The Tansy House on Queen Street

Location, space and a lovely stay

Pros: Clean, tidy and well organised. Host communication was also great! There was even a cute cat!

Cons: The WiFi crashed once - I’m nitpicking as that was the only issues we had the whole time we were there.

Tansy House, lovely place to stay.

Pros: We would definitely recommend Tansy House. The place was clean, comfortable and a good size. We were very happy with our stay there. The tea and coffee was lovely. Parking for one car was extremely useful. Near to everything in York. Host was responsive and helpful.

Cons: The shower turned hot and cold frequently. We hired a cot, but no bedding or towels were supplied for the child.

Two night Tansy house stay.

Pros: When me and my family walked in to the house first impressions were it was clean and after looking around it was big enough for all six of us. We loved the cinema room and watched a few films and the hamper with tea and coffee in was nice. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfy, the house had everything we needed for a two night stay. My children loved the ice machine and we used the popcorn machine once. Thought there was no where to store luggage downstairs but it wasn't until we were going to leave that we noticed a large cupboard in the kitchen that we could of used. It would of been nice to write something in the guest book but there was no room. Would definitely stay there again as my children's favourite things were the ice machine and the cinema room.

Cons: There was a sign saying about not going out after 11pm because of the neighbours but one night the neighbours were making noise coming home late. Just some recommendations I think that there should be a thick curtain up just before you walk into the cinema room as it was annoying when you were watching a film and someone comes down the stairs and the lights come on which shines on the projector screen. Also my parents who are in their 70's stayed with me and my children in the house and they had no where to really watch TV apart from sitting at the kitchen table as the sofa was positioned underneath the TV. My parents came down to the cinema room but we all thought there needed to be a rail on the side of the wall as it is hard to walk down the last lot of stairs to the cinema room as there was nothing to hold on to. Also the bathroom door bolt upstairs didn't lock and didn't know where there was extra toilet roll so had to be nosey (which I hate doing) but found some in a basket on the shelf in the upstairs bathroom.

Very enjoyable.

Pros: Very accessible for visiting York. Very clean and had everything you needed. Having the key code was much easier than having a key as we weren’t all coming and going at the same time.

Cons: A bit noisy with people passing by mainly to and from the train station.

Couldn’t ask for anything more

Pros: Big Spacious House, Close to the train station and only a short walk into the city centre. Clear communication with the owners, Free parking, Cinema room was fantastic and loads of little nice touches in the house

Chilled family break

Pros: Brilliant location, everything is in walking distance and great house. Really clear instructions for staying and checking out and kitchen is great.

Great location, had everything we needed and communication was excellent.

Pros: Location was good, very close to train station and had everything we needed. Within walking distance of the centre and lots of bars, cafes and shops close by.

Cons: The only minor thing was we were unable to get the television working, however as we were out most of the time it wasn’t a major issue.

Will definitely be using this as our base when we visit York in the future.

Pros: This was perfect for us, the cinema room was a great bonus. Beds were so comfy, lots of little touches added, very welcoming and lots of communication to make sure we knew what we were doing and that it suited our needs.

Cons: A second shower would come in handy but that’s being picky! Loved the property.

Lovely house and a great location for the station.

Pros: Loved the cinema room. Lovely hamper and Prosecco on arrival. It was our friends first experience of a house rental and they loved it and they want to do it again. The location was great and there were plenty of pubs bars and restaurants nearby as well as in the centre.

Lovely house, great location, excellent amenities & bonus parking space!

Pros: Lovely house with some quirky nick-naks which we loved. Excellent location - just outside the city wall and a few minutes from station. Traffic is very busy around York and parking is difficult - the parking space is a great addition. The bedrooms (2 on the top floor and 1 in the basement) were spacious and beds very comfortable. Kitchen was great - huge American style fridge freezer with cold water & ice, dishwasher and washing machine (which came in very useful when daughter arrived with her washing from uni!). Plenty of utensils, plates, glasses etc. Cinema room was a huge hit - we sat in there every evening watching TV and eating popcorn (courtesy of popcorn maker). Bathroom on 1st floor was compact but functional - shower had good power and was nice and hot. Plenty of towels and spares in wardrobe. Welcome hamper was a lovely surprise! Thanks for a great week.

Cons: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but if I had to be really picky: although there was a 2nd toilet in the basement which was useful, as there was only one bathroom, it could be awkward if everyone (there were 5 of us) wanted showers in the morning. Table or dressing table in bedrooms would be useful - dresser was great but only a small area to put things on. Some of the crockery wasn’t completely clean although think this was down to dishwasher arm not spinning properly - just needed putting back into place. House is on a busy road - didn’t bother us at all but if staying in summer with windows open, might be a bit noisy. These are only very minor issues and will not stop us returning.
