In the heart of York, just 100 yards from Monk Gate and the fascinating medieval streets, this smartly furnished mews cottage offers free designated off road parking and is a superb all year round holiday home. Ideal for a couple, the property offers a light open plan living space and a double bedroom.
With access to over 2 miles of York’s medieval city walls, a maze of snickleways and ginnels, world renowned attractions and a plethora of fabulous shops, cafés and restaurants only a short stroll from the front door, you won’t be able to wait to explore this wonderful city. York is fast gaining a reputation as one of the UK’s ‘foodie’ capitals and you can find some seriously great food and even better tipples brewed within the city. Why not take a break from walking around the city and see the view from one of the open top tour buses or sail slowly along the River Ouse on a cruise boat?

Whether your interest is in the large trains on display at the National Railway Museum, the history of the chocolate industry at York’s Chocolate Story, or of marauding Vikings and invading Romans, York has something for everyone. A little further out of the city you can find Castle Howard, one of the UK’s finest stately homes, the Yorkshire Air Museum, Nunnington Hall and Eden Camp. Pickering, with the North York Moors Railway, Helmsley and Thirsk are all within half an hour’s drive. This is a wonderful property which will provide you with many happy memories and leave you planning your next visit. Shop 400 yards, pub 100 yards and restaurant 200 yards.
Biggan Mews can be booked together with Oxtoby’s Upstairs (ref UK11705, located 150 yards away) and Oxtoby’s Downstairs (ref UK11708, located 150 yards away) to accommodate up to 8 guests.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Toilet being on separate level was not much of an issue but if people of mobility issues it will be. Parking outside was a bonus but work vans can park awkwardly so if you are wanting to go out can block you in. But we didn't use vehicle we walked into York about 5 minutes flat walk. Will use again and highly recommend. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Our second time here and great as before. Only slight niggle is the water system. Loo flushes continually when the shower is run and high whining sound comes and goes-only solution is to run hot tap on shower room basin for a few moments-just a bit annoying at 3am!

We enjoyed our stay at the property.
We enjoyed our stay at the property. There was only one slightly negative side to this. A container arrived during our stay and was sited in an area fairly close to the parking area which made us anxious about cars having to pass ours to reach their own parking spaces. Fortunately our car is a fairly small hatchback but the situation could have been tricky for anyone with a larger vehicle. The property was just as we remembered from several years ago - perfect in just about every aspect.

Very welcoming with fresh flowers and milk in fridge.
Very welcoming with fresh flowers and milk in fridge. Excellent position for York as Monkgate ( William 111 experience ) is 5 minutes walk away and about 10 minutes from the Minster. Accommodation easy to find with the directions given. Very cosy place. Would definitely book again and hopefully the weather will be better.

Great location, very contemporary décor, smashing for couples, extremely clean and cosy.
Great location, very contemporary décor, smashing for couples, extremely clean and cosy. Water pressure in the shower was not very forceful and the cubicle was a little cramped. We could have done with a shaver point in the bathroom to plug in our electric toothbrush. Wi Fi was spot on, all the kitchenware required. Owner left us fresh flowers, tea, coffee, sugar and milk. Plenty to do within walking distance, lovely pubs, places to eat, shop and be entertained. Wandering through historical streets in the warm spring sunshine was a total pleasure. We'll definitely be back!

I like to visit York regularly, but I have decided only to do so when Biggan Mews is available, because in my view there is simply no better place to stay.

Lovely cottage in fantastic location. Very clean and welcoming. Only one downside, could have done with an empty cupboard for food. Apart from that everything you could want in a self catering unit. Would certainly recommend and will probably return.
