Towns in City of York

City of York

The city is steeped in history and a visit wouldn’t be complete without a walk around the medieval city walls or a visit to the magnificent York Minster where you can even climb up one of the spires if you’ve got a head for heights! On an evening there are so many great bars and restaurants to discover, from the mouth-watering fine dining food served by Tommy Banks and his team at his York outpost Roots to the more casual, relaxed street food offerings at SPARK.

Our beautiful holiday properties close to the City make the ideal base from which you can explore the historic city of York as well as the surrounding countryside whilst enjoying all the creature comforts (and a few extra luxury touches too!) our portfolio of properties are known for.

All the properties within the Beautiful Escapes portfolio are selected, by our team of perfectionists, to ensure that they meet our exacting standards so that every guest knows that when they stay in a Beautiful Escapes holiday home they can expect a consistent and high level of quality and finish.

We also offer a personal concierge service to all our guests so that you have all the information you need to help you have the best time before, during and after your stay.
