58 Marygate. A beautiful and central 300 year old, 4 bedroom cottage.

58 Marygate, York (white cottage on the left in the picture) is a 300 year old cottage that has been recently completely renovated to a high standard, whilst retaining its original period features and charm.

It has a superb view from the front of the house over the entrance to the Museum Gardens and St Olaves Church.
Marygate is a fascinating, attractive street in a central York location. It is not too busy, so it is quiet at night. It's location makes it an ideal base to explore all of York's many attractions, all are within easy walking distance / Minster 5 mins walk, main shopping areas 5 minutes walk through the Museum Gardens.

The cottage has been equipped and furnished to a high standard incorporating a hand made kitchen with quartz work surfaces and Smeg and Neff appliances.

Bathrooms feature travertine tiles, duravit sanitary ware and hansgrohe rain showers. The main bathroom also has a freestanding bath.

The lounge has a period Georgian fireplace with solid oak flooring, comfy sofas and 2 leather arm chairs, there is a 40" Flat screen TV.

Bedrooms include quality beds and soft, top quality cotton bedding. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed and an en suite bathroom with a great view at the front of the house. Also at the front of the house is bedroom 2 with a kingsize bed again with a great view over the front. At the back of the house is the dormer bedroom with 2 single beds and a nice view down Marygate Lane. There are flat screen TV's in all the 3 upstairs bedrooms. Downstairs is the fourth bedroom with bunk beds suitable for adults or kids.

Outside is a small courtyard area with patio furniture and planters.

There is a fast WIFI connection.

There is a large 24hr secure car park to the rear of Marygate, (1 min walk, £22 a day) Alternatively, I rent a space on Micklegate for £10 a day. Other parking deals can be found on YourParkingSpace or JustPark.

We also have a high chair, lightweight pushchair, fold down cot and toys/activities in the cottage for our guests with babies/toddlers.

There is the excellent Star Inn The City restaurant in the Museum Gardens opposite the house 2 minutes walk away. Also, the highly acclaimed Roots restaurant is just 4 doors down Marygate. The rest of Yorks' restaurants are just a short meander through the Museum Gardens, between a 5-10 minutes walkaway. There are two pubs on Marygate itself and a Sainsburys Local at the top of Marygate, 3 minutes walk away. The River Ouse is at the bottom of Marygate, a 1 minute walk away.

Regrettably we cannot accept bookings from stag or hen weekends as the property is in a quiet residential neighbourhood.

Wonderful place to stay in York

We felt immediately at home in this cosy and comfortable house. The beds were super comfy and kitchen well-equipped. The location was second-to-none, as we frequently wanted to pop back during the day with our purchases or just to rest weary feet! It was so convenient, with a short scenic walk through the park to the centre of town. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for all the useful information, Louise!

Girls trip to York

We had a fantastic stay in Louise's gorgeous cottage. Beautifully decorated, luxury bedding, comfy beds and just 5 mins from centre of York. Check in was easy and Louise allowed us a later checkout which tied in nicely with our train home. We have all agreed that we would love to come back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to others coming to York.

No better place to stay!

We stayed in Louise’s beautiful property while in York. We were members of a family ranging from 17-83. There was ample space for recreating, sleeping, eating in comfort, and the house was immaculate and cozy. Located across the quiet street from Museum gardens and a medieval church, a short walk from the riven Ouse, the setting was idylic.

Beautiful home and wonderful location

This home was the perfect spot for our visit to York. The Minster and Shambles were easy walks through the beautiful Museum Gardens and the Abbey ruins were just across the street. Shops were just up the block including a Sainsburys which was very handy to have close by. The home is quite charming with a well equipped kitchen and a nice sitting room where we could all gather in the evening.

Family of 8 over Easter Weekend

Absolutely lovely property, perfect location(close enough to everything but still quiet, low traffic). We visited from the US, traveling from Newcastle by rail- a short walk to and from the station. The cottage is in perfect condition and accommodated our family ranging from 4 to 75... grocery store up the end of the street allowed us to prepare meals at home and visit sites around York at our leisure. We could not be more happy with the experience!
