Welcome to The Cocoa Bean - step in, relax and chill out!

Located in a Grade II listed building on Rowntree Wharf, (this was originally a flour mill dating from the 1860s) then becoming Rowntree’s Cocoa Bean store in the 1930s, the apartment is an ideal base for your stay in York, whether for work or leisure. With its exposed brickwork and window looking towards the river Foss, the apartment offers a luxury hotel feel but with the flexibility of your own living and kitchen space. Please note we provide a check out time of 10.30am - it is specified as 10am on the listing as Airbnb settings only allow us to set it by the hour! Enjoy a busy day taking in the sights and shopping then pop back to get ready for a night on the town or just stay in and relax - stream your favourite TV, enjoy a glass of wine or even a meal with a view and watch the ducks swim past! Attention to detail and cleanliness is our priority at all times to ensure your stay is the best it can be. We aim to make sure everything is how we would want it to be if we were a guest.
