I'd thoroughly recommend staying here. Don't worry about the fact that you're sharing a bathroom and that the individual rooms don't have locks. We left all of our stuff there and didn't have any problems whatsoever, and as another reviewer said the bathroom is kept spotless. We were very pleasantly surprised by Di and Paul's guest house.

Advantages: Reasonable price, no extra charge for singles, all diets catered for and a relaxed place to stay. Disadvantages: Not easy to tell it's a B&B from the road and no on-suite bathrooms (didn't bother me!). When I decided I wanted to stay in a bed and breakfast in York the first thing I did was a Google search for... More

An absolutely brilliant little B+B nestled on a side street a short walk from the train station and the city centre. Perfect for those of you who want to avoid the boring same-old-chain-hotels but still have clean, comfortable accommodation.

The breakfast is great, menu supplied and choices made the day before catering for a good range of organic food and special diets. The owner is very accommodating - no problems about leaving bags there both before actual... More

Excellent find only ten minutes walk from the train station. Small, friendly and personal, I would happily stay here again and again. The room was spacious and warm, with facilities to keep you happy overnight. The breakfast was amazing, with a huge selection of alternatives from full English to cinnamon toast, or pancakes with bananas and maple syrup. Incredibly friendly... More

I couldn't find this place on TripAdvisor so I had to add it! (Note that I don't have any relation to the people running the B&B). We stayed here for one night on the way to Whitby from London. It was absolutely lovely. The place is run by a really friendly couple. The room was large, comfortable and really fun... More
