• "It’s a great and convenient location but you would’ve thought that with the flat overlooking a floodlit Sainsbury’s car park, that the curtains would be blackout curtains!"

  This made it hard to fall asleep.

• "Ideally located just a short walk from York Minster."

  Allocated parking space makes a big difference and proximity to local supermarket is useful for stocking up on supplies. The apartment is small but works well for a couple or single person - like a hotel room with a kitchen. Very clean and lovely communal areas with very little noise from other residents. Hot water can be a little erratic starting hot and going cold after a short while, but as it was very hot summer days, colder washing wasn’t an issue. Would recommend taking a fan with you if weather very hot as it can get muggy at night, but can leave windows open. I would imagine the older windows may struggle to keep heat in during winter though. Bed is very soft so if you have back issues and need more support then it may not be ideal, but the bedding was clean and although the duvet wasn’t needed, it was quite thick to keep you warm if colder weather. Kitchen facilities are fine and little touches like toiletries in the bathroom and Prosecco and chocolates to welcome you are lovely. Key and entry instructions are clear, although keys were in slightly different location within the post box, but we found them with a bit of searching. Overall, if you stay in summer and don’t need much room, then this apartment is perfect for exploring York.

• "This was our second stay at the Feversham, and once again we found it was an ideal base for a visit to York."

  The parking space is a huge benefit. Although the property is small it is more spacious and has more character than staying in a hotel. We hope to return in future.

• "A lovely flat right near centre of York."

  The flat exceeded our expectations, it was clean, comfortable and well equipped. It’s located in a lovely building, which is very clean and quiet on the top floor. The owner left a bottle of Prosecco and some chocolates which was a nice touch, along with some nespresso capsules to get you started. The hot water was hot and plentiful and we had no issues with the shower. The bathroom has a radiator with a rack for towels which was nice. All toiletries are provided and looked of good quality, although we used our own. We found it really well equipped and comfortable and will definitely return if available. The allocated car parking space is a real bonus, however be aware that a bit of manoeuvring is required if you have a largish car/SUV and the adjacent spaces are occupied.

  Good facilities within the flat as advertised but don't bring a hairdryer as one is provided. Moreover a supermarket right behind the flat, here's a hint apply for a Sainsbury nectar card and save some cash. Host leaves a bottle of Prosecco, nice touch.

• "Loved the location and the fact that it had dedicated parking."

  Everything we needed was there. There's not a lot you can do (apart from new windows but it's prob a listed building) but we found sitting on the couch our backs were cold due to the sash window, is it single glazed? Perhaps thermal curtains could be used in winter. Oh and the fan in bathroom was not working. But those small points did not detract us from having a great week in The Feversham, enjoyed it so much that we have already booked to stay again next December.

• "Lovely Edwardian building, good parking, near to City centre."

  The stair area had obviously been recently decorated and looked nice. However, the fire doors had filler in indicating where the handles had been moved, still rough and unpainted, and the corridor leading to our room smelled somewhat of damp. The door to our room creaked when opened and the first thing we noticed was the strong smell of sewage emanating from the bathroom area. The woodchip on the walls was reminiscent of 80's student accommodation and the bed was as soft as a marshmallow. OK if you like that sort of thing. The curtains weren't affixed properly so when you drew them, they met in the middle. None of the clocks worked and there were a few cobwebs strewn here and there. Sashcord windows could do with a paint but, in fairness, the kitchen was modern and ideal for purpose. Unfortunately we only stayed one night as ill health necessitated an early departure. That fact in no way influences my description.

  It's a compact flat, ideal for a couple, with a smart TV and good WiFi. There's a separate well equipped kitchen with coffee machine, and a bathroom. The location, just outside Monk Bar, is convenient for main attractions such as York Minster, the NT Treasurer's House, and walks around the Bar Walls. We found the reserved parking space a bonus for touring from York.

  It has all the necessary appliances including a Crok-pot, which coincidentally was identical to ours. The situation is fantastic. In front of the house there is a supermarket and around three others. The house is very quiet and the neighbors are very friendly.

Sainsburys 3 minute walk for all day to day needs. I Would like to mention the owners were most helpful when needed (my mistake completely) after I required their help. Good apartment, good owners.

• "Lovely property."

  It was bigger than it appeared in the listing, with plenty of hanging space and drawers. Kitchen well equipped. Very comfy bed. Smart TV was a bonus as well. Fantastic location. Similar to other users, I would suggest that it needs longer insulated curtains,there is a considerable draught from the windows to the extent that we needed to move the sofa away from the window. The shower, lacks power, and the boiler isn't sufficient to run a bath (but plenty hot enough for everything else. None of these niggles really detract from the overall ambiance of the property. Thoroughly recommended.

• "Nice little apartment just out side the wall."

  Location is great, apartment was spotlessly clean. Easy arrival and departure. Has everything you need equipment wise for a good stay. Bottle of presseco was lovely surprise. Did message the owner a few times, they always responded quickly. Which was great. A few things would improve the stay. The apartment is quite cold. And we stayed on a warm weekend for the time of year. Kept the heating on the whole visit and the little fire in the evenings on our return. But still cold. I appreciate double glazing is not possible but decent thick curtains would help. There is quite a draft coming through the windows. The curtains don't fit properly and are thin as sheets so light is coming through from sunrise and stops no drafts. The shower isn't great unfortunately, pressure is poor and goes hot/cold. Lastly we found the bed awful. I am mindful that it is quite a personal thing. But for us it was very lumpy and super soft. These are little things that i felt would definitely of made it a more enjoyable stay. It was nice Little place just needs a few little adjustments to make it perfect.

• "This is a lovely property in a great location for the city."

  There are two problems, though: heating and hot water. It's a room on the second floor and in the roof and has sash windows, so even with the radiators on full it struggles to stay warm on a cold day. The hot water is provided by a small electric boiler which simply isn't reliable or powerful enough. On the first night it didn't work at all so we couldn't wash up or have a bath. We had a rather strange conversation with the owner late that evening when we rang to find out how to get hot water. She first insisted it was working (when it wasn't), then suggested we leave it 10 minutes and it would work (it didn't) and then after we complained further suggested we pack up and leave! Ten minutes later she rang asking to start the conversation again, the upshot of which was that we were "being picky" to expect hot water in a flat that was so well-priced for its location. We resorted to using the electric shower, which has a thermostat problem such that the water is either extremely hot or cold. On the second day, the hot water started working (no idea why), but the size of the heater means it's impossible to have a bath. All in all, although it's a lovely property in a great location, we couldn't recommend it because of the hot water situation, the heating (in winter) and the rude approach of the owner to a reasonable question of how to work the hot water.

  Regarding your feedback, when you contacted us in relation to the lack of hot water at Feversham, we went to the property as soon as we could. We checked both the showers and the taps and everything was working perfectly. We did leave a note and text to say that everything was full operational. As we did not hear anything further from you we presumed there were no further issues.

• "This property is well situated for enjoying the city of York and all its attractions."

  It is well furnished and comfortable although the confines of the flat mean that comfort is sacrificed by the bed being placed against the wall. Personally, we had issues with the lighting which we did not find very bright and, in the kitchen, the lights did not illuminate the working areas but did a good job on the window. The washing machine was pain in that it would not dry the clothes but having a drying stand was a great help to get over this. Could have done with a strainer (for straining cooked rice).

• "The Feversham is a spotlessly clean small but well equipped apartment with its own parking in the middle of historic York."

  There is a very welcome Nespresso machine so we were able to return through the day for rest breaks, lunches and coffees - it really did save us a fortune and the major sites and historic city is totally accessible within minutes on foot. Communications with the owner were also excellent and helpful prior and during our stay. Another bonus is Sainsbury's at the back of the building so you are never far away from an endless supply of provisions. We'll definitely be looking to stay at the Feversham again!! The bed, linen and pillows was so comfortable and obviously well thought about. What's the point staying anywhere where is has been so terribly wrong in the past with other accommodations. Thank you for a wonderful stay and the very nice gesture of Prosecco and chocolates.

  Woodchip on the walls. Basically a mattress on the floor in the corner of the room extremely uncomfortable. Noisy neighbours who kept us awake for 2 of the 3 nights. Very disappointing

  We are sorry to hear that our property did not match upto your expectations. We would like to add that we do not feel as though our property should be considered to be dated as you have mentioned. The property has not changed in appearance from the pictures currently advertised. The mattress is made of a high quality, we love it so much we even have the same one in our own home. We have not heard prior complaints about our neighbours being noisy for that matter, but we are sorry if this has been the case for your stay.

• "The positive things were it was right in the centre of York, and near to supermarket, in fact that is the view from the window, It was fully equipped but unfortunately the standard of cleaning was not was I was expecting especially in today’s COVID-19 situation."

  It looked vacuumed, and there were clean sheets and towels, but on entering the kitchen I found crumbs and dust at the side of the microwave and in the handle ridge on the fridge. The freezer box in the fridge had not been defrosted and that was not clean. In fact I spent a while cleaning surfaces and finger marks, I was pleased I had taken some cleaning products, I wanted to use the oven but when I saw the dust and crumbs in the door I decided not to. The whole place needs a thorough deep clean to get rid of the grease on the unit doors and everything else. I noted from another report last year the socket behind the microwave was loose, it still is! The toilet is brown, I couldn’t get that clean but I made an improvement! The list goes on! There are lots of feather scatter cushions and last year’s pamphlets in a folder which should be removed. The place is ideal for York it just needs a team of cleaners now and a thorough clean every Friday. I have taken photos if anyone wants to see them.

  Comfy, cozy and well situated with off road parking and a supermarket a 2 minute walk away - we were very happy with the property. The owner had left us a bottle of prosecco and some Lindor chocolates which was a nice touch. The only downside was the shower... the thermometer in the shower unit has gone and so you have the choice of scalding your skin off or freezing - there is no in between. If the shower unit could be replaced, we would happily book again for next year.

  Thank you for your positive feedback. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and you would happily book again.

The location was perfect and we parked the car in our allotted space and left it there for the week, just walking into York and exploring. The only downsides were a) the bike storage was outside, but the owner told us that so we could bring a bike cover, 2) the view of the house above, and the view of the Minster is actually from the back garden. The flat is on the other side of the house and has a fine view of Sainsbury's car park! Although that was very handy for provisions. A very happy stay. We would happily go back.

  The decoration was worn. The grouting in the bathroom was stained as was the bowl of the toilet. The curtains in the living room had mould spots on the back of them and they were so thin that we were woken at 5.30am each morning with the room being filled with sunlight. Boiling water from the kettle was full of grey flecks so we couldn't make hot drinks during the weekend. The owner was friendly on the phone when arranging key collection and we were able to check in early. The greatest benefit was being so close to city centre and having a parking space.

  The only reason I have not given top marks for comfort is that the settee is basic and is by a very draughty window, that being said, the flat had ample heaters. Regarding facilities, whilst the property has a bath, the hot water tank is way way too small to provide enough hot water for a bath. It is therefore impossible to have a hot bath. These are minor things and I offer this feedback simply to indicate why I did not give full marks on comfort and facilities. Incidentally, the flat is wonderfully quiet which is a big bonus!
