Neighbourhood

Our home is in a quiet residential area Like all cities with medieval roots, York is compact. No place is far from another or hard to find. We are less than 3 kilometres/1.5 miles from the city centre, you can walk there in about 30 minutes or catch a regular bus, then everything is at your fingertips. Cafes, restaurants, tourist attractions, bars, theatres, museums and art gallery. Daytime or evening; it is really easy to go to the city centre which is a 10 minute journey Locally, we have supermarkets, restaurants, cinema, bowling alley, pub, coffee shop and takeaway food. Most photos on our listing are taken in York City centre and are around 2 miles from our home. Other destinations have a travel time in the text underneath the photo - for example, at the coast, which is about one hour from our home.
