Welcome Lets | Holiday Lets & Serviced Accommodation in York

North American Traveller Review. As I say in other reviews, if you’re from NA you will need to get used to the incredibly small dimensions of any rental accommodation in the UK. This is no different. However, having said that - the rental was clean, well suited and very nice. Quiet at night as well. We could see the Wall from our backyard. Size-wise, our suitcases were in the living room because there was no room for them in the bedroom. The only table to eat at was in the glassed-in conservatory at the back because the kitchen was so small even 2 people couldn’t fit. Again, however, this is normal and not specific to this unit but you should be aware and plan accordingly. The people at the corporation operating the rental were uniformly pleasant and helpful. The unit comes with a book of Operating Instructions. Which is absolutely required. For example, in NA if you wish to use the broiler on the oven you turn a labelled dial to Broil. Done. But in order to do the same thing here it required the manipulation of a Byzantine series of 3 dials including symbols and numbers and colours that had to be exactly correct, with no language on the oven itself. Guessing how to do this would have been hilariously impossible without the instructions. Also, from a NA traveller perspective oddities abound. There is a washing machine for clothing - but no dryer. The bathroom sink hot and cold are separate spouts so you cannot wash your hands in warm water - it’s either cold or very hot - take a choice. There is no mirror over the bathroom sink so when shaving or putting on woman’s makeup - you have to guess. You can’t just turn on a radiator for heat, the thermostat on the wall needs to be turned up first to above the current room temperature and then the radiators will work if they, in turn, are turned up. No issues per se, but it does add a layer we are not used to after a long day. Having said all of this no complaints. Very nice spot. Nice helpful people. Clean and tidy. Enjoyable.
