1 Monkbar Mews is a brick-built duplex arranged over two floors, positioned where the ancient city walls form the backdrop to the first-floor living quarters. The ground floor holds all three bedrooms: a double with its own ensuite bathroom, two further doubles, and a separate shower room. Upstairs, bi-folding doors and roof windows open the living and dining space to daylight and those wall views, with a contemporary kitchen equipped for proper cooking rather than holiday shortcuts.
The apartment sleeps six and comes as an entire property to yourself. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; there is parking for one car on site. Monkbar gateway stands at the door—the Minster is a short walk away, and from here you can reach the Jorvik Viking Centre, Castle Museum and National Railway Museum on foot. The Museum Gardens and Rowntrey Park, both beside the River Ouse, offer somewhere to pause during a day exploring the city. No smoking throughout the property.

We had a wonderful stay, although the weather was awful, it made all the difference knowing we had our warm apartment to come back to. It was spotlessly clean and finished to a high standard. There was everything we needed and it was very comfortable all round. The doorstep was a little bigger than I'd thought but as an ambulatory wheelchair user I coped with it, they had told me about it. The communication from them was professional yet friendly. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Hi this a good place to stay for 5 days. The location is brilliant, just outside the city walls near Monk Bar Gate, so everything was within walking distance. However, we were expecting to do a food shop at Sainsbury's which, according to the visitor info in the apartment, was 5 minutes walk away. Sainsbury's is closed! apparently some time ago. Nearest food-store now appears to be ASDA or Waitrose. Both require a car journey. The kitchen/dining/lounge is well proportioned and comfortable. It would benefit from having a cupboard for dry foodstuff. We struggled with two small children to stop them from unpacking the bags! The ground floor bedrooms were comfortable if a little small. There was no place for storing clothes other than a tiny hanging rail. The ground floor rooms had a skylight roof light which is fine except that the blind was manually controlled by standing on the bed to open/close it. It would benefit from a self-closing mechanism for the mature guests. The bathrooms were clean and ok except for the wash hand basin. It was impossible to shave without lots of water ending up on the floor. The basins are far too small! The entrance door to our apartment is part of a bi-fold door system which I expect would be great in the summer months but the door was very difficult to open and close. The external paved area between the car parking area and the apartment was very slippy and required extreme care to negotiate. A small salt bin would have been a good idea. I hope my comments are taken in the spirit of constructive criticism. We would certainly return in future.

Had a lovely stay for new year. The apartment had everything we needed..very comfortable beds and really big..lovely and warm.. no noise at all. I would have given 5 star. Our only criticism was the shower over the bath, could not control the temperature to be cooler. The water was so hot could not stand under properly, and one of the showers downstairs the opposite , could not get hot water. Apart from that fab. Would go back..
