This was our eighth visit to Baille Hill House. It is in an excellent location with only a short walk into the centre of York and the house itself is very well equipped. Parking for two cars is also an added bonus. The property itself is beautifully maintained with a very homely feeling. We cannot fault it and hope to return yet again.
