Host & Stay | Feversham House — Guest Reviews

Positive: Great location, clean, bed, shower, sofa etc all good Negative: My partner thought there was a slight musty smell, and possibly painted over mould in the bedroom

Lovely comfortable stay in York Positive: In a great location very close to the city centre, which provided a perfect walkable hub nearby most activities. The apartment itself was clean and roomy enough for a couple, but also felt cosy & comfortable in the downtime we spent there. The view of the York city walls was a nice bonus. There was a supply of tea, washing up tools & bathroom essentials readily available and the bed was quite big and comfortable. The parking space was great for ease and peace of mind, knowing we had somewhere dedicated to keep the car. The communication was good; some others in reviews may think it's a bit too regular, but I liked knowing I had all the info I needed. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and would consider staying here again if we ever came back to York. Negative: The bathroom still had the mild drainage smell that's been mentioned in other reviews. It comes & goes, tends to be worse after you turn the light + therefore the fan on. It was fine first thing in the morning & when coming back from a few hours in town, but will start again once you put the light on in the room. The bathroom fan is very loud, will come on every time you turn on the light and will continue to rattle through the whole apartment for a bit too long after you've left the room. It would be nice if it was quieter, or if there was a way to manually turn it on & off when needed as I found myself waiting for it to stop before managing to sleep, or using the hallway light instead as to not set it off. The apartment door was tricky to shut, as there's no pull-bar or handle to properly pull it to a close. We ended up putting the key in the lock at an angle that'd grip the mechanism and allow us to pull it shut, which isn't ideal. Fine for us but just to make others with mobility reqs aware, it's located on the top floor, up four flights of stairs.

Positive: The location was great, only a 5-minute stroll into town. The apartment was fine for a couple, and it had enough space to not feel too claustrophobic for a three-night stay. Negative: Many of the points about what could be improved are already mentioned in other reviews, which leads me to believe there is no intention to take them on board. Prior to staying - you will get far too many messages from the 'host', which are just marketing messages trying to get you to book extras such as hiring a personal chef. Smell of drains - there is clearly a blockage somewhere in the bathroom, and judging by the other reviews, it has been there for some time. It makes the bathroom smell of sewage. Toilet flusher - the toilet flushes fine, but one of the flush buttons no longer works. This is a sign of poor repair. Bathroom fan - once switched off, it stays on for some time, which is normal, but it creates a huge racket which reverberates around the whole apartment - it is so loud you can hear it from outside the apartment front door. Kitchen - is modern but lacks basic equipment. For example, it has 4 dinner plates, 3 breakfast bowls, and only 2 side plates. It has a large dishwasher, but it's impossible to accumulate enough dirty plates to fill it up. Wardrobe - the sliding door on the wardrobe is stuck, meaning you can't open and close it. It's probably something as simple as having come off its track, but this is a known issue, and no one has cared enough to rectify it. Cleanliness - one of the things I found most disappointing was being charged an additional £50 as a cleaning fee as soon as my booking was confirmed. It's probably buried somewhere in the T&Cs, but it was a surprise nonetheless. I wouldn't have minded so much, but I can't see any evidence of £50 worth of cleaning - cobwebs in the kitchen, dirt trapped in the extractor fan in the bathroom, black mould in certain sections of the bathroom grouting. Fire alarm - we were woken up on our third day at 7.30 in the morning due to the alarm going off in the entire building.

Positive: The location was spot on, the waterfall shower was gorgeous, the bed was ok a little small for 2, lots of stairs to gdt go thd apartment, but overall very nice. Negative: Right the parking space is very very tight, i have a small suv vw t rock, my partner had to get into the car thru the passenger door to let me into the drivers side, i have a small scratch on the drivers door due to the next space opening their door onto my door.

Everything we needed as a couple for a very enjoyable and peaceful stay. We will be back in the future! Positive: Lovely top floor airy apartment with everything we needed. Bed was extremely comfortable, lounge was a nice size, kitchen was ideal and bathroom was excellent. The views were nice and the surroundings of the building are very well kept. The off-road location and associated parking space are ideal and very peaceful. The location of Feversham House is perfect for the city with everything on your doorstep. The instructions to access the building and keys were very simple to follow. Negative: Nothing once we’d found it. Might be worth adding something into the location advice about being in the right-hand lane on Jewbury and turning right into Cloisters Walk?

Two Night Stay Great place for 2 adults that was in walking distance to the places we wanted to visit. Have to be able to handle dragging your luggage up stairs.

Great property Positive: In a great location next to the city wall with free parking and only a short walk into the city. The property was very clean with everything you need for a stay on hand. Bed was very comfortable and free WiFi. The Sainsbury's supermarket behind the property is no longer there, but there is a small Asda and a Morrisons with a fuel station close by too. We had no issues with the stairs, but it would cause problems for some people. We stayed as a couple and would recommend this property for your stay in York. Negative: Maybe some blackout curtains in the bedroom as the roman blinds didn't fit very well. The code for the bin store didn't work despite confirming with the property office it was correct. Apart from that, there are no other issues.

Great flat in a really good location. Perfect for two. Would happily stay again

A home from home! Excellent bed and facilities. Spacious apartment, close to great tourist spots. Enjoyed wandering around The Minster and making the most of Valhalla’s loaded fries (4 Patrick Pool, York YO1 8BB). A particular highlight was having an aperitif at Hooting Owl Distillery (1 Rougier St, York YO1 6HZ) ahead of dinner at nearby The Whippet Inn (15 North St, York YO1 6JD) Such a cool lounge and warm atmosphere we went back to Hooting Owl for an after-dinner drink too! Can recommend breakfast at Wheldrakes (5C Goodramgate, York YO1 7LJ) Super- friendly staff and great menu options. Took a stroll down The Shambles for some tourist treats before heading home. Thank you York, see you again!

Great place to stay for a long weekend in York. Super easy to get to, easy check in, close to amenities, great restaurants nearby.

Had a lovely stay. Very close to everything. We had my one year old boy and apartment was very child friendly also.

We had a fantastic honeymoon will return. Positive: Everything perfect for us Negative: The stairs

We enjoyed our stay but several little things need addressing Positive: Location was good for the city, easy to find and not too far from train station. Very quiet. No noise from the neighbours or outside. The apartment is comfy. We had a very enjoyable stay Negative: The smell from the bathroom hits you as soon as you come in the front door, and lack of condiments (salt and pepper etc) and the cleaning could be better. The car park space was not available when we were there and we’re not informed before we got there. So lucky we can up on the train or it would have been a nightmare to park.

Overall mostly good, most of it as you'd expect. Tidy place, comfy bed, great kitchen. Downsides - the smell from the drains in bathroom wasn't very nice. I know we don't all go away to watch tv, but after being out all day exploring and being on your feet, when the shops and attractions are closed and you've wined and dined it's nice just to unwind with a drink infront of the tele, though the remote very intermittent adding frustration to lovely days spent in york. Went to put the rubbish out after our stay, one code but two doors for the bin store, doesn't say which but tried both and the code didn't work.

HOLIDAY FROM HELL.. STAY WELL CLEAR.. PICTURES DON'T RESEMBLE THE FLAT, AWFUL SMELL, 👃 👃 👃 👃 Positive: The location was not to bad, 20 minutes walk, be careful though due to coming out on different sections of the castle walls, easily done, confusing at times. Negative: The Flat which wasn't described as being on the Top Floor, Hence 4 large flight's of stairs, we both have walking difficiculities, lugging all bags and suitcase made it more difficult and time consuming. Arriving at the door became apparent something was wrong, The Smell, awful pungent damp, soiled Ness, even deodorants couldn't mask this, windows open?? Hell No, couldn't do that due to building work!! Monday night, quick shower before bed, within 5 minutes water turned Cold this stayed like this the whole of our stay, complaining from start to finish, having to wash in the Sink.. What Company is running this... I'm still sending emails now and They're just sent a final offer of £100... So No this isn't the greatest place to stay even though we payed over £500 in August for our Wedding Anniversary which we couldn't go for a Meal that night because we didn't feel fresh enough because Our Basic Needs had been taken away from us.. I have a Disabled Wife who needs help all the time, how can you physically clean someone in a Sink.. Don't get me started on the Parking... If your Not purfect in your numbered box you'll have a knock on your door to ask to perceisly place your car, god help bigger than a Nissan Micra... Best part of our stay... LEAVING..... DON'T BE FOOLED, THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY.. IF YOU COMPLAIN, YOU'LL GET THANKS FOR BEING PATIENT WITH THEM.. HA... would 🤬

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Danke dass wir bleiben durften :) Die Lage war ausgezeichnet und recht ruhig!

Brilliant location within easy walking distance of the centre and public transport. Very quiet too and good view of the city walls! Very communicative host and good check in process. Unfortunately though there is a bad smell in the flat which after reading other reviews seems to be an ongoing problem. It is especially bad in the bathroom but does permeate through to the rest of the flat.

Lovely apartment in a great location. Positive: location was excellent. Apartment was clean and tastefully furnished. Specific car space was provided. Negative: No lift!

The location was spot on as we were close to the city centre and we got a free parking spot with our stay, however, from the first day we arrived, the flat had a very strong smell of sewage, we thought this would go away but as it was getting worse the next day we messaged the hosts who sent someone from maintenance the next evening, unfortunately he only put some drain unblocker down and this made the smell even more unbearable, the flat was mostly clean but there was multiple spiderwebs in the property.

Great location and lovely comfortable apartment Positive: Very clean and comfortable Negative: N/A

Great location and beautiful apartment. Positive: The location was excellent. The property was in great condition. Car parking was perfect as it allowed us to leave the car and venture around York. Negative: The bathroom had a funky smell!!

This is a fine apartment. Coffee pot takes capsules. Easy access to city walls, the Minster and the rest of the city. Our only problem was the complex 3 key entry system. The instructions for opening the lockboxes didn’t apply to ours. If you don’t find the black lever on the front left of your box, press the buttons on either side at the same time! Also code didn’t work for trash cupboard. But once we got in we had a great time and were very happy with the stay.

An enjoyable few days in an ideal spot within walking distance to all we had planned on our trip. Positive: Great location. Restaurants within a short walk from the property and a supermarket should you need it. We parked the car in the allocated parking space and there it stayed until we left, that definitely was an added bonus. Negative: All good.

Positive: This property was in a convenient location for our visit to York and surrounding areas. On site parking was a positive factor for us (which was snug, but manageable for us with a smaller car).

Positive: Location, parking everything we needed in flat. Negative: Stairs to top floor

Not bad, would stay again. Positive: Location was excellent, very quiet as well. Negative: Door hinges need lubricating, no one could get in without you knowing as you’d hear them from a mile away. Parking also a bit challenging with space.

Ideal location. Very comfortable. Positive: Spacious, comfortable and great location. Negative: Drainer would be better in the kitchen for pots. Also hooks on the bathroom or bedroom door for towels or coats would be amazing. Not that it affected the stay. Amazing host.

Great location; comfy; could have been cleaned better Positive: Good location. Comfy bed, high on the list of priorities Negative: Cleanliness, in the bathroom in particular, could have been better. The shower drain smells really bad

The location was excellent and parking space provided to facilitate a short walk into town. It seems that an assumption is made that guests eat out since no salt or pepper was provided.

This is definitely "the place" to stay in York! All the comforts you need in the apartment, dedicated parking, and walkable to all the sights and attractions! The building is "slightly tired" in that way that most buildings in the UK seem to be, but this shouldn't put you off - it's something to be aware of, given the "squeaky clean" photos, but nothing to deter you: it's a wonderful apartment!

Very enjoyable Positive: Location was excellent Negative: Small car park spaces

The location is ideal only a 5 minute walk to the centre however parking even in a small car was tight and then there were no instructions on where the room is in the building. This is not an accessible space as it is on the 3rd floor and there did not appear to be a lift but luckily we did not need it. The place wasn’t spotless, one of the chairs appeared very dusty and there were food crumbs on the coffee table still. I did really enjoy the warmth of the shower and the heaters do a good job at keeping the place warm. We spent most of the time around town seeing York so as a place to sleep for the night it did the job.

Ticked all the boxes for us. Great location and a parking place. Nice bedroom and great shower. We were visiting family so spent little time inside as York has so much to do and has a vast array of food and drink options. Top choice for us if we return to York

Great location, across the road from the York City Walls, 5 minutes from the Monk Bar. The accommodation was a good base for exploring York. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking evening meals (we were two people). Parking was very useful as it is expensive for even a few hours in the City. This is an end of row apartment in a block and was nice and quiet - we didn't hear anyone else and I didn't hear any traffic noise. Happy to stay again, thank you!

Very secure and comfortable Positive: Close to town Had all we needed Negative: Stairs to apartment

Great location, flat great but needs more attention to detail. Positive: Good location, good parking. Negative: 3 flights of stairs, not ideal for some people. Could do with better cleaners, lots off areas missed eg bathroom (massive hairs on tiles, spider webs, mould) broken toilet flush. Streaks on bathroom mirror. Dust in most places, top of fridge & kitchen edges. Roman blind in living room sits ‘weird’ Feather cushions & pillows not ideal if you’re allergic. Careful of sliding rugs.

Amazing stay, would highly recommend!

Positive: Location Negative: Not clean. Broken blind. Windows left open, so it was cold and damp. Fire exit blocked. Dirty duvet stored in cupboard. Dirty sock found under rug. Uncomfortable pillows. Extractor fan not working. Toilet brush holder had not been cleaned.

Amazing little place so close to the city centre would definitely come back! Thanks so much

Accommodation was great, just what we needed. A brilliant base for York. We had a problem with hot water after first morning. Switching to peak did not work as quickly as stated. There was someone to talk to and communication was really good. Hot water kicked in ( on peak setting) after evening out. Roman blind did not open in sitting room on last day, no fault of our own. Sofa wasn’t very comfortable but everything else was great. Overall, a brilliant base for exploring. Excellent shower when hot water working! Thank you so much.

Adequate for the location and money but too many steps Positive: Walking distance to York tourist attractions and choice of places to eat. Bed was comfortable. Kettle worked. View of the city wall. Negative: 44 stairs up to apartment, which were described to me in writing as "there are a few steps to reach this 2nd floor apartment but it's quite manageable ". The bathroom fan was very noisy and ran on for ages after switching the light off. So we had to leave the hall light on at night or be kept awake. Shower was very slippy, only 1 hand towel between 2 of us. The sofa was extremely uncomfortable to sit on. And if there was any wind, something was hitting the roof above us which kept us awake for hours on 2 nights of our stay.

Great location & property but the communication with host & stay is overwhelming. From the moment you book you a Positive: Really nicely presented and well decorated. Negative: The building itself isn’t very clean with stained carpets

Really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment is in an amazing location and was so close to the centre. It was clean and well looked after, the heating was also great at keeping the flat warm with the freezing weather. Would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely beautiful flat! So close to the city centre but still out of the way. Host was absolutely fantastic, really responsive.\nEverything was brilliant!

Really nice really homely all round very good

Really a total gem, loved the location and place was spotless and modern had everything you needed. Easy check in and out and thoroughly enjoyed our stay would really recommend this place for a city break

We really enjoyed our stay here, excellent location for easy access into the city of York, very clean and tidy. The hosts were always responsive and there were useful items like soap, bin bags and towels to use which is always a plus! We would just comment that the check in and check out times are a little less sociable than what we are used to, and the shower runs on a tank which led to one of us not being able to have a hot shower in the evening. We would however without hesitation stay here again in future!

Fantastic apartment but needs a deep clean! Positive: Fantastic location, just minutes from the city centre. The apartment has most things that you need for a self-catering stay. The bed was very comfortable and everything worked. Negative: The apartment smelled a bit musty on arrival, but you get used to it after a while. It could benefit from a deep clean. The bathroom has a sewage smell, so that needs some attention too!

Pleasant stay location and parking for small car Positive: Location/ and parking for a small car(large car would struggle to park) Negative: Needs a deep clean cobwebs everywhere layers of dust on all lights/extractor above shower fan needs cleaned/ glass wardrobe doors need attention /and cleaning,grease film on / had to open all windows wide for a while as to foist smells (was ok after few hrs of fresh air)

Really great central location for this simple and small flat. Great place if you are going for a weekend.

It took a couple of attempts to find the property but all was good when we did. The parking space is quite small but was adequate. Until a big van parked next to us which made getting in and out a bit tricky. The check in process was really easy and we’d been given all the codes we needed in advance which was great. Our first impression of the apartment was positive. However, it did smell a little of smoke. Don’t know if people are allowed to smoke in there but it’s a shame if they are. However, the apartment was lovely and had all we needed for our stay. Could do with a few more kitchen utensils and a couple of them were a bit grubby but I just cleaned them and it was all good. The location was definitely the best part of our stay. It’s so close to the city but also felt very quiet when we were inside. We’d love to stay again next time we’re in York. Thank you x

Great place to explore york from... Positive: Great location, Good facilities, Comfortable bed. Negative: Smell of trapped water in bathroom as mentioned in other reviews...u bend trap needs clean maybe? We left sink plug down, seemed to help...

Positive: So close to town centre you can park car and never use it till your leaving Very clean this is our third time staying here and will definitely be going back Negative: Nothing

Best place to stay in York Positive: Beautiful property and located close to city centre and attractions. Negative: Nothing

Parking spot provided. Great location.

The apartment is spacious, clean, comfortable, modern and very well located, just a minute or so from one of York's medieval gates. You look onto the city walls from the windows and it is about a 5-minute walk to the Minster. The down-sides are small: there are no recycling facilities and no sponges, brushes or cloths were provided to wash up or clean, though there was washing-up liquid. Similarly no basic cooking items like salt/pepper/oil, not essential but nice to have when offering a fully-equipped kitchen. The apartment is run through a management company, which makes communication harder. I wanted to ask if I could check in early and spent 5 minutes on hold to be told that it was against company policy – there was no offer to inquire with the owner. I generally find that individual owners are much more flexible. Others should also be aware that the apartment is on the second floor of a large building without a lift. The circulation spaces beyond the apartment are more like a tired office block, but of course you are only passing through these so it is not a huge problem.These are minor niggles with an apartment that was excellently located and, thankfully, remained comfortable during the hottest week in York for many years. When I stay in York again, I'll be staying here!

Enjoyed our stay. Felt comfortable. Close to main centre Positive: Clean, cosy, good facilities. Comfortable bed.

We had a wonderful stay at Feversham house. Perfect location to explore all the amazing sights York had to offer. Everything we wanted to see was only a short walk away. Communication with host and stay was amazing, putting my mind at ease with questions I had in the run up to our stay. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a wonderful stay at Feversham House.

The location was perfect. The accomodation was spacious and comfortable. Positive: Fantastic location

Great place, great location basically in the town centre.

Negative: No coffee pot bodum

Very enjoyable stay. I would stay there again Positive: Very comfortable. Great central location. Private parking.

Great communication! Place was clean and closer to the centre than we expected!

Really nice flat and very close to the city centre.

Beautiful flat with views of the city walls Very comfortable quiet and clean flat, easy to find and access, had everything we needed, washer/dryer unit a bonus! Walkable to train and all of York. Had a great stay and hope to book it again when we return!

brilliant place to stay, literally 5 minutes walk to the centre really enjoyed our stay 👍

Positive: Very clean and tidy, great views of the Roman walls

We had a lovley time.e york is one of our favourite places. The location was brill . everything on Positive: The location was fab. Negative: The pillows were quite hard.

Very good place, fantastic communication, good service - would highly recommend

Comfortable stay in beautiful York Positive: It was quiet, comfortable, and very nicely located. We certainly would stay here again. Negative: Being on the top floor, the apartment was served by stairs (40 steps). Not a complaint, but something to beware of, if you are older and/or have a very heavy suitcase!

Lovely accommodation and a very responsive and helpful host, very clear instructions for accessing/checking in and the location / accommodation was exactly as described.

We had no instructions on how to check in and no reply from the host. After a very helpful conversation with Airbnb support, we had no apology message or anything from the host, and our check in instructions were sent through from Dale at 4am on the day we checked out!! The place was beautiful and tidy and clean in a great location, but communication unfortunately was non existent.

Overall we had a very enjoyable stay. Positive: Location Negative: Couldn’t find the hairdryer; ornaments a little dusty, some marks on the bedsheets and toilet & bathroom floor grout needed bleaching. Wardrobe door needs mending as doesn’t slide.

Great location and good communication throughout!

Everything you need for a short break Positive: So close to the minster, everything you need on your doorstep with parking too! Negative: The bathroom did smell a little, but keeping loo seat down and air fresh re helped

Great place to stay very close to the city centre! Exactly as advertised :) The supermarket directly across the parking lot was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.

Positive: Outstanding location Negative: Unclear terms ans extra fees

Positive: Location ,clean and comfortable Negative: Nothing

lovely location, clean & tidy, very accommodating hosts. good parking.

Fabulous location, cosy flat. Would absolutely stay again if the smell from the bathroom was fixed Positive: Excellent location for exploring York City centre and surrounding areas. All accessible on foot as you are so central. Basic toiletries provided and some milk which was a very welcome gesture after a long journey. Access was easy with a lockbox, the apartment itself was nicely decorated, quiet and comfortable. Really cosy once the apartment warmed up - fireplace was a bonus. Negative: While clean there was an offensive smell of sewage coming from the bathroom - was unpleasant to use.

Positive: all of it

Positive: Location was fantastic. Apartment was well equipped and comfortable. Car parking was excellent and very useful.

York Break The property was very well located with a view of the Bar Walls. It was clean, spacious and great that we had parking. Would definitely stay again!
