Parking at Baggergate House
We are excited to announce that Baggergate House now comes with parking for one vehicle in the properties residential parking zone. We will provide guests with a permit that allows them to park one vehicle in the residents parking zone R16 for the duration of their stay.
Collecting and Displaying the Permit
Although it has double yellow lines, you are allowed to pull up your car for a few minutes to drop off or pick up luggage and passengers, and to collect the parking permit. We will leave the permit in the drawer of the dining room table. Alternatively, you can find a parking space and then walk to the house to collect it. Most of the spaces in the parking zone allow free parking to non-residents for up to one hour (though a few are just 10 minutes) which will allow enough time for you to do this.
The permit should be displayed clearly on the passenger side of the windscreen.
Please leave the permit on the dining room table when you leave.
Validity
The permit is valid for the duration of your stay, from 4pm on the day of arrival to 10am on the day of departure. Please return the permit at your check out time. The permit is required for use for the changeover, so if you choose to extend your stay in York after your check out time you will need to find alternative parking.
You can use it for any of the spaces marked R16, but not on bays marked out in red or displaying ‘C’ or ‘GM’ after the zone number. You can see the full extent of the parking area by visiting the York City Council website and searching for residents parking. The R16 zone is highlighted in pink on the map.

Parking for Additional Vehicles
Any additional vehicles for your party will need to use a public car park. The nearest one is on Nunnery Lane which is less than a 5 minute walk from the house. Current parking charges can be found at Nunnery Lane car park - Parking directory – City of York Council. You can pay using cash or card at the machine or pay and top-up your payment using the Ringo App on your phone.
Alternatively, you may be able to find a local parking space on the Just Park App which could be a little cheaper.
Extending your Stay in York
If you arrive in York before 4pm or choose to stay in the city beyond 10am on your final day you will need to find alternative parking for the additional hours. You could use the Nunnery Lane car park as mentioned above, or for stays of up to 3 hours you can use the Bishopthorpe Road shoppers’ car park at the end of the shopping parade, which is a little closer. This costs a maximum of £4.50, but it can be very busy so it is advised to go as early as possible, particularly on weekends.
