Priory House, No 9 - Three Bedroom Apartment, Sleeps 8

York, North Yorkshire

Priory House, located in York, North Yorkshire, is a Grade 2 listed building dating back to the 18th century. Originally two private townhouses, it was converted into apartments in 2006 while preserving many of its original features. The blend of historical charm and contemporary decor creates an inviting atmosphere for guests. The property offers three distinct apartments for short-term holiday rental, each equipped with fully fitted kitchens featuring granite work surfaces, and modern amenities such as wide-screen TVs, iPod docks, and complimentary wireless internet access.

Among the available accommodations, Apartment Nine stands out, located on the top floor and designed to accommodate up to eight adults across its 83 m² of space. It includes two double bedrooms—one with a king-size bed and another with two single beds—along with a flexible sleeping area that can be configured with a single bed that extends to a double. The lounge area is furnished with comfortable sofas, a TV with Freeview channels, and a log-burning fire, enhancing the cozy ambiance of the apartment. Guests can also enjoy picturesque views of the city, including landmarks like Clifford’s Tower and the City Walls, from the lounge windows.

The apartment's kitchen is fully equipped with essential appliances, including a hob, oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine/dryer, making it suitable for self-catering. A spacious dining area accommodates six people comfortably, ideal for family meals or gatherings. While there is a lift in the building, it does not reach the top floor, necessitating some stair navigation, which should be considered by guests with accessibility concerns. The property maintains a strict no smoking policy and does not allow pets or groups celebrating events like stag parties.

For guests traveling by car, parking is available for an additional fee of £10 per night, though spaces must be reserved in advance due to limited availability. Upon booking, guests will receive detailed directions and check-in information via email. Priory House is conveniently situated near local landmarks such as Micklegate Bar and York Dungeon, with natural attractions like Rawcliffe Country Park and Howardian Hills also within reach, making it an excellent base for exploring the rich history and beauty of York.
