Number 41 is a great property. The location is very close to the city and due to the closeby bishopthorpe road you have bars, restaurants and shops around the corner. Its a 15-20 min walk to the train station and into the centre of town. A 5 min walk to the bishopthorpe park which is great for kids and dogs or just a nice walk by the river.

This was a great cottage in a fantastic location, easy walking distance to the city and with the added bonus of the shops, cafes etc on Bishy road. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. The heating was a bonus on an unseasonably cold week. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again

It was a lovely house and really nicely decorated. The little touches were really welcoming. It was central to the city centre and was around a 20 minute walk. There were shops around a 3 minute walk away. This includes a bakery and restaurants. The property was clean and had all of the necessities that you would need.
