Well located family house in YORK, Great Britain

Come and see why Yorkshire was chosen for the Grand Depart of the Tour de France 2014, and named by Lonely Planet as one of the top 3 destinations in the world for 2014. York is the historic centrepiece of this amazing English county. It's a beautiful city set in stunning and varied Yorkshire, with lots to see and do, as well as being linked by train directly to London, Edinburgh and many other wonderful towns. Our home is over 100 years old and full of character, but very comfortable, easy to manage and convenient. It's a 25 minute walk to the famous York Minster, but opposite a golf course and with nearer shops and a bus, every 10 minutes, that takes only 5 minutes to the centre of York. There's a small, secluded, walled garden, ideal for barbecues or sitting out. From the 4 large bedrooms there are views over fields, trees and a small lake, so you can feel relaxed and much further away from the city. We have WiFi, books, games and television for when you don't want to visit one of the 3 cinemas, 3 theatres, concert halls, many museums, pubs, clubs or restaurants. There is nearly always a festival in York, or nearby as well as country shows and events which are for locals and visitors alike. We also now have a holiday home on the North Yorkshire coast which means a 2 centre holiday could be planned for you and could give us flexibility over dates. To see photos of this google Mary Lyth Whitby. From there the famous coastal path and the North York Moors provide stunning views for walkers.
