York House - Home Stay

A beautifully spacious lounge draws you in, with views of the sea and Esplanade. Relax in the large sumptuous sofas or take a chair in the window and watch the world go by. There’s a large TV if you fancy a movie from the selection of DVDs or the Kindle firestick, or, choose a book or board game from the shelves. At the other end of this spacious room is an elegant glass dining table and chairs for six.

The large well-equipped “cooks” kitchen has a centre cooking island complete with prep-sink, induction hob and waste disposal unit. There are plenty of granite counter spaces, an American style fridge and freezer with ice machine, a Trug full of fresh herbs outside the kitchen door and a selection of cookery books, should you want to try a new recipe! This great sociable space also boasts a kitchen table with seating for six.
