Fantastic stay at Clifford's View, Ryedale House, booked through Stays York. We are returning customers, having stayed in Ryedale House several times. This was our first time in the Clifford's View apartment and it didn't disappoint. The apartment is well equipped with everythig you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc which was great after a long day of sightseeing when we just wanted to relax in the evening, rather than go out to eat. With a variety of local supermarkets including a huge M&S foodhall nearby it was easy to pick up essentials. Super comfortable beds guaranteed a great night sleep, so we were well rested each day for a new adventure. The location is really convenient with only a short walk to all the main attractions, but it feels peaceful away from the hustle and bustle. Our balcony view of Clifford's Tower overlooking the river below was a highlight. The apartment is on the 5th floor with lift or stair access, giving fantastic views across to the tower from the lounge and balcony. It was lovely to watch the skyline at night looking over the rooftops. Booking through Stays York was easy with great communication. We had a slight blip with not receiving our check in details until we contacted Stays York on the day of arrival, but this was immediately rectified. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay Thank you for providing fans - very welcome We had a lovely view overlooking the river We will be back

In general, we were satisfied with the stay. There were just not enough kitchen utensils and no vacuum cleaner for cleaning.

We were in York for a family lunch in Walmgate, so the location could hardly have been better. This apartment was a distinctive and memorable place to stay. The flat is a good size for two, and we managed to host a small tea party after our event, although a few more cups and mugs would have made it easier. The view across the Foss is better than the view into it, and the balcony is a nice feature, although you do have sit right at one end to see Clifford’s Tower past the wall of the Castle Museum opposite. The real surprise-and-delight is the big sliding window in the living room. Arrival instructions were clear and easy, as we’ve come to expect from Stays York - although there are so many key safes in the lobby that finding the right one took a little while. We appreciated the dedicated parking space, although manoeuvring even our 4.0m-long car around the many pillars was a challenge. A full-size family car would be a real struggle and there are a lot of scuffs on the pillars to show the problems other drivers have had! The kitchen is easy to use and the bathrooms are comfortable, although we found the combination of a high dinner-plate shower head and a half-width glass screen made it hard to keep water from splashing on to the floor. But the apartment deserves a recommendation, expensive as it is. And we can thoroughly recommend the French food at the Chopping Block in Walmgate, three minutes away.
