A proposito di questa casa struttura in affitto
THE BOOKCLUB
This property has been sympathetically renovated to retain the character and history of the original well-loved book shop, The Bookclub is a unique place to stay in the heart of the City. The original book shop, Stone Trough Books, was run by the late bookseller and publisher George Ramsden for over 30 years. A true character who made the headlines back in 2006 when his collection of books by American author Edith Wharton was sold (reportedly worth millions). The bookshop was also featured in the star-studded film 'Mad to be Normal' back in 2016 where scenes were shot inside. The film starred former Doctor Who actor David Tennant as well as Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaids Tale), Sir Michael Gambon and Gabriel Byrne.
Every thought has been given to the comfort and enjoyment of the guests. Sharon McDonagh, the interior designer on this project, has given a great deal of thought to everything that has gone into the property. Sharon already has her own property with Stays York - The Arthouse - so she has a great understanding of what makes a memorable City break or holiday in York. Both 5 Precentors Court and The Smithy, are also part of the same group of fantastic properties. Again providing a great understanding of what it takes to make your time in York as comfortable as possible.
As you walk into the property you step into a fabulous living area, with a seating area and smart TV, bookshelf (books provided of course!), artwork on the walls and quirky signs, you immediately feel like you have booked something special.
In the lower ground floor you are then treated to the perfect space to kick back, relax and listen to one of the many great albums provided on the vintage record player or play the retro video games console. Or even just to take in your favourite show on the smart TV. Whatever you decide to do with your time in this fantastic property, you know that you are there to relax and enjoy.
On the first floor is the master bedroom - Designed for comfort - complete with a king size bed, double ended bath and walk in shower - it provides a level of luxury equivalent to any high end hotel.
Back on the ground floor you have a fully equipped kitchen, including a Nespresso machine and breakfast bar - however as Walmgate is awash with fantastic place to eat and drink you may never need to use the kitchen!
The kitchen leads to the rear of the property which has a table and chairs, ideal for when you wish to dine "al fresco" . Looking over you will see a signpost to "The Naughty Corner" follow this and you will discover yet another cosy out door area - perfect for enjoying morning coffee or pre dinner drinks in your own private space.
THE BOOK CLUB is something very special - just for 2. Outdoor Space, Central Location and Private Parking. The Perfect Treat for when you visit York - unlike any other English city. With thirty world-class museums to explore, the best racecourse in the country and a thriving cultural scene - not forgetting, York is voted the best place to live in the UK by the Sunday Times, you have the perfect combination.
Please note that the parking space for the property is in a private garage. If you have a larger car it may not fit. The dimensions of the garage are as below:
1.97 Meters Height
2.15 Meters Width

This was our second stay here, which speaks volumes about how well-located and enjoyable the property is. Its position in York is excellent, with most attractions within a 10-minute walk, and the included parking is a real bonus given how expensive parking can be in the city.
Unfortunately, the bed is extremely soft—too soft even for someone who prefers a softer mattress—and we didn’t get a good night’s sleep. As a comfortable bed is essential for a city break, this is a dealbreaker which will prevent us from returning.
Aside from that, the property is quirky, stylish, and in a fantastic location. Cleanliness was generally fine, though the light shade above the bed had a noticeable build-up of dust. It will be difficult to beat in terms of character and location when we return to York next year.

My wife and I stayed here from 29th December until 01st January. The accommodation is exactly as advertised, location is fantastic, approximately 5 mins walk to the shambles. Plenty places to eat and drink on the doorstep if you didn’t want to go into the centre. The accommodation was quirky, different and comfortable, if anything I would suggest a wall or at least a curtain between the bedroom and the bathroom (please note that the bedroom and bathroom are like an open plan livingroom and diner) so no privacy if you need to use the bathroom whilst your both upstairs. Luckily my wife and I were here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary so we have seen it all before? The added bonus of a garage was great and only a minutes walk away, we have a BMW 1 series and this just about fit in but wasn’t much room left. We would recommend this property and would stay again when visiting york if it becomes available.

Perfect location & property for a short city break in beautiful York.
The BookClub is quirky, well equipped, cosy & comfortable.
In a good area for easy access to all the sites in York & the numerous pubs & restaurants.
Only small issue - no shaving light in the bathroom!

A quirky, thoughtfully designed tardis in a great location to visit York's many attractions.
There is even car parking included.
It should be noted that the car parking is nearby, in a separate garage. I managed to squeeze in and out of my Jaguar, but it was tight.
The accommodation has everything needed. However, be prepared for the stairs.
It is a gem.
