York's compact centre sits within its famous medieval walls, with independent shops, restaurants and attractions within easy reach on foot. Minsters Reach Apartment One is positioned just outside this core, close enough for exploring but far enough to feel settled. A pub stands within a few hundred yards, and the city's main sights are a straightforward walk away.
The apartment occupies the ground floor of a gated courtyard building. Inside, an open-plan living and dining space flows into a properly equipped kitchen where you can cook real meals—electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher and the rest. The bedroom has a kingsize bed; the lounge contains a sofa bed suitable for a fourth guest. A walk-in shower and heated towel rail serve the single bathroom. Everything needed for a self-catering stay is here: wi-fi, heating, bed linen and towels are all included, and you'll find a welcome pack on arrival.
A courtyard garden with seating lets you step outside without leaving the property. The apartment suits couples, small families or friends wanting their own space in the city. Note that smoking is not permitted inside.

Very disappointing – unacceptable for £295 per night Apartment 4 | 27/12/2025 We arrived at 4pm to find the apartment not properly cleaned and not ready for check-in. Toilets, floors, cupboards, and surfaces were dirty and unhygienic, which was especially worrying as we were travelling with children. Although we contacted the property immediately and someone attended briefly, only the beds were changed (not the sofa bed) and the cleaning was superficial. The apartment was still not hygienically clean. As it was already 6pm and we had children with us, we had no choice but to buy cleaning products and clean the apartment ourselves. For £295 per night, this standard is completely unacceptable. We would not stay here again. A £150 deposit was also charged after payment and refunded two days later, not after checkout as is usually standard.

To start, the unit is tidy and moderately close to the old town in York. There are lots of shops to explore, and some very good food on offer at the Duke of York pub (I'd give it a 5/5!). I wouldn't be surprised if the unit has been recently remodelled or refitted: quite a lot of the appliances and fittings show very little indication of wear, the general feel of the place is good We were a little disappointed in that it lacked some of the "trivial basics" such as salt and pepper. The bed in the bedroom is comfortable, and the pull out sofa bed is apparently more comfortable than expected, though my son didn't go into more detail.

I can't recommend Minster's Reach highly enough! Stunning apartment in a perfect location. Situated just a few minutes walk to the city centre (but far enough away that it is very peaceful) and the car park is situated immediately behind the apartment. The beds are extremely comfortable and the apartment was very well equipped and had everything that we needed. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in York!
