We spent a really enjoyable 3 night stay in York recently. We found the apartment to be convenient, comfortable, clean & well equipped. It was a very short walk to the city walls with a co-op store being very close for all the things we needed during our stay. Parking was free on the street & we had no issues getting space close to the apartment. Check in was easy & the communication from the owner was good. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but felt they would have been easy to contact if needed. The city centre is within a short & easy walk. We also enjoyed a meal at the nearby Chinese restaurant & excellent 'fish & chips' from the local chippy. Both of which are within a very short walk.
All in all, cannot recommend highly enough, excellent stay!

Lovely.
Conway Cottage was comfortable and close to York centre. We loved being able to walk everywhere. There was a supermarket close by if we needed anything too.
The owners were in contact and it was just right for us.

Lovely apartment
This is a lovely one bedroom apartment with lounge, kitchen, and shower room/wc.
It is approximately ten minute walk to centre of York and has several shops, supermarkets and places to get takeaways on your doorstep. It is a very clean apartment and the owners have done a lovely job of adding nice finishing touches, eg vases, flowers, chocs etc. The kitchen is well equipped and you won't go short on utensils. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic place to stay
Conway cottage for us is absolutely ideal and excellent value. We've stopped at Barbican house which is next door and the owners showed us Conway cottage which we fell in love with immediately. Reasonably close to the centre with only a 10 minute walk to the shambles. The booking and contact with the owners is very professional and good communication throughout. We've stopped at Conway cottage now for 3 years running and Will be back each and every year. Barbican house and Conway cottage used to be owned by a lovely couple but have been sold on, i can only say that the new owners are very professional with extremely good communication and have kept the top standards of these 2 properties at the top of the scale. Extremely great value for money. See you in 2019 Conway cottage.

Fantastic!
Booked conway cottage for 3 nights tonight is our last night, I honestly could not fault this place it's spotlessly clean and decorated and furnished beautifully. It has everything you could ever need & more. Great location about a 10 minute walk to centre & jorvik centre etc. Supermarket 2 min walk away and a few fast food places and restraunts. Although it's on a main road it's so quiet at night and have had a great night sleep both nights. Bed is big and very comfortable, kitchen lovely and moderen and very well equipped, bathroom modern and very clean. Milk and orange juice in fridge on arrival is a nice little touch very much appreciated. There is a great folder full of information about the apartment and the surrounding Area. I could not recommended this place enough if we ever find ourselves in York again I would definetly like to stay here again. Will be recommending to friends & family. Thanks for a wonderfull stay.

Lovely apartment in a good location
Conway Cottage is decorated with a red roses theme lending it a warm and cozy ambience. All mod cons and lots of hot water working exactly as they should. Very convenient location just outside the city walls, an easy taxi ride from the railway station, near several bus routes and a nice walk from the city center. There is a grocery store a block away and some nice restaurants within an easy walk.

How to get there
From the A59
Once on the A59, ignore signs directing you to turn left for York City. When you reach Blossom Street, turn left and then right at Nunnery Lane. Turn left onto Bishopgate and keep on the main road with the City Wall on your left until you reach Paragon Street and the front of the Barbican Centre. At the corner of Paragon Street and Barbican Road, turn right and you will immediately see Barbican House, turn into Wellington Street and Conway Cottage is on your left.
From the A64
Once on the A64, keep on that road until you come to the SELBY and YORK A19 slip road (don't follow the 'A19 - THIRSK' sign which is before the SELBY sign). Once on the A19 proceed north passing through Fulford and look out for the Army Barracks on the right. Then follow the fork right sign for Hospital. This will take you along Cemetery Road. The name changes to Barbican Road after the first set of traffic lights. Barbican House is approximately 100 yards further on and is on the right hand side immediately before the next set of traffic lights, turn into Wellington Street and Conway Cottage is on your left..
