We stayed in York for two nights as our son was running the marathon. Knavesmire Mews was a reasonably central location and a twenty minute walk to the centre. It was a decent size for four adults with a room each and one bedroom with an en-suite, however we did not spend much time relaxing in the house as it was a busy weekend. It was clean and tidy although there was a lingering smell of fried food in the kitchen. There were a few small issues however. I understand that it is self catering and doesn’t have to supply any consumables, however, we had a 5+ hour journey and a small bottle of milk in the fridge would have been most welcome on arrival late on Friday but there was nothing apart from some teabags and instant coffee. Having stayed in many similar places this is unusual. Also there were no hooks anywhere to hang coats - not even in the bedrooms. This would have been really useful. There was also no towel in the downstairs toilet or the kitchen. There was a tea towel in the kitchen but that was all. There were towels in the bedrooms but these were for personal use. These few small things would have made a difference to our stay and although it may seem picky, it would have helped to make our visit smoother. Apart from these points it was a good place to stay.
