Description Yorkshire Blue: York

Set beside the River Ouse, this trendy apartment guarantees a relaxing stay in the heart of historic York. We loved spending downtime in the living space, we were particularly fond of the licks of moody blue paint and antique trunks and chests. Cleverly placed mirrors open up the room, while deep, tufted sofas add a touch of cosiness. In the kitchen, you’ll find all you’ll need for putting together your favourite meals. After a hearty lunch at the bistro set, people-watch by the waterfront or follow the river into the city for cream tea in the medieval Shambles and a history lesson at the JORVIK Viking Centre, just a six-minute walk away. When it’s time to call it a day, head home to your comfy double bed and wind down with your favourite show on the nifty pop-up TV.
