel, was well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. David was a really welcoming host, giving us a quick tour of the house before leaving us to it. The bottle of Prosecco was a well appreciated touch! We'd love to return. Thank you David!

Old WatchHouse spacious seaviews
Had a lovely stay at the Old Watch House. Great views of the harbour. Staithes is a beautiful place. You do need to be fit to handle the hill out of the village and also paths around the village itself to get the best out of the area. Of the house itself it was everything we needed the only thing I would ask is that Clare considers replacing the sofas in the sitting room. Well used and quite uncomfortable after a short period of time in them. However the house was clean and well appointed. Bathrooms were lovely and clean and modern. We were very happy with the booking and house. We had a lovely family holiday with our teenage kids.

Stunning sea views!
We had such a restful stay, felt right at home the minute we walked in. The views were stunning and really allowed you to relax.

Hunroe Brow
Wow! What an amazing place this is. Just as seen on the pictures. Beautifully furnished, the hosts have thought of everything you might need for your stay. The location is right on the beach with access to Filey and other places only a short drive away. Vanda is a great host. She was really flexible with our requests for extra time to check out and responds quickly. We will be back!

Classic Riverside Townhouse in city centre
This is a wonderful rental property. It is perfectly situated on the river but only a very short walk from the centre of York. The property is beautiful inside- spacious bedrooms with lovely antique furniture in all the rooms. The kitchen is very well equipped with absolutely everything you could think of. The hosts were exceptionally helpful and kindly left us chocolates , wine and fresh flowers!! This is a wonderful property!

The Boat House - Powder Monkey
We had a lovely stay in monkeypowder. We loved the layout with the bedrooms downstairs and living area on the ground floor. The living room has great sea views and an area to sit and lookout. There is a huge comfortable sofa and great wallpaper of a view of Scarborough. The kitchen is modern and well equipped and a great space to enjoy a meal together. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and a modern ensuite. The apartment was spotlessly clean and we loved the quirky furniture. Free parking was a bonus and a great location to explore Scarborough.

Cosy 2 bedroom river/coastal retreat in whitby
Lovely, cozy little place in a nice, peaceful location with convenient walking access to Whitby via the Cinder Trail, and a very short drive from local Supermarket. We appreciated the pool. We also enjoyed ducks wandering around the site, and hearing the hoot of an owl in the evening.

Sea View 5 Bedroom Holiday Let on the Yorks Coast
What an amazing place! We stayed with extended family and loved the open plan area so we could all be together, but also the quieter snug area with real fire. Rooms were very well presented, some with spectacular views. The property is in a quiet area but just a short drive to shops and petrol station. Runswick Bay and Sandsend are two of our favourite spots for walking and just a few minutes drive away. We all loved this property and hoping to book again for next year. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Belemnite Cottage -harbourside in heart of Whitby
It’s a great place to stay and so close to all amenities including public transport. Once inside away from the crowds it was peaceful with a great view of the river

Beautiful Sea Views. Whitby location, near beach
Fantastic location. Easy walk into the town centre but, far enough away to avoid any noise. Perfect location for attending events at the Pavilion. The apartment is very comfortable with plenty of room. The apartment / towels / Bed Linen were spotless. The Information Pack was very useful. The Host, Amanda was brilliant, very helpful. Communication was excellent with timely reminders for Key Codes etc.

LoveYork | Penthouse Riverside Apt | Free Parking
Fantastic place! We were planning to stay just one day in York, but I found this flat and decided to go for two nights. beautiful flat, awesome view, close to train station and city centre. William Morris ❤ Hope to come back one day

The Captains Quarters
Another lovely stay at Captains Quarters. The view is amazing.

The Botanist's Hideout - Luxury Retreat + Parking
A lovely place to stay in York. Very good location for walking into the city centre easily.

Hayburn Cottage, a countryside haven
We had a lovely 3 night stay with our toddler. The view is beautiful! The house had everything we needed and was spotless. We took a walk to find the waterfall and although very steep it didn’t take too long, even with a 20 month old in tow. The pub down the hill was also very lovely. The nearest shop was about a 10 minute drive away but wasn’t a problem. We visited Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hood’s bay. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful scenic stay :)
