2 Bedroom Sea View Apartment
We had a lovely few days at The Sands, lovely apartment, it had everything you would need, amazing views and fantastic location.

The Cacao Suite - City - River View
Lovely stay at the Cocoa Suites - Daisy was a great host very responsive. The studio was immaculate and had everything we needed for a two night stay it was really clean and cosy. Excellent location for attending events at the Barbican and also for exploring York. Lots of places to eat and drink within a 5 minute walk. Will definitely stay here again next time we’re visiting and would highly recommend.

Canal side balcony apartment.
We had a lovely stay at the Old Brewery. The place was spotlessly clean, comfortable and quiet. It looked just like the pictures and perfectly matched the description. It was the perfect base to explore the Calder Valley, we walked along the canal towpath into Hebden Bridge and caught the bus back, so handy as the bus stopped right outside the property. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!

The Flat, Shepley secure parking & welcome hamper
Lovely stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Very warm and friendly welcome from the hosts, Suzanne and Ian who were there to meet me and explained how everything worked. Welcome pack a nice bonus and very much appreciated after a long drive. Flat was beautiful, light and airy but at the same time, homely and welcoming. Very peaceful location and felt very safe there, something very important to me as a female guest staying on my own. Great communication and the few queries I had during my stay were answered very quickly. Local shop within walking distance for anything you might need and a coffee shop which looked very inviting and a must try venue for next time. All-in-all, a wonderfully relaxing stay.

Watersedge Lodge by 5 Rise Locks
This is our second visit in the space of 3 months. We specifically chose to return as it feels like home from home. Lesley and Jez are very friendly and accommodating. The lodge has everything we need, including a lovely garden and wonderful views. We highly recommend this accommodation, and won’t hesitate to book it again.

Paddock View Apartment
Lovely place just like the photos clean and simple Great views close to walks for the dogs Really appreciated the tea / coffee milk, cereal etc seems simple but not everyone leaves welcome items ❤️

Modern Loft, Open Plan in Leeds City Centre
Perfect for our stay in Leeds. Central and easy to get around from, walking distance from the train station. It was everything we needed for our stay! Keith was helpful and responsive to all my questions!

The Boathouse Apartment in centre of York
Really great location on the river, not far from the station and really close to the historic heart of York.

Stone cottage overlooking River Wharfe
A lovely cottage in a lovely town. Super comfortable beds and a great shower. Well equipped kitchen and the garden overlooking the river was a delight….very friendly neighbours, too! We would definitely stay again. Ten out of ten.

Chantry Cottage, Newby Hall, Ripon North Yorkshire
Chantry Cottage is a lovely, homely property. Beautifully clean with lovely finishing touches such as bread, butter and milk ready in the fridge for when we arrived. The communication was amazing, we had one slight issue with a log burner, which Shanie and Tom fixed right away. The garden was beautiful, although our extremely lively cocker spaniel can scale the back wall, so be careful if your dog is an escape artist! If not, then the garden is perfectly secure for your pup. Such welcoming hosts and an amazing property. Perfectly positioned for a country retreat whilst being just a 5 min drive into the centre of Ripon. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Georgian house with hot tub right on the River!
A unique, stylish home in the heart of the brewing town of Tadcaster. The host's are fantastic, leaving plenty of info and check in treats and the house itself is beautiful, relaxing and above all, a joy to be in.

Stunning 3 bed Yorkshire Dales cottage
We really enjoyed our stay in Skyreholme. The house and garden was absolutely beautiful with incredible views. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Riverside Retreat at High Bridge Court
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Riverside Getaway We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful riverside retreat in Knaresborough. The property was spotlessly clean, well equipped with everything we needed, and incredibly comfortable making it a true home away from home. The hosts were responsive and helpful, replying promptly whenever we had a question. The location was ideal, offering easy access to explore the charming town and surrounding areas. We’d highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a stay in Knaresborough and would love to return in the future!

Hessle Foreshore 2 Bedrooms Amazing Views Humber
Absolutely brilliant, the accommodation was superb. Comfortable, clean, and have all we needed. Location was ideal for us and suited our plans. our host was readily available but respectful of our privacy. Highly recommend and a perfect introduction to ABNB.

Classic Riverside Townhouse in city centre
Lovely riverside home. Short walk to the Rambles, the Minster, Roman Wall and more. Easy check-in and a very warm welcome! A wonderful experience for our group of 4 ladies. The view is AMAZING!

The Boat House - Powder Monkey
We had a lovely stay in monkeypowder. We loved the layout with the bedrooms downstairs and living area on the ground floor. The living room has great sea views and an area to sit and lookout. There is a huge comfortable sofa and great wallpaper of a view of Scarborough. The kitchen is modern and well equipped and a great space to enjoy a meal together. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and a modern ensuite. The apartment was spotlessly clean and we loved the quirky furniture. Free parking was a bonus and a great location to explore Scarborough.

Stunning Sea View Holiday Home Scarborough
the apartment was spotless and absolutely beautiful. Also, it's a perfect location so you can walk anywhere you need to go.

Lovely apartment by the river with parking space
A home from home with a lovely view from the living room balcony doors. The setting is so peaceful but so close to the lovely town centre and great to have a parking space with the apartment. Lots of pubs, cafes and restaurants nearby. We would definitely come back!

2 Bed, 2 Bath Balcony Opposite Royal Armouries
Myself and my colleague stayed at the Apartment whilst attending a conference over at the Royal Armouries. The location was perfect - short walk to the venue. The apartment was exactly as described, if not better. Much better than staying in a hotel where you are confined to your room. Beds were super comfy, apartment was really clean - and loved the fragrance plug in that was there in the hallway - real home from home! Convenient Tesco Express just a short walk, and being able to make yourself some food without eating out - worked well for us. Coffee machine is a great perk - along with everything you need like teabags, sugar and milk sachets! Hopefully the conference will be in the same venue next year - we won’t hesitate in booking the apartment again! Thanks again to Syed for being responsive and checking in with us to make sure all was ok!

Modern Apartment, Central & Convenient
Really enjoyed our stay .The flat is really well connected with the Hepworth on the doorstep and Yorkshire Sculpture Park an easy 30 minus ride .We also found the free City bus useful to get to the station .Jane was very helpful .

WoW amazing Sea Views,located on the Esplanade
Thank you for an wonderful stay. The view is beautiful from the living room. The apartment itself was clean, tidy and of generous size. The beds are comfortable, which helps with the amount of walking we did. Richard has made the apartment a home from home with everything you need!! We always forget something, this time is was a toothbrush charger and there was one to use in the bathroom. It is one of the best air b&b we have stayed at, we cannot wait to return. The gardens opposite were lovely to walk around before heading into town. It's a short drive down to Bempton cliffs, Filey (highly recommend cjs for fish & chips) and Cayton bay. The coffee van called Nova outside the apartment was perfect for when we needed a barista style drink. 9am flat white, the kids loved their milkshakes and the owner was super lovely 😀. It was perfect and we didn't want to leave! there is only 1 small negative and that's the pigeons squarking away from 5am every morning on the metal balcony. 😬

LoveYork | Penthouse Riverside Apt | Free Parking
Great views. Great location. Awesome amenities. You do have to climb 40+ steps, but it is totally worth it, but you have to be able to do it.

The Captains Quarters
A fantastic stay at The Captain's Quarters . Easy to check in, find and very accessable to all aspects of Scarborough. We were attending a gig at the Spa so it was a perfect base! The View from the window is amazing. Watching the sea early morning to early evening was fabulous.

The Riverside Haven - Quirky Riverside Apartment
Had a lovely stay here, it was beautiful! We loved it so much we wanted to live there, lovely host, beautiful walk into the town and it was so cosy! Because the hosts were so kind from the start, even before we were in York, we felt our stay and our overall experience in York was amazing.
