  • "We enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Stamford Bridge."

    We were made to feel very welcome by the hosts. Their attention to detail was impeccable. It was a superb location as convenient for the Village and local bus routes. I would thoroughly recommend River View for anyone wishing for a base to visit York and surrounding area.

  • "Riverview is a real labour of love for Graham and Jane and it shows throughout the house, which is beautifully and perfectly furnished and equipped."

    It’s also generously supplied with all those holiday essentials that usually require a swift visit to the local convenience store on arrival - no need here with such an overflowing welcome pack! The house is in the heart of the village with local bakery, a supermarket and local restaurants within a hundred yards. There is a local pub next door but this is very well behaved and didn’t cause us problems, and our nights were peaceful and quiet. There is a beautiful patio garden too, with comfortable outdoor dining furniture. Bus service into York runs from the village, so the car can stay behind in the ample parking area. All this and a perfect week’s summer weather too!

    Thank you Keith for such a nice review it is much appreciated. You and your family are always welcome back . Kind regards Graham and Jane Property Owner

  • "Property, clean and very well equipped."

    Cooking was easy and a pleasure. Lots of extra touches which were clearly thought out and very much enjoyed. You really do feel spoilt at this property with its extra touches and its cosy hugge vibes. Graham was on on hand with any questions about property or the area and it’s clear they both put a lot of effort into making you feel welcome. We’d visit again with no hesitation. We are also an autism family, so going away is a big deal, this place made us feel at home and a great place for us all to decompress in comfort after some busy days visiting the sites. More so than any other property to date. Thank you

    Graham and Jane couldn't have been more generous hosts. Stamford Bridge has a surprising range of shops, pubs and takeaways including a Co-op open daily from 6 to 10.

  • "Great location for visiting York."

    Best welcome pack we've ever had. Very generous. Stamford Bridge is a lovely place. Next door to the pub, which is next door to the fish and chip. Cake shop and bakers across the road. Amazing pork pies from the butchers across the square. Whisky shop. Excellent bistro. Plus chinese and indian too. So much for such a small place. Pretty riverside walks. Bus into York was only £10 for the day for all three of us. 100% spotlessly clean. You can see a lot of love goes into the place.

    The owners have gone above and beyond to provide every facility. The care and attention to detail is evident as soon as you enter and continues throughout the house. The bathroom is like a luxury spa retreat. The interior design is excellent. The Welcome Pack is the most thoughtful and generous I have experienced. Nice location to explore York and the surrounding area. The owners are kind, welcoming and there if you need anything - but not intrusive. Thank you for sharing River View with us.

    It is equipped with everything you need and more! The situation is great, a few minutes drive from the park and ride for York, (if you don’t know York I would use it) and in the middle of a large village. A shop, restaurants and pubs are all close by. The owners are on hand and are very welcoming and left a wonderful welcome pack for us.

    Real home from home with everything that you could possibly need. Location is fantastic for so many places. Graham is a fantastic host and the cottage is furnished (gorgeous interior) and equipped for all your needs. A welcome pack was provided and a lot of thought was put into it for our teenagers to enjoy as well as ourselves. A prompt visit to see if we had settled in by Graham led to him giving us a bottle of processo which was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend this cottage to any family or group of friends to enjoy. The village had bakers/butchers/pharmacy and a choice of pizza, Indian and Chinese takeaway. Although a pub is next door it was very quiet at night. Would 100% return.

About the location

STAMFORD BRIDGE

York 8.5 miles.

Stamford Bridge, as its name suggests, was a fording point over the River Derwent for a Roman settlement. Nowadays, it is a village with a selection of shops and restaurants and is notable for a renovated railway viaduct, which is now used as a cycle and public footpath. The village is well known as the site of the Battle of Stamford Bridge on 25th September 1066, which marked the end of the Viking era in Britain. Within easy reach are the pretty Yorkshire market towns of Malton, Beverley and Driffield and within an hour’s drive is the unspoilt coastal resort of Filey with open beaches and the nearby RSPB nature reserve at Bempton.
