Guests say
The Bungalow is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, convenient location, and the friendliness of the hosts. While some guests found the property smaller than expected and the comfort level suitable for up to three adults, the overall experience was enjoyable. The property is equipped with a great shower and is situated in a quiet area, ideal for visiting nearby attractions.
Guests generally found The Bungalow to be very clean, with only one mention of dust which the owners have taken steps to address. The cleanliness is consistently noted as a positive aspect.
The location is frequently highlighted as convenient and ideal, with easy access to York and other attractions. The proximity to bus routes and the Yorkshire Air Museum adds to the appeal.
Comfort received mixed reviews; while the settee is described as smart and comfortable, some guests noted the property is a tight fit for three adults and may not comfortably accommodate four. Bed size and seating arrangements were concerns for some.
There is insufficient information to accurately score the facilities and maintenance. While some guests mentioned a well-equipped property and a great shower, specific details on the overall facilities and their maintenance are lacking.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through gestures like providing milk and biscuits upon arrival. However, as such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

There is one large settee which would probably hold 4 tiny people but not 4 average sized people. The settee was very low along with the toilet. When you walk in it seems clean but once youâve unpacked and sorted everything out, it is not very clean. The kitchen grill wasnât clean and a lot of the plates etc had to be washed before use. This is up to the last occupancy but should be checked by the owner. Plenty of cobwebs but no spiders were spotted funnily enough. Beds were comfortable. Had a couple of problems while we were there but they were sorted out straight away. The electric hob has been installed up side down, just to be aware of. We will not be staying here again but it is in a good location it just needs a good âspring cleanâ. One thing that was left on the doorstep was a linen bag to put towels and bedding in. I expect to put towels in a certain place but is this a new âthingâ where the customer has to strip the beds before they go! I notice on your website you are stating to do this if requested. I have paid for a holiday, not to strip beds. I am disabled and I stripped one bed and did all the pillow cases but could not manage the other bed. Sorry.

Although advertised as for 4 people it is only comfortable for 3 adults with a squeeze, the owner was pleasant enough.

Clean, tidy and the host was very friendly and helpful, even leaving a bag of sweets for Halloween. My only issue would be that the listing, could be mistaken for being misleading, as the exterior photo shows more than what you actually get to use. The window and double doors to the right of the photo are what you are paying for, not all of it. But having said that, for us, for a week, it was ideal. The single beds may cause problems if its a taller person though. Would recommend it to anyone who was heading that direction.
