“The Knavesmire presents a comfortable Victorian home where guests can truly settle in, particularly those who appreciate cooking during their stay. Its location strikes a fine balance, a pleasant walk into York's centre while also offering the convenience of free, albeit busy, street parking and proximity to local butcher and bakery recommendations that are, by all accounts, worth visiting. This pet-friendly property feels warm and well-equipped, making it a solid choice for exploring the city.”
