I have just returned from an overnight stay at Grays Court Hotel with my girlfriend. first point is I would suggest using sat nav as it's not easy to find without it, we arrived at the hotel at midday and in spite of the quoted check in time being 2pm we were shown to our room and allowed to take...

A very last minute decision to drop in for a drink and snack, sitting in a delightful spacious garden basking in the sun. Service, food, location all superb. A return trip is needed to better experience its delights. The world is a busy place and to relax within its quiet corner of York was bliss.

I was with my mum and a friend and we popped in here for some lunch. The building is fantastic with a lovely little walk round the quiet surrounding streets and a fantastic courtyard entrance to the building. We sat in the large room at the end of the corridor which was very airy with a high ceiling. I noticed... More

Stayed at easter. Wonderful building and atmostphere, very calming and comfortable.Room excellent , with double ended bath.

The food when it came it was fine, but have had better. Breakfast also... More

I love food and have eaten in... More

Grays Court is exceptional and combines the best of a historic house hotel with the coziness and intimacy of a b&b. The house itself is a fascinating historic building - medieval, Jacobean, Georgian elements all together in a quiet courtyard right next to the York Minster and with a garden that backs on to the historic city wall. I was... More

Booked Grays Court for a couple of nights with my partner as a birthday treat and it exceeded all expectations. Far more beautiful and atmospheric than it appears on the website - it felt as if we were staying in someone's amazing house rather than a hotel. The house itself just oozes style, history and atmosphere and you can roam... More

Only stayed for one night but would have happily stayed for longer! We stayed in the Cumberland suite which was quite fantastic, a good bathroom with large bath and double shower plus good views over the gardens and York walls. The relaxed vibe to this place and homely/almost accidental management style of the owner made it a delight to stay.
