The Georgian Townhouse York - Self-catering house in Yorkshire
70 Walmgate, York, YO1 9TL, Yorkshire
England,
Reino Unido
Sometimes city places are no more than a good base from which to explore and see the sights, but this is a truly comfortable landing pad for a group of family or friends. Terracotta tiles glow warmly under soft lighting, William Morris wallpaper and thick curtains cocoon you, gorgeous velvet sofas wait for you (and a book), a long oak refectory table is just the ticket for convivial meals by candlelight and has enough space for everybody to sit with ease.
Conjure up meals in the swish kitchen with all the kit you need or step out to restaurants galore. The bakery next door can deliver your breakfast buns and you'll find basics like milk, shortbread and crisps waiting for you. Bedrooms (one downstairs) are well-dressed with antiques and pretty fabrics, the attic room has views over rooftops and church spires; bathrooms are warm and bright.
Just off the sitting room is a small courtyard with a table and chairs.

Local points of interest from Beth Davies:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Beth Davies:
- York is Europe's best preserved medieval gated city and the medieval Merchant Adventurer's Hall with its charming garden cafe is just down the road. A four minute stroll takes you to the Shambles, which provided inspiration for Harry Potters' Diagon Alley.
- Walmgate is a bohemian street full of restaurants, cafes and delis including the much loved 'Hairy Fig', the Michelin Starred Le Cochon Aveugle and the Little Blondie bakery next door which will deliver to your door.
- Following the plague, many of York's residents fitted lucky black cats to their buildings to scare away diseased rats! There's a trail you can follow to find them all. Can you spot the cat climbing Walmgate's gate or 'bar', juts up the road from the house?
- Visit the Minster, one of the world's most magnificent cathedrals, explore the underground, Viking world of Jorvik, try your hand at an escape room, join a ghost tour and look for Roman soldiers or walk the city walls for stunning views of beautiful York.
- The house has a secret staircase that used to be used by the servants. The winders have been carved out to make space for the servants calf muscles! The stairs had been boxed in and we discovered them in their original condition during the restoration.
- The early date of the house and the panelling and cornice work in Betty's and Minster have led to the high listing of the house at Grade II* showing its national historic importance. Betty's fireplace was inspired by Batty Langley's Georgian copy book.
