Britain’s most walkable city is a ‘tremendous place’ 03/04/2023

It's true, all true. A pedestrianised city centre, riverside walks, beautiful scenery, great shops and restaurants and two thousand years of history in the country's best preserved walled city. Yup, we've got a lot of history...

Not-quite-seven swans a swimming but, hey, what a lovely sight on the River Foss; the kind of view you get most days from our river’s edge holiday apartments.

Take me to the river... Cocoa River. Recently converted quality development retaining original brickwork & many features, in York’s most historic industrial building, Rowntree Wharf - from Europe’s largest flour mill to making all that lovely chocolate. Quiet & peaceful yet 5 mins from the city centre. 2 bed (both en suite), spacious, light & airy, perfect for a break. With secure, allocated & free parking included.

ROWNTREE WHARF HISTORY, FROM FLOUR TO CHOCOLATE! 15/07/2020

York's most historic industrial building, Rowntree Wharf, standing majestically on The River Foss. Built in 1860 as Leetham Mill, one of the largest flour-rolling mills in Europe, it later became home to the famous Rowntree chocolate factory. The current multi-storey car park, which serves the building exclusively, was the site for the mill’s grain store.

Welcome to a new member of the Stay Central York family, Cocoa Lily. Watch the River Foss flow by your window seat, so close you’ll want to reach out and dabble your hands.

Brand new riverside apartments in an iconic 19th-century city centre building

We create stylish apartments in the city centre. Some call them ‘bespoke’, but we prefer ‘homely and elegant’. Somewhere to comfortably relax in peace and quiet before exploring the delights of one of the top UK destinations, recently voted by Sunday Times readers as the ‘Best Place To Live’. Oh, and a great night’s sleep, “Most comfortable bed we have slept in for ages, almost took it home” (J&V).

Cocoa Isabella (the pic above) is a stylish one-bed ground floor studio right on the river (bring your rod!) in York’s most historic industrial building, Rowntree Wharf, built-in 1860 and originally one of the largest flour-rolling mills in Europe.

Cocoa Lily is an elegant studio but not your average one-room space. Leather sofa, super-comfy bed, writing desk and dining table, high-end quartz-topped kitchen area and, yes, straight on to the river. Just like Isabella you can perch on the window seat and watch the river - and the otters - go by. You’ll think you can reach out and dabble your hands...

Cocoa River is a first-floor two-bedroom apartment (both en suite) served by a lift and overlooking the courtyard and river. Always 5* reviews, like the other two apartments you couldn’t be more quiet and peaceful yet only minutes from the centre. No traffic, only ducks.
