8.8Verified guest“I had a lovely stay at Spencer House in York. The house has everything you need for an easy self-catering break. Alistair gave me a warm welcome with homemade cake and fresh milk. The three-level house is roomy, with large bedrooms, a cosy lounge, and a fully equipped kitchen. It suits families and couples alike. I really liked the small outdoor area that gets the afternoon sun. The location is great, with a fantastic patisserie a few doors down and the city centre just a 10-minute walk away. The host checked in regularly to make sure all was well, and I was glad to find cleaning supplies, soap, towels, and more. I highly recommend this comfortable house in a great location.”
