Located in one of York’s handiest addresses for holidaymakers, Spencer on the Lane is in an ideal location for your visit. Stay here, opposite the ancient Roman walls, and you can plan stress-free sightseeing like the Vikings once plotted their plunders! Bursting with museums, history and food, the city centre or riverside are barely five minutes away on foot with the infamous Shambles and York Minster a further 15-minute stroll.
Spencer on the Lane is situated just off thriving Bishopthorpe Road, which was once named as Britain's best high street. It is a cute, vibrant spot where you will find restaurants, gelaterias, quality cafes and handy greengrocers.
On arrival you will find freshly baked cakes awaiting in the convivial living room which is a wonderful space for relaxing in the evening after a day exploring the wonders of York. There is a large Smart television with entertainment provided through Freeview channels, Britbox, Disney+ and Netflix and high-speed broadband throughout the property. The separate, open plan kitchen dining area is equipped with everything you will need; not just mod-cons like a large fridge-freezer, but dishwasher liquid and considerate store-cupboard staples.
The master bedroom on the first floor has a zip and link super king double bed, which can also be configured as a twin if required, chest of drawers and hanging space. There are two further bedrooms both with double beds on the second floor. All three bright bedrooms boast black-out blinds, ample storage and USB charging ports.
All three bedrooms share this first-floor bathroom which is equipped with both a ‘slipper’ bath and a separate walk-in shower, basin and WC; the underfloor heating also adds an extra dose of luxury here. There is a separate cloakroom also available on this floor.
Outside in the courtyard, a rare private haven in this central location, there is a table and bench seating to enjoy an alfresco aperitif.
Exploration is likely to focus on York, but wider adventures are also a cinch. It is just ten minutes’ walk to York station, from which trains serve pretty Harrogate and foodie Malton, or you can usually drive to sandy beaches, the Moors or Dales within an hour.
