WE ARE NOW LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SECURED A DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT CLOSE BY!
We have secured a parking space in the Exhibition Pub car park, for our guests only (it is a tight spot to get into but felt that being able to provide our guests with a free parking space rather than having to pay would be more beneficial)
On Gillygate, YO31 7EQ

The entrance
Please use space 6 for the Botanical Suite.
Because parking spaces in York are like gold dust we have to secure the space with a post to ensure any unauthorised cars do not park in the spaces.
***The lock on the bollard has been broken, so you don’t need the key, you can just lift and lower it.
Please remember to return the post to the upright position and return the key on departure.
Follow the car park around, through an archway and you will see the back of the apartment building in front of you.
Parking is available from 3 pm on the day of check-in until 11 am on the day of check out.
**Users of the car parking facility do so at their own risk. We will not accept any responsibility for any damage, accidents or losses.
Thank you!

Care instructions for the sofas
We can’t stop your friend from spilling wine on your sofa or your kids from smearing chocolate on the seats, so we coated the yarn with stain resistance before the fabric was knitted. We’ve done this to ensure the feel of the fabric is kept. Just use a damp sponge to remove any spillages and follow our four step guide.
- For stains like mud, ketchup, lipstick or silly putty, you’ll need to get a teaspoon. First, remove any stain residue with the edge of the teaspoon or a flat utensil. For other stains like pen or coffee, you won’t need to do this. Just dampen the fabric and blot.
- Apply water to the stain and blot using a white paper towel. Do not do the circular motion rub trick because it’ll just rip your paper towel & drive the fibres from it into your fabric. Repeat the process until you can’t see the stain on the paper towel anymore.
- Apply more water to the area and gently rub with a microfibre cloth. Use soap for stubborn stains. Any white bar of soap will do, whatever you have in the house. Now you can do the circular motion rub trick with a cloth or towel. Repeat the process until the stain is completely removed.
This is really important. Don’t use a hairdryer or apply heat to the stain in any way.
Just air dry.
If you notice anything that needs our attention, please do not hesitate to let us know.
