Had a lovely stay at Priestley House.
The property was very well presented and equipped with everything we needed. We felt right at home from the minute we arrived.
The location was within short walking distance from everything we wanted to do, including from the train station.
Jo and the team were super responsive and helpful with any queries and very accommodating - thank you.
I would definitely recommend Priestley House and York Lettings, and would have no hesitation to rebook when back in York.

We stayed at Priestley House for two nights as it was our daughter's wedding at The Hospitium. The location is perfect for York city centre. It was very well equipped with quality items needed for a stay of six people. There was plenty of room in the lounge/diner for six adults, a hairdresser and a photographer too. Excellent communication from York Boutique Lets with clear instructions about how to locate the key. Fabulous place , can highly recommend.

We had excellent communication at booking and up to arrival. We had a couple of queries whilst we were in York & the team were extremely helpful & responsive when we contacted them.
The apartment is above an estate agents on a busy road but there was t a great deal of noise, certainly no more than you would expect from a city like York. The apartment is in a really great location & the free parking slot at a nearby car park (2 mins away!) is fantastic as parking isn’t cheap in York.
The beds were very comfortable with nice clean bed linen. The bathrooms & towels were very clean.
Overall we had a fabulous stay
