Sympathetically renovated to retain the character and history of the original well-loved book shop, THE BOOKCLUB is a unique place to stay in the heart of the City. The property has been beautifully renovated with much thought given to every detail. The property sleeps two and includes an outside area, parking in its own private garage, a lounge and a snug (which is equipped with a record player and record collection). It is situated in one of the best areas in York, full of places to eat, drink and shop, all independents and packed full of hidden gems. Please note, that the garage dimensions are 1.97 meters high and the width is 2.15 meters.

Amazing find for a short break

The Boookclub is a great find. Conveniently located, it has been cleverly designed to creat an amazing, very effective and very comfortable place to stay.
A very pleasant contrast to hotels.
The heating worked well. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom spacious and the shower powerful.
The kitchen was clean and very functional. Two reception areas were great, and the vinyl collection downstairs was a winner. Being able to extend outside to the naughty corner was a great addition.
The bookclub is a great find and well located. Plenty of places to eat nearby and the secure garage less than two minutes walk away was perfect in the town centre.
A great place for couples.

One thing to note - wax ear plugs are a must. The bedroom is at the front of the building, and overnight the road can be very noisy both with students or vehicles. We stayed two nights, and the second night was bliss!!!
Don’t let this put you off, just some advice. The Bookclub is really worth considering. We will definitely come and stay again.

We have stayed in York many times but always in a hotel. This time around we came across the Bookclub and took the plunge to try something different. What an amazing place, the extra space and facilities were perfect for us. Perfectly located as only 5 minute walk into the Shambles but lots of restaurants, cafes etc right on the doorstep. We will hopefully stay again on our next visit. I should also add that the garage parking was very well located near the house. For those with a larger car we fitted a Volvo V90 in the garage albeit it was a tight fit!

Lovely place to stay, clean and tidy, incredibly convenient location (lots of great places to est nearby) and really handy to have somewhere to park.
The Snug was especially great in the hot weather as a cool place to escape and chill out!

Two points for improvement:
- the location of the entrance to the garage area could have been made clearer, pictures are provided but it isn't clear where on Walmsgate it is. Reference points such as the shops either side would have been useful.
- as much as the open plan bedroom/bathroom is nice, as that includes the toilet a sliding frosted screen would be nice for some privacy.

There were also some workmen in the back area on the morning we left, wouldn't have been an issue as they were outside except that all the windows were open due to the hot weather and they were using a ladder next door, so not great for privacy. An advanced warning would have been appreciated.

We loved The Bookclub for our 4 day trip to York. Beautifully furnished with everything you need, and in an ideal location for exploring the delights of York. We were max. 15 mins walk from everything.
The Snug was fantastic for retreating to for a movie. We’ll definitely look to book this again on future trips to York
