Some of our latest Café reviews...

Lonely Planet 2008/9

Music for your mouth is the theme for this lovely café facing the Minster. The walls are papered with sheet music but it is the delicious food that makes the most noise.

Harden's UK Restaurant Guide 2008

Have a hearty lunch, read the papers and chill out - that's the vibe at this 'long-term favourite' café by the Minster.

Fodor's 2008

Music ephemera decorate this relaxed, intimate bistro in sight of York Minster, which prepares virtually any style of food you care to name from Caribbean to continental. You might choose the Cuban spiced chicken with sweet potatoes and then homemade cake and a cappuccino.

Rough Guide 2008/9

Independent Bistro wallpapered with sheet music, boasting a good reputation and a relaxed atmosphere.

Once you've had the Concerto experience, all other cafés will pale in comparison.


Reviews for The Music House Apartment...


We really appreciated everything about the Music House - all things so carefully considered - some lovely touches. And the location - wow!

Paula, Mike, Luke, Andrea & Rose.

What a gem of an apartment! We loved staying here. It's so beautifully designed, everything done to such a high quality and there are so many thoughtful little touches. We also appreciated the warm welcome on a very cold evening, it was great to find the place so cosy. And it's pleasantly free from the rash of  'Don't do xyz' - type notices that many self catering apartments are afflicted with.

What a heavenly place to stay! The apartment is lovely - beautiful to look at, and filled with every thoughtful detail and practical need one could wish for. It is all so comfortable; and in such a brilliant location with lots of atmosphere. We had a lovely, lovely time! Thank you!

We have loved every minute staying at the Music House Apartment. Everything was here that we needed. Being so close to the city centre was fantastic! Don't want to go home though - can't we stay longer?

What a fantastic place to stay!  We have had a wonderful time, including enjoying a magnificent Café Concerto meal. Thanks to Rozz and Ian who went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we were comfortable. We will be recommending this gem in York to our friends!

The best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. Well done, you thought of everything.

Thank you for sharing your delightful apartment. It proved a perfect home away from home during our stay in York. The cosy atmosphere of the apartment was carried through to the café, where it was impossible not to over-eat! We will always remember your warm welcome, and the consistent friendly helpfulness of the entire staff. Bravo!

This has been the perfect city break for us and our three children. It has been so easy to sight- see with history on our doorstep. Our thanks go to Rozz and Ian for their hospitality and making us feel so welcome. We take away memories to treasure always.

We have visited York many times and can honestly say that we have never stayed in a more comfortable apartment or hotel room than the Music House Apartment. It usually takes a night away from home before we can truly relax. On this occasion, it took minutes!
