Fabulous all round . Loved the house , just a nice size for 6 guests . Loved the welcome pack of Prosecco ! Great location too ! Thank you
Jackie
Loved this house, perfect home from home and a great location. The owners have thought of everything. Highly recommend
Sheila
A lovely house and well located. The hot tub was super. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here.
Had a lovely week here. We booked for location and didn't think the hot tub would be used, but it turned out to be a hit with all 3 generations and used almost every day! Facilities were great, house lovely and every requirement thought of. We enjoyed playing the board games at night too! Will certainly book again.
Stephen
Our second time at this lovely property and we'll be back for a third if we can. Beautifully clean and spacious and has a real home feel to it it was always lovely to come home to the house at the end of a day. The location is amazing city walls right outside, ten minute walk from the train station, ten minute walk from Clifford's Tower and Coppergate and on a main bus route too. Fantastic.
Jonathan
A jewel near the city centre. We had the delight in staying here for a week and couldn't have asked for more. The house is deceptively spacious and has a lovely quirky layout. The welcome goodies were a lovely touch and much needed after a long drive to get there. The decor was very tasteful and the towels, slippers and robes were the icing on the cake. The jacuzzi... wow... a lifesaver after walking around the city all day. We used in several times and it certainly takes the aches and pains away! The house is perfectly placed to explore York on foot or to drive to nearby towns. So much to do, so little time. Local amenities and eateries are excellent and its a very friendly neighbourhood. We'd recommend this property to anyone on a city break in York. It's perfect.
Lindsay

Lovely property in a great location appreciated the Christmas decorations which made it feel very festive Only criticism quite a few light bulbs out and main light in living room not working which made reading at night difficult
Everything had been thought of! Hairdryers in each room. Hairbands for the hot tub. Hot tub ready to use on arrival. Christmas decorations! An amazing and generous welcome hamper and a bottle of fizz! All wonderful. Just one thing missing instructions on how to use the oven.
Claire
Absolutely lovely accommodation with every guest requirement anticipated and catered for we couldnt fault anything and had a fabulous weekend. Beautiful house in a fantastic location we will definitely return in future
We 3 female friends booked Baggergate House for a 50th birthday celebration weekend. The house is beautiful very quirky with all the stairs, but extremely welcoming, comfortable and just lovely. We had everything we needed to make our stay special and Heidi & Trish our hosts were so kind they not only provided the basic necessities like milk and tea so we could have a quick cuppa before venturing back out again, they also left us an impressive welcome basket of goodies, with Prosecco! We had a fabulous time and the house went a long way to making it a special weekend. All 3 of us are now thinking about going back for family holidays!
Alexandra
Great location. Clean and comfortable. Well equipped. Amazing hot tub.
Absolutely beautiful property. Loads of extra special bits. Basics supplied for when you arrive, milk, snacks, sweets and even a bottle of bubbly. All linen and towels separate ones for the hot tub supplied with dressing gowns and slippers too. The property is just outside of the city walls in easy walking distance to the centre of town. Parking is available with a permit supplied when asked forin nearby streets it felt very safe to leave the car. Would highly recommend this property.

Sharron
This property is lovely, little touches by the owners to make guests feel welcome. 5 minutes into the city. Absolutely recommend this property.
Beautiful house and close to the centre of York. Wonderfully clean and owners provide towels for the hot tub, robes and slippers for each guest. Arrival snacks plus milk and Prosecco were a lovely touch. Also has everything you may need such as teacoffee, condiments, shampoo etc. The hot tub was wonderful and we were so lucky to have such great weather too. York is a fabulous place for a long weekend and highly recommend Baggergate house. Lots of steps in the property though so beware if you dont have good mobility.
Baggergate house is absolutely fantastic. Definitely one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in. The fixtures and fittings were very high quality and everything was thought of. It was literally like being at home in that everything was there. The owners clearly take a great pride in this lovely home and enjoy providing a great experience for their guests. The location of the property is outstanding overlooking the City Walls, and a short walk into the city centre. Local shops Bishy Road Shops are vibrant and varried. The proximity of the lovely Rowntree Park was also a bonus for us. The availability of a free parking permit was also a huge plus.

Great central location, lovely comfortable property full of character and history with added bonus of the hot tub. Parking was difficult and lots of steps throughout the house to be aware of but the owners had thought of everything to ensure we had a fantastic time and we would definitely like to stay here if visiting York again.

Michelle
Great location and lovely house
We enjoyed our stay at Baggergate House, property was extremely clean and kitchen was fantastically well equipped, there was also a lovely good basket of treats on arrival. Hot tub was fab. TV had access to Netflix. The location was great and really near Rowntree Park which was excellent for the kids. Also near great coffee shop and ice cream parlour. There were more steps in the house that I had appreciated possibly as I overlooked description, so a few between dining room and kitchen and lounge, we just had to watch our 2yo carefully, for that reason may suit slightly older families. There was no parking but very close to train station and car park nearby though expensive. Overall great stay, I would definitely recommend this house.
