A stunning two bedroom detached property that is located just a minutes’ walk from York city centre. The property has some unique features for a rental in this location such as a garden area and parking for 2 cars.

Highly recommend

Moatside Gate is an excellent property in an ideal situation only 10 mins. walk from the Minster. Benefits from having 2 parking spaces
Only negatives - no tea towel or bathmats and only 4 small plates!
Boiler switched off when we arrived, but very comfortable once we had realised and put it back on.
Our 2nd visit and we will definitely return.
Many thanks

This property was exactly as we hoped it would be from the cleanliness of the rooms to the perfect location for York city centre.

The only downside was that the weather was hot for a couple of days during our stay and so a portable fan in the bedrooms would have been welcomed.

For me-great location for cycling.For George-secure parking.
me-Don’t like York,it is too busy.Don’t like Gillygate constant traffic and pollution.Love the outskirts-flat quiet roads for cycling.
Love walking away from York by the river..
Great property but onSunday night/Monday morning homeless person sleeping in undercroft.Thursday after noon/evening somebody ( not visiting us)packed in under Croft so our car could not be parked inside our gate
Would stay again. But missed the bath.

What a gem hidden away by the old city walls. Well equipped, very clean, comfortable and a perfect location just a short walk to the main sites in York. On-site parking a bonus too.

Great communication with Stays York helped everything go smoothly. Highly recommend

This is a great little house for us as two couples to meet up. Location is so convenient for exploring York, we were able to park the cars and walk everywhere. Glorious weather helped our experience, and the garden meant we could sit outside. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Moatside Gate, York. Just outside walls. Was easy to walk to everything. Place was quiet and comfortable. Has parking inside property gate if you have a small car but there is still a designated safe parking spot just outside entrance gate for a larger car.
Highly recommended.

The cottage is in an ideal location, was perfect for two couples and a dog and the parking available was a bonus.

Close enough to plenty of cafes and restaurants (many dog friendly) but well equipped for cooking at home as well. The cottage was cost and warm when we arrived which was lovely.

The courtyard and gates were great for the dog as there was safe outdoor space.

Would definitely visit again!

Moatside Gate is a winner on location, being minutes away from the centre of York. The property is warm and cozy, with the interior layout providing almost two separate double en suite rooms. Add to that a fully equipped kitchen, and there is nothing to fault with this beautiful little holiday getaway.

We have been coming to York for Christmas shopping for several years now and spent the last 3 here at Moatside. Lovely little cottage within easy walking distance from the city so we can just park up the car for the few days we are here. Always nice and clean and with all the amenities you need.

Lovely small cottage situated just outside the city walls a brisk 10 minute walk from the heart of York. The cottage has all the facilities you will need and we found it warm and comfortable. There is parking for 2 cars but you may struggle if you had 2 large cars. The cottage is bright and modern with a small seating area outside. Would certainly consider staying again if we return to York.

The property was very convenient for the bus service and very well equipped. It was clean, modern, and very spacious considering the size of the property.

It was good to have parking available, and we felt very secure being a gated property. However, once the car was parked, we had to squeeze between the car and a large bush which we believe to be bamboo. As we had rain most evening, upon exiting the property each morning we got wet. I do believe this bush should be cut back or re-sited

Unlike some previous people who have stayed at Moatside we did not find the lack of darkness during the night whilst sleeping to be a problem however, we were informed by email by Stay’s York that the property has two king-size beds. In reality, the property has one king-size bed and one normal sized double bed. Not good if the holidaymaker is used to a larger bed.

We would return to the property again and use Stay’s York again but perhaps they could become more au fait with the finer details of the property.

Tucked away in the middle of some apartments is this little cottage. Good level of equipment with everything you should need for a mini break. The main town is just over 5 minutes away, The parking area is for smaller cars (which is stated in the property description) but driven very carefully I managed to fit our F-Pace in.....just!!
Very minor issues I know but the mattress in the bedroom felt like it was a cheaper sprung one and the skylight, while having a blind fitted was too high to reach so we couldn't close it.

My Husband, Daughter and I come to York every December for the Christmas experience. This is our 3rd stay at Moatside Gate. It is convenient for the shops and restaurants. It has always been clean and well equipped. This year they have made some improvements to the bathrooms, installing a shower in one instead of a bath and overhead shower and upgraded the shower in the other, which are much better. We will be back again next year, all being well, and hope to stay here again.

Accommodation was fine. Comfy beds/good bathrooms, lovely and warm. Could have done with dish cloth in welcome pack. Position re York really good. Parking we did have someone block us in for a while (something to be aware of) . Reason for low score on customer service was WiFi not consistent. Was told router would be replaced (as WiFi not working ) during in stay if left key for access which we did( told would happen Friday , it didn’t then told would be Saturday but that didn’t happen either). Had temporary Wifi which didn’t work very well initially and then stopped completely on second day of stay and I had a teams meeting about my son in residential care which disconnected mid meeting.

Lovely cottage with well thought out use of space including the outside area! I felt the write up could have been honest about it’s location. Felt I was staying in a courtyard garden of a bunch of flats. The blinds in the room are pointless (bedroom ones let in too much light, others aren’t complete blinds). Very noisy but expected being where it is. Lovely cottage, fairly clean, really close to most areas. Just shame about the wrap around flat scenario

Great place if you want to go cycling every day.Yorkis too busy and crowded,The walk into town via Gillygate is disappointing because of the traffic and the constant traffic jam causes pollution.Moatside court property is fine.Little garden.Small car can be parked within the gate. Don’t know if we will stay here next year.

We have been coming to York from Somerset for many years now for our Christmas shopping. We love it here. This is the second year we have stayed at Moatside Gate. It is convenient for the shops and restaurants. The house is well equipped and clean. The only thing missing was a few Christmas decs but I assume because of Covid this was not possible. Will be back in 2022 hopefully if all goes well.

Moat side Gate was the perfect property for our stay in York, especially with private off road and secure parking which was the reason we chose this cottage. Everything about the property was spotlessly presented, I would certainly chose to stay there again,but only if prices were at pre 2021, I was fortunate to have booked when I did in December 2020. The current charges are extortionate.

Moatside Court is a lovely cottage with private access and outside space. However we did encounter some issues whilst we were there.
The beds for us were to soft and the pillows were lumpy and definately could do with being upgraded to better quality. We also felt that due to the heat the duvets were to heavy and possibly a lighter option could be available.
The bin schedule was out of date and one of the bins was overflowing when we arrived and unfortunately we had to leave the remaining one full as we had missed the uplift. We reported this to the letting agency and they said they would look into this for us.
When we came back after a day out twice to find the gate was open and we had definately closed it behind us. The agency informed us that no one else had access to the property then we were told that the neighbour had and also the cleaners did!! so that was a bit off putting for us.
If these things were sorted out we would not hesitate in returning to the property.

Our third visit to this property and is looking a little tired with downlighters loose in the lounge. Still poor blinds in the bedroom Allowing light from the street light to cause too much light making a good night sleep difficult. A lot of noise from the locality with frequent sirens from the ambulances as the hospital is nearby. Ideal for York, easy walking and good parking for two cars. All on one level and two bed/two bath makes it ideal for two couples. A bit pricey we now feel and will look for other options in the area if we do York again.

A fantastic property just 5 minutes walk from the Minster and 10 minutes from the centre. Felt very homely and had everything that we needed. Was very secure with the electric gate and walled courtyard. A great location.
Would just say it needed one or two updates and a king size bed would be better, but would thought recommend and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot to see York - the centre is just 5 to 10 minutes walk. Great to have a parking space although tricky to get into it at night especially as the plants are overgrown and set of your reversing sensors!
Well appointed and warm and comfortable inside. Kitchen well equipped but do bring a good corkscrew with you if you like wine.

This place is ideal for a short break in York, parking, short walk to the centre, clean, excellent facilities, comfortable.
Only two issues, the bed in the rear bedroom is showing signs of wear as my daughter said she could feel the springs. The other point is the lack of decent curtains in the bedroom. With there being a street light outside, the bedroom is light all night and with early morning sun in May it was light at 4:30 am. So decent blackout curtains would help to get a full night sleep.

Stayed at Moatside Gate for a week in October/November. A very very well equipped house that was very cosy and warm in a cold period of weather.
Excellent situation five minutes walk from The Minster.

The apartment is in a great location and as a whole a very enoyabe stay. Just a couple of little niggles. The mattress in the back bedroom is very worn and you can feel the springs starting to come through. Also the grill and coffee machine hadn't been cleaned properly. Wouldn't stop us staying again though as everything else was fine - just a new mattress and a little more attention to detail needed!

Moatside Gate was an absolutely charming cottage, located very close to town with countless nearby pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, and beautiful Minster. Everything was as promised with added bonus of weekly cleaning service because we were there for an extended stay. The only area of comfort that I feel could be improved would be changing one of the double beds to either a queen size or two singles. Being from Canada we found a few little unfamiliar quirks around the place but these were soon sorted out with an email or by popping ‘round to the management office where they were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the property and will be booking it myself again next year. Thanks York Stays!

Moatside gate is an upscale cottage with a modern, well-equipped kitchen and two comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms in a split-floor plan configuration.. The location is excellent, being walkable to the Minster, the old city and the rail station. The hosts provided helpful local information and replied promptly to our questions. We would love to stay there again.

What a great location! Walk to everything in either direction: restaurants, sights, shopping. No problem with noise at night. Internet worked well, as did TV. We parked the car in the driveway and only used it for day trips outside of York. Loved having our "own" home, with all the amenities for cooking at home. Modern yet cozy. Very comfortable bed, spotlessly clean bathrooms. Great clothes washer, all flatware seemed new and shiny. Nice welcome tray with coffee, tea and chocolates. Full size fridge. Minor: A bit of trouble with the wrong gate code at first, but our call to customer service was answered immediately, very impressed. We finally found the fireplace controls in the front under a panel, but could not get it to work. Would absolutely come back to this home, and have recommended it to friends. It would be perfect for two couples.

Most side Gate is ideally located to the centre of York. A quick 5 minute walk and you are in the city centre.
The house is lovely cannot fault it in anyway. Very comfortable with everything you could need. Lovely outside area which in summer would be lovely to sit out in the evenings.
