And Then There Were Nuns

And Then There Were Nuns: North Yorkshire

Modern and bright, this stylish flat has plenty of room to make yourself at home. Big windows overlook the bustling Bishopthorpe Road in the living room and a squishy sectional sofa is ideal for stretching out after a long day on your feet. Pad into the eat-in kitchen when you're feeling peckish, as it's well-stocked with everything you need to rustle up a meal. Share a bottle of wine around the table in the window – also a great spot for playing board games and working from home – before nodding off to sleep in the comfortable bedroom. We love this location – there are plenty of independent shops, cafes and eateries along Bishopthorpe Road to take advantage of, and York's ancient city walls are just moments away. If green space is what you crave, Rowantree Park along the River Ouse is a ten-minute walk, but the real draw here is York Minster and the historic city centre – easily reachable in less than twenty minutes on foot.

Home truths:
*One guest can sleep on the sofa bed in the living room *This home is right off a busy road and it can get a little noisy *This home has a private entrance but it's located on the first floor, so you'll have to climb some steps *The dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace *There's no parking provided, but a car isn't necessary here as everything is within walking distance – if you do drive, you can pay to park in a lot off-site
