Is there a better location to stay in York? Probably not.

Bishophill is one of the best neighbourhoods in the city due to it`s proximity to the city centre. Even though it`s so close (only 10 minutes walk) it`s just off the beaten track and away from the noise and bustle.

The house is just inside York`s medieval city walls. This means you can easily climb the nearby steps and walk on the walls around to Micklegate, or further on to York Railway Station and into the city.

Some of York`s best restaurants and cafes are close by on Bishopthorpe `Bishy` Road and Micklegate.

Bishopthorpe `Bishy` Road is a perfect example of a local high street with a strong independent identity. It has everything you`ll need during your stay including restaurants, cafes, pubs, bakeries, hairdressers, butchers and even a hardware store!

Micklegate leads you into the city centre and again has some great cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars, and independent shops. Partisan, Rattle Owl and Skosh are all highly recommended places to eat during your visit.
