Welcoming B&B, run very efficiently. We arrived early and were offered tea and biscuits in the lounge. We were allowed to leave the bags while we explored nearby York centre. If you are spending a few days, get the Yorkshire card as this will save money on attractions. We returned to our comfortable room and refreshing hot shower with the... More

Booked this B&B based on the reviews, and we weren't disappointed. Excellent service from first contact. The arrival time could be worked to suit us, as long as let Gill know in enough time to get the room ready! As other guests, tea, coffee and biscuits in the lounge on arrival, as David took our bags to the 3rd floor... More

My friend and I stayed at the Alexander House for 2 nights in April and the room, the accomodations, the food and the hosts couldn't have been better. The B & B was a short walk to the heart of York and the owners were more than happy to answer our questions and make recommendations as needed. Our room was... More

Stayed for two nights over the Easter period.We were greeted with a welcome pot of tea which was very nice- and were able to check in in the morning - a real bonus.. Our room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean with a lovely bathroom. Breakfast was First Class- as good as you will find anywhere. More
