*A COMPLETELY SELF-CONTAINED ANNEXE AND A PRIVATE PLACE FOR YOU TO STAY!* Treat yourselves and stay at 'The Old Ironmongers'. Sleep in a fabulous 6ft (super-king) bed with a super thick 13-inch mattress and high-quality linens. The newly-renovated ensuite is fitted with a powerful shower: luxury towels and toiletries are provided. You’ll have access to a super-fast (up to 70Mb/s) fibre broadband network and an internet enabled, HD TV, plus complimentary access to Netflix too. Over the last two decades, we have lived in Bangkok and Hong Kong and we now find ourselves in York, and are loving our lives here. It is certainly different to Asia, but it has a certain distinct charm all of its own that draws you in and makes you feel instantly welcome and at home. Mike and I travel and we love it! We enjoy discovering new places, whether it's a beautiful statue, a craft beer bar or a view to die for! We also know how critical it is to have a haven to return to at the end of each day exploring. So, with that in mind, we've recreated the annexe next to our home. It is designed to give you everything you need to relax, chill and sleep well: whatever your day has entailed. Whilst there is no kitchen, we provide tea and coffee-making facilities, a fridge (with an ice box), crockery, cutlery, mugs, glasses and a bottle opener. Milk, tea, coffee, sugar, juice and a continental style breakfast will be left in your room. We have also provided a microwave in the annexe incase you prefer to eat in. With 'ready meals' available either a short walk away or a 5 minute drive to an M&S Food hall it gives you more options for dining. Please also note that there is no sofa in the space but 2 armchairs for your weary bones. You have your own entrance gate to 'The Old Ironmongers' and your own private courtyard to enjoy too. The Old Ironmongers is a short 15-minute drive to the historic city of York, or a 25-minute ride on the bus (Bus stop 1 minute away). Every time we visit York (quite often!) it still brings a smile to our faces. It’s such an easy, walkable city centre, steeped in history, and a veritable feast for the eyes with beautiful riverside walks and stunning architecture to gaze at. It is overflowing with things to do with a plethora of museums, theatres, restaurants and traditional pubs (many hundreds of years old) and newer bars too. It’s a shopper’s paradise as well! If it is a quiet few days you are looking for, our village has some lovely gentle walks along the River Foss, or a stroll across the common and a woodland area, or a gentle walk from a nearby village all the way into York with a lovely cafe stop along the way. We have three pubs in our village – two within easy walking distance, one in fact that is right next door to our house! Below I have listed the other village amenities too.
