Baille Hill house is a lovely house in a lovely area. It has everything you need for your stay. Having a wc/bathroom on every level was ideal. We walked into York centre every day, as it's not too far. We found a great hotel for a delicious roast only 4 minutes away! All my family loved it and we will definitely go back and stay there. If theres 10 of you I highly recommend this house.

All good. Great location with local shops and easy access to York centre. The house and all facilities were clean and good for our group which included two toddlers. So all eminently suitable for our needs.
