Lovely comfortable house close to the centre of York . Would have liked an 11 o’clock check out as 10 was a rush . Would have been good if we could have left our luggage in the hall Sunday morning , as we wanted to spend the day in York but the owners said this was not possible .

Very clean house in a quiet location with an easy walk into the city.
We found York to be a perfect city for a short break with lots of ways to spend the day and the choice of pubs and restaurants is superb.

Just what we needed
Fantastic location with great outdoor space and parking for one car which once parked up didn't move until we left. Lovely house in a quiet cul de sac with everything you need as home from home. Very comfortable beds, lovely decor, overall a fantastic break.

Weekend break
5 ladies stayed here last weekend. The house is lovely. Well equipped and in a quiet cul de sac which is close to the city walls. Perfect place to stay especially if you are attending the Barbican. The owners replied to any emails promptly. Would definitely stay here again. Fabulous break.

Great Rental in York
The house is in a great location. Easy walking distance to the centre. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. It was a lovely touch the goodies left in the fridge - eggs, milk, bread, butter and the bottle of fizz. Weather was good so we took full advantage of the garden.

A fab home from home.
I have stayed at Riversmead a couple of years ago, and as my 3 friends and l wanted to go to this years' York Christmas market, l arranged for us to stay there, because I loved it. It's such a lovely house, so clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and maintained, and just ten minutes walk from the city center, so it's in a very convenient location. Everything is provided and a lovely touch is the welcome pack and bottle of bubbly. It was lovely to see christmas decorations too. I would highly recommend it and would definitely book Riversmead if l visit York again. Thank you Keith and Jayne, for making it so lovely.

York, the jewel in Yorkshire's crown, voted England's Favorite City, European tourism City of the Year. There is always something going on to surprise and delight the visitor.This beautiful old walled city has over 2000 years of history. York has been important to many invaders. The Romans named York Eboracum and was home to the legendary Ninth Hispana and Sixth Victrix legions, Roman Emperors were acclaimed and died in this city. Viking Kings ruled from here and named it Yorvik. Norman stronghold, William The Conqueror fortified the city to subdue the rebellious North after the invasion of 1066. King George VI said 'The history of York is the history of England'.The city is alive with history with every twist and turn of its narrow streets, York Minster, the ancient 'Shambles', Cliffords Tower, Merchant Adventurers Hall, Kings Manor, Treasurers House, Yorvik Viking Centre, the list goes on. World class horse racing,superb museums [the Yorkshire Museum, Castle Museum and National Railway Museum], old haunted Inns and pubs, year round festivals, street entertainers, ghost walks, riverboat trips, lively bars, cosy bistros all combine together to make York the city to visit whatever the season. York, a city where an ancient past feeds a vibrant present.
