I've been going to York nearly every year of my life since a young age, as I have relatives there (in Fulford, actually), so I know it well. The location of this hotel is very very good for the price and what you get in terms of rooms. I don't really have anything negative to say about the hotel itself... More

We stayed here in November during the Nicholas Fayre. We drove up and found it quite easily. It has its own parking which is free of charge unlike the bigger chain hotels around. Reception were friendly and helpful, the owner liked a bit of banter. Our room was of a good size on the main road side. We were not... More

A good location for the city centre just a ten minute walk either along the river side or through the streets. A fantastic fresh cooked breakfast. The rooms are clean and tidy if a little dated but this is a good bed and breakfast not a 4star hotel. Going back in February.

Another issue was the fan... More

This B+B is just a few minutes walk from the South Gate. There is also a lovely riverside walk nearby that takes you into the centre of York. Free parking on site so you can park up and forget about driving for the whole of your stay. The food is good. The rooms are spotless and well maintained. Plenty of... More

Normally when we go to York we stay at a pub down the road, but this time I thought I would try something different, and I'm glad I did. We got there ridiculously early, they were still cleaning the rooms, but the guys were perfectly OK with it. Obviously we couldn't get our bags and stuff in the room till... More
