Baggergate House Reviews

Georgina

We had a lovely stay at Baggergate house. It was such a great location for easy walking access to the centre of York. Lovely, clean and comfortable. Heidi was really friendly and helpful with all questions answered very promptly. The hot tub was a real hit with the kids! Would highly recommend as a York citi break holiday home. Only negative we can think of is the unloading and loading of luggage as busy road but all the good far outweighs this inconvenience.

Just returned from a two night stay in Baggergate House. We loved the house and found it really comfortable and quirky. The top floor room with the two low divans was absolutely fine. Although the beds are low, they are full length and extremely comfortable. The bathroom is great and we just took turns for the shower after all, we knew there was only one when we booked and there are plenty of loos! The hot tub was good fun and very relaxing after a day walking round York. The owners were very accommodating and helpful regarding storing our luggage both on arrival and departure. All in all we had a lovely stay thank you. Paula

Its a beautiful property, a couple of minutes walk from local shops and just 4 minutes walk from the city centre. Would highly recommend it.

Jacqueline

We had a really lively stay at Baggergate House. The house is comfortable and well equipped, close to the city centre, local shops and the station. There was a basket of goodies on arrival, including a bottle of Prosecco and the hot tub was very welcome after a long day exploring York. I can highly recommend a stay here you will not be disappointed.

Joshua

Brilliant property. We stopped here at the the end of June. Property is very spacious and very well equipped. Hot tub is great. Location is superb. Welcome hamper was a very nice touch. Thanks for ensuring we had the best holiday experience possible. Very much recommend this place to family's or friends looking for a place in york to stay, walking distance from everything.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Baggergate House, which is conveniently located to easily get to the centre of the city. Nearby theres even a bus stop for the hop onhop off sightseeing bus. Just around the corner is a charming and very useful parade of local shops butcher, greengrocer and eateries, and also includes a Barclays ATM, a small Sainsburys, and a wine bar and pub. Inside the house, the attractive facilities are modern and comfortable, and the place was immaculate and surprisingly quiet, given that it fronts on a busy street. One caveat The third bedroom, with its very low, sloped ceiling and short divan beds, is only suitable for children or a small adult. Fortunately, one of us is just five feet tall, so we managed.

Lesley

Perfect location for a visit to York and surrounding area. The house had everything you would need for a short break or longer stay. Hot tub was an added bonus.

Lovely property, great location, really clean. We really loved the house,the hot tub was great. We did feel that there should be another shower in a house to accommodate six people.

Christine

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

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

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.
