Tucked in an ancient courtyard where the first Norman house was built in the 12th century, these holiday apartments overlook York Minster. Situated behind the Trembling Madness pub, both have free Wi-Fi throughout. The Old Gallery apartments have a 3D TV with Sky channels, and come with an iPod docking station. Each has a kitchen with an oven, hob, toaster and dishwasher. One apartment has a retro Atari 2600 games console, while the other has a PlayStation 3, and there are a range of books and films to enjoy. The picturesque, overhanging shops of The Shambles are just 10 minutes’ walk from The Old Gallery. The National Railway Museum is a 5-minute walk away, and the Jorvik Viking Centre is also nearby.
