    We loved that everything we needed was provided and the apartment was so well equipped with added unexpected touches. The location was 10 out of 10 and great onsite security parking. We loved having our own Courtyard with tables & chairs.

Philip and Mary Nelson
County House Retreat retains an atmosphere of a bygone era, ideally located with the minster only 4 minutes walk away. This splendidly furnished apartment basks in natural light, with high vaulted ceilings, a south facing patio and gated parking. Built as a charity hospital in 1850, it has now been converted, making a relaxing retreat. York is a living museum, with evidence of Roman, Anglo Saxon, Viking, Norman and Tudor visitors, yet is still a lively, modern city with shopping, tea shops, riverside pubs, restaurants and vibrant nightlife. The Yorkshire Dales and Moors National Parks, the Coast, as well as Durham and Harrogate are all an easy drive.
We have been hosting visitors since 2002 and since 2010 at County House Retreat, we still love making sure our visitors get those extra touches that make your stay special. We meet our guests on arrival, answer your questions, make sure you are settled and always leave you with our number so you have a local contact. We are increasingly finding visitors to other apartments who can't find the key or don't know how to access the parking and are lost. We have always met our guests because that gets your stay off to the best possible start.
