The city of York is a wonderful town, with a huge array of activities. Once known as Jorvik, this vibrant town was a major Viking centre of commerce and boasts a huge selection of architecture from a variety of historical periods. From the city walls to the charming shopping street known as The Shambles, York has something for everybody. There are various cruises available down the river Ouse and visitors can enjoy the National Railway Museum, the Castle Museum and Betty's Tea Rooms – home of Yorkshire Tea and an incredibly unique mirror from the Second World War on which service men visiting the café could write their names with a diamond-tipped ‘pen'. Further afield are the Yorkshire Dales and Moors as well as the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey, making this an incredibly diverse destination.
Reviews
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful in the cottage with all the facilities you would expect. Very good cleaning standards throughout. "
"This is a quality barn conversion, we really liked the layout, it was quirky and it had plenty of natural light. It is in very peaceful surroundings - sitting out on the patio in the morning with a coffee, the countryside views, and the sound of birds tweeting was just idyllic. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were a few food basics, and cleaning products provided. Towels weren't provided but we weren't fussed about bringing our own. The upstairs en-suites had large walk in showers which was lovely and there was plenty of hot water. A shower over the bath downstairs would be a bonus. We all slept comfortably, our only complaint would be that a couple of the pillowcases were a bit worn. Overall, a good base for exploring York and the surroundings. For us, as a family, it worked out much cheaper than staying in York itself and it felt like a home from home."
"This is a cracking cottage, an excellent barn conversion with all the amenities you could ask for. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, although the downstairs bathroom does not have a shower, so you need to borrow a different bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped, with great sized fridge freezer, washing machine that has a 30min quick wash and a separate dryer. The cottage has a good boiler with great pressure, so is warm and the showers will leave you happy! We were an extended family of 6, over three generations, and we all liked it. The location is outside of Stamford Bridge, just a 2 mile drive or 20min walk, although the local speed along the road, so not so sure about the walking. The coop is open 6am-10pm every day, so easy to grab any essentials. (We ordered an Asda delivery before we left and got it delivered the evening we arrived, without any issues). There is no wifi in the property, so gear yourself up before you go (or have a proper holiday!) Our only concern that let our holiday down was the neighbours dogs - they are put into a run infront of this property every morning around 7.30am, and the poor springer then spends the next 20mins or so barking repeatedly. Was a great reliable alarm, if you wanted one! The dogs themselves are lovely and friendly, and appear allowed to wander around at night once the neighbours let them out the run. Overall, a really nice cottage, in a good location for accessing York and beyond, but will debate returning due to the alarm call..."
"Wow what gem!!! The owners welcomed us on arrival and made us feel so welcome and gave us tips on where to eat out etc. The cart shed is spacious,well apponted and full of character,lovely views over open yorkshire countryside and so very quiet too. Great fitted kitchen,everything you would want,wonderfull hot showers and comfy beds,what more could you want!! Close to some great attractions,park and ride for york up the road and some wonderfull pubs in the area for superb food,try the Golden cup at caton and the 3 cups in stamford bridge. We will certainly be back in the future,Thankyou once again"
"Phoned the day before to arrange key collection. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The cottage was fabulous, a lovely, well thought out conversion, with an en suite to each bedroom and equipped with everything that could be needed. It was extremely clean. The enclosed courtyard was handy for the dogs but also a really good sized grassed garden with direct access to the cottage. It was centrally heated heated with good insulation, so very warm too. We were three generations, and the cottage was great for all of us. We wanted somewhere just outside York, so we could visit the city during the day. Stamford Bridge (about 2 miles from the cottage, had a co-op (that we used), fish and chip shop, a couple of pubs and more amenities (which we didn't use) that were all very handy. The Yorkshire Wolds Trail about 8 miles to the east (just over the hill you can see from the dining room window) was a good walk, you can park at the picnic area and then cross the A166. The Cart Shed is even better than the pics. Warm, well equipped and clean with really nice owners, lovely views and a great layout., i would love to stay again and for longer!"
"Will be back next year. One of the top that we have stayed at. Fantastic view of farm lands. Great bathrooms. Fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic."
"Friendly owners, good facilities. pity it is away out of York and no Hi Fi. Very friendly dog owned by neighbours. Would recommend this property to those thar have transport."
"After a dismal journey from Hertfordshire, my daughter, son-in-law and I arrived at the Cart Shed feeling tired and jaded. We were met by the owners who welcomed us cheerily. The cottage was even better than we had expected with every possible convenience and real luxury. The heating was more than adequate so that we were soon warm. Unfortunately the dishwasher had been out of operation for a while and the previous visitors hadn't washed up very well so we had to wash cups before we could have a drink and plates before our evening meal. Nevertheless the kitchen was very well fitted and spacious enough for us all to be involved in the cooking. The beds were extremely comfortable and we all slept well. My son-in-law's family live in and around York so we were able to see them all from our comfortable base at the cottage. All it lacked was an open fire to compensate for the awful weather, and some recognition that it was Christmas. Other cottages we have rented at this time of year have had a Christmas tree and some holly - a small expense to make it extra special."
"We stayed at the cart shed in early November for a long weekend. It's pure luxury! Lovely spacious bedrooms,nice open plan kitchen,fantastic views, would definitely recommend.the only gripe I had was when my 5 year old son saw a swing in the garden and went on it and suddenly a very unhappy and grumpy man appeared saying its his garden ! Well how was my 5 year old son supposed to know that ?! I'm sure we can't have been the first to have had this problem and I think it needs addressing , apart from that it was a fantasic weekend."
"Stayed at The Cart Shed in June. Lovely location beautiful sunsets. Jeff and Shirley lovely people. The accomodation was first class and it was a lovely relaing stay."
"The cart shed was furnished to a very high standard, with good views over fields. Easy 20 mins walk along a not too busy road into the nearest village, which has lots of history, great walks, great cafe and even better whisky shop! Highly recommended!"
