Ashley House is a beautiful property, believed to be an old 19th century toy shop, spanning four floors each oozing character and charm. Inspired by the house's history we have made places to hide, play games, make and imagine or simply relax and snuggle up with a book.

We aim to offer our guests the experience they may be looking for now. A place that is safe and spotlessly clean, cozy and comforting and full of things to spend time staying at home doing together. The house has been extensively renovated and we are really proud of our house and are looking forward to once again welcoming guests.

We have five bedrooms and can sleep up to ten guests. There are two bathrooms and two en-suites.

Our house is located just south of the ancient walls of York in the famous Bishy Road area, with its fantastic range of cafes and independent shops. We are just a 10-15 minute walk into the city center and a few minutes' walk from the river.

This is our guests' favorite part of York, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

The house is situated in a quiet neighbourhood and just a few minutes walk from "Bishy Road" - the award winning High Street with great cafes and shops. During the daytime there are some great cafes to choose from - 'The Pig and Pastry' with its amazing cakes, 'Trinacria' with its delicious homemade Italian icecream and 'Stanley and Ramona' with its great coffee. During the evening you can dine out at the Thai Restaurant 'Rice Style' or grab a pizza at 'The Angel on the Green.'
