Enclosed within the city's medieval walls beside the River Floss and just a five-minute walk from the heart of historic York, locations don't come much better than this. Lose yourself in the labyrinth of streets to discover bustling restaurants, cosy tea rooms, and a myriad of independent boutiques. Be sure to check out Betty's Café Tea Rooms (just eleven minutes on foot over the river) for a fat rascal - it's a thing around these parts. And there's no better way to see the city than to trace along the magnificent circuit of 13th-century walls. When it's time to rest up, you'll find a welcoming retreat awaiting. Housed in an impressive 19th Century warehouse of many former guises – first as one of Europe's largest flour mills, before a stint as chocolate giants, Rowntree and Co's navigation warehouse - the five-storey building has been reimagined into luxury apartments. Inside, the exposed brickwork, industrial windows, and archived imagery dotted about the home tell of its past, while homely touches and a deep sofa to sink into ramp up the cosy factor. And thanks to its privileged setting beside the quiet riverbanks, you can be sure of a peaceful night's sleep here.
