Built into the precinct walls of an old Benedictine Abbey, its private balcony provides guests with unbroken south facing views across York Art Gallery, and ‘Edible Wood' in the Museum Gardens.

Comfortably designed for up to six guests the maisonette provides generous living space with a dining table that seats six as well as a breakfast bar for two in the contemporary, fitted kitted. The bedrooms have king or double beds with sumptuous mattresses, all of which are UK manufactured, and the principal bedroom is generously sized with a period features and en suite shower room. There is both a bath tub and shower in the family bathroom.

Priestley House has been carefully designed to offer its guests every luxury:-
Kitchen fitted with oven, dishwasher and hob… Everything you need to entertain Large flat screen TV with Virgin Media package Superfast Internet - Virgin Media Indulgent dual-control rainwater showers Luxurious nights with Snuggledown goose & duck feather pillows and duvet.

Brilliant Property
This place was perfect for us. We were a group of 5. We had plenty of space. all the little added details were very much appreciated. It was a pretty faultless stay from start to finish. We would love to stay here again if we ever find ourselves in York.

Fabulous place to stay in York
Priestly House is the ideal house to stay in York. It's location makes for easy access to the station, Minster, Theatres, Betty's and the Ivy all less than a 10 minute walk away. Lovely accommodation with comfortable beds and nice clean fresh linen and towels. Sainsbury's local just across the road and lots of bars and restaurants very close by too. We had a lovely stay and would be keen to return I'd recommend this property to others.

Great place and location
This apartment was perfect for our stay. It is decorated to a lovely standard inside, each of the beds were very comfy. Perfect location, just a short walk from everything really. Parking was provided which was ideal. The lady's I dealt with throughout the stay were so helpful.

A great central York city stay
We had a fantastic stay at this property. Great location it was clean and the bedrooms were nice. Only reason it’s not a 100% perfect stay is that the amenities are lacking a bit. Two toilet rolls for 5 guests and no shower gel felt a bit stingy for the price paid. Especially for a “boutique” let. Luckily sainsburys is over the road so we were able to get our own easily. I’d recommend the stay overall.

Our second stay
This was the second time that the women in our party had stayed at Priestley house and we had returned with our spouses because of its central location and large living space. York and this property was an excellent meeting point for us coming from different UK cities by train. As before the beds were comfortable and the property met most of our expectations. There were a few things that could be done to make the property even better and we have passed these onto the agents like the need for extra tea towels and towels. If you are reading this and considering renting just be aware that it can be a bit noisy if you like windows open, and the two second bedrooms have little spare space.

We loved our stay
We loved our stay. The house was perfect for me and my two friends. Beautiful property with everything we needed and more! We each had our own double bedroom, which is important to us being ladies of a certain age, we like our own space! Very comfortable beds, we all slept so well! Great location, walkable to everywhere we wanted to go. Easy walk to the centre. Supermarket and parking across the street. I would absolutely recommend this house and hope to return again! Extremely helpful communication. Very helpful with a last minute late check out x

Lovely apartment but very noisy
Priestly House is very nice with comfy beds and everything you would need but location right on busy road with single glazing makes it near impossible to get any sleep. For this reason I would not stay again.
