Some guests mention minor maintenance issues and suggest improvements for even greater comfort, but overall experiences are very positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Reviews frequently highlight the property's cleanliness, with mentions of it being 'immaculately clean' and having 'lovely bedding and towels'. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness throughout.

The central location and proximity to local amenities and restaurants are highly appreciated by guests, with the added bonus of breathtaking views, making the location almost perfect.

The property is described as comfortable and cosy, with quality bedding and a homely atmosphere. Some guests note that additional comfortable seating could enhance the living space, and one bedroom is mentioned as being colder, slightly affecting the comfort score.

The apartment is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests feel at home. However, there are comments about minor maintenance issues like a loose stair tread and a shower temperature problem, which slightly lower the score.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately.

    We had a marvellous time.

    The views from all windows were wonderful so despite the bad weather ,didn’t feel locked away.The beds were comfortable and the bedding of a very good quality.We were surprised that the towels included bath sheets ,these are usually bath towels, much smaller. In all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at York House ,and hope to come back again, despite the 40 stairs !

    It is in an excellent location with great views in two directions and lots to see. Almost too good to be true. The accommodation was second to none and it 'made' our holiday. Very much hope we can come back sometime.
