Priestley House is a distinguished nineteenth century town house on the handsome Georgian thoroughfare of Bootham close to York City Walls, Minster and Railway Station. The location is second to none being a few minutes' stroll from York city centre's amenities, museums, galleries and recreational spaces including the riverside and botanical gardens.
A smart entrance gives private access to the maisonette on the upper first and second floors from which cityscape views can be enjoyed towards Bootham Bar and the Minster's central tower, the highest point in York. Newly refurbished throughout in October 2021 its interiors are luxuriously appointed, stylish and very much on trend, blending period and contemporary pieces. 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.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay here recently. We were two people, meant to be 3, but one of our party wasn't able to make it. So between 2 of us we had plenty of space and it would have been just fine with 3 people as well. All rooms in the apartment were comfortable, beds very comfortable. Slept great! The location was fab - York is very walkable and the apartment is very close to the main part of the city so we were able to get back easily wherever we went. I highly recommend and I would book again for a party of up to 4 adults. 6 adults might feel like too much of a squeeze as two of the bedrooms were small, and although there's two spacious bathrooms one is attached to the master bedroom.
