Reviews
Happy to post a 5-star review and explain why. The price seems reasonable and like all businesses who know their product is solid, they offer a free trial. Faye was there to welcome me. Jessica's décor is bright and uplifting. There's free (decent) coffee, tea and biscuits, with oat milk in the fridge (nice touch). The toilets are spotless and well appointed. Basically they do the little things well, which is always a good sign. I could have saved a few quid by finding a corner table in a café and making a couple of drinks last all day, but here I have an extra screen, plenty of space, peace and quiet, and staff on hand if need be. Seems like a well-run company and a very good deal to me.
Used a room at Blake House for a work function. It's a lovely building amazingly located in the centre of York. Most importantly, we were looked after really well throughout the day. Would recommend.
I spent a month working here while traveling with my family and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is fantastic, the team gave me such a warm welcome, and they were always accommodating to my needs. The space itself is comfortable, inspiring, and has a great vibe that made it easy to focus and enjoy my workdays. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a coworking space that combines professionalism with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Location, support and warm welcome - perfect for a day visit in their private meeting space - spacious, refreshments, and lots of places locally to visit to rewind post intensive strategy day. Shout out to Jessica - thanks for being so lovely - i booked the wrong day! - very responsive, kind and helpful, we will be back!
Superb venue, in the heart of the city. Host, Jessica, was great and really accommodating. The facilities are perfect and a courtyard for some air. Will definitely re book.
