Even better still, the famous York Minster (the cathedral) is just beyond these City Walls plus the rest of the tourist attractions, restaurants and shops etc.
Bootham Bar is the gateway to the famous narrow cobbled streetsof York. Full of a quirky mix of curio shops and cafes with street entertainers, the Shambles and various Museums, The Yorvik Viking Centre and so much more is within a short distance. In fact Minster House really is a perfect combination of an excellent base for high quality family accommodation and Location, Location, Location.

A great house which had everything we needed with plenty of room for everyone ( although the rooms and bathroom on the second floor are very small). The indoor hot tub was well used. The proximity of the house to the Minster and city is brill just a short walk away.
We would definitely use again.

A short walk to the centre of York
A lovely house set within 10 minutes walk to the centre of York. Large, warm and cosy with ample space for 6 adults and 5 children. We've all had a magical time and we intend returning in the future
Thank you Janet

Good location ideal for large well behaved group
Minster house is well located in a residential street about 10minute walk from York centre. With 6 bedrooms it was ideal for us a group of 7 meaning most of us had our own room. We did panic a bit on arrival as ther didn’t appear to be any towels as shown on the photos but there is a large linen cupboard on the first floor landing packed with towels. The bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor are ideal. 2 of us were in the attic twin which is nice but I kept banging my head on the sloping ceiling every time I retrieved anything from the set of drawers also the shower room is tiny. The fixed shower head means you have to keep one door closed when getting in the shower or it will flood the floor. And I had to get dried in the shower as there wasn’t enough room to get dried outside the shower. I had to dry my legs and feet in the bedroom as no room to bend down. It was however better than having to run downstairs to use the loo. The kitchen is amazing and very well stocked with cutlery and crockery.

Nigh on purfick!
I rented this property for a family holiday, 9 of us aged 8 – 65. From the start I was very impressed with Janet’s clear method of arranging my rental and her provision of extra information.
The property served us all very well and all facilities provided were much appreciated as was the fresh milk left for us upon arrival in the fridge.
York is a wonderful historic city and we enjoyed our wanderings and (of course) our trip to the National Rail Museum (again).
Thank you Janet.

Fantastic stay! Could not have been better!
We stayed st minster house as a base in York to explore the city and also go to the races. I really could not fault this house! It is very spacious even with 12 adults staying. All bedrooms are beautiful and the whole house was spotless. Our whole party thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
I cannot reccomend this house highly enough. The location was perfect (5 mins walk to the city walls and centre of York) with a sainsburys local, pubs, restaurants and bakery all on the doorstep.
Thanks so much! We will be back!

Excellent Location for City Centre
The house was very clean and comfortable and well equipped. York is a short walk away so well placed for access to the city centre. Everyone enjoyed the stay at the house and the city. The only improvements would be to update the 2 smaller showers. Replace the flush valve in the top floor toilet or descale the existing unit to prevent the issue with the water constantly running. This can easily be stopped as directed by the note on the wall but young children did not fully understand. An HD TV with full sky package would also be ideal but did not detract from our enjoyment in this lovely home. .

York is an all year round place to visit. It is a haven of tourist attractions suitable for adults and children alike many of which are under cover making it an ideal family holiday what ever the British weather throws at us!
York is known as a 'City of Festivals', the list is endless (google 'York Festivals' for more details). Examples include Festivals for Food and Drink, Science, Vikings, Dance, Ebor (racing) and various Christmas festivals
Attractions include : The Minster, numerous Museums (including The National Railway Museum and Castle Museums), Jorvik Centre, York Dungeon, York Ghost Tours, Horse and Cart Rides, Tour Buses and the historic city walls.
If you like shopping then York has a varied selection of designer shops and boutiques. Regular themed markets are held in the square and then at night York comes into it's own with more tourist events, bars, night clubs and eating places to suit every style and pocket
