About Minstergate

Set in the city of York, this characterful and quirky medieval cottage has views of York Minster.

For a city break with a difference, try this quirky medieval cottage. It sits in the historic city of York with views over the mighty York Minster. Brimming with character inside, you’ll find wonky beams, sloping floors and a Georgian staircase that was added at a later stage.

Step outside and get lost in York’s winding alleyways. Explore its array of shops, markets and restaurants as well as the Theatre Royal, Castle Museum, York Art Gallery and Minster. You’ll also be close to the overhanging buildings and narrow cobbled streets of The Shambles. Definitely a must see.

With so much to do in York you might struggle to leave, but it’s worth the effort. Just a half hours’ drive will take you into the heart of the Yorkshire countryside. Don’t miss the picturesque towns of Helmsley and Thirsk.
