Holmlea Guest House  

We were made to feel very welcome and any requests were dealt with very effeciently. Nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly return to Holmlea Guest House.

Comfortable bed. Good value for money.Good position for easy access to city.

Very noisy plumbing take your ear plugs! Thin walls could hear the quests in the room next door.

I would use this "guesthouse" only as having a bed for the night and its central location

No Welcome or person about on arrival, its completely sort yourself out The room was cold The towel had a great hole in it No Card payment facility it had to be cash with no offer of a receipt Breakfast is not worth having ,four pieces of toast,two glasses of orange and two Tesco Yoghurts We booked this for an overnight stay on New Years Eve as it was the only place available and I would say to anyone use it on that basis,its a bed for the night and thats it Dont expect any personal touches For the £110 we paid for one night there was only 1 winner but credit to the owner for business thinking -minimum workload needed but as the customer it was the worst value for money I have ever had on an overnight stay -Sorry

Breakfast in the mornings was ok, continental consisted of toast yoghurt juice with jams and that's it. Would be better if it came with a choice of cereal but that's my opinion. The owners were friendly, the room was clean and the bed was Cumfortable, free wifi was nice extra and the free parking on the front was good. If our room was en suite it would be perfect, we just had to cross the corridor to get to the small room with a toilet and shower in it

I liked the location and the friendliness of the staff.

It was close to the city centre, just 5 minutes walk

The room was very clean and comfortable. Just a short walk from the city centre.

Continental breakfast was toast & yoghurt. No room to eat it comfotably. Never saw the owner just the staff for a couple of hours in the morning. Room was just about big enough for one not two.

Clean.

No luggage room after check out. Staff not polite at all.

Holmlea is in a great location - less than 0.7miles from Clifford Castle. Parking is available in the street directly outside. The internet has a good signal. The morning staff was friendly and helpful.

No one is available to greet guests and assist with simple tourist information about York or with settling in the rooms. On arrival guests need to telephone a number provided to get into the guesthouse to then receive a welcome letter and key. Guests are to leave any inquires written on a notice board in the foyer - or telephone the owner. A few issues that came up (eg given incorrect internet code, instructions on how to use the shower) could have been resolved by having someone there to check guests in.

A good value for money bed and breakfast guest house in a quiet location but only 15 mins easy walk into the centre of york. Parking permit was provided for our stay directly outside of the guesthouse. Continental breakfast was included and consisted of yogurt fruit juice and toast. FrIendly staff and york is a lovely place to visit. Would definately stay at holmlea in the future.

No complaints

It was within reasonable walking distance (about 15-20 minutes) of the railway station and the city centre and on a relatively quiet street.

There is no breakfast room and if expecting a traditional continental breakfast you may be rather disappointed. Difficulties with the phone line during my stay meant no internet/wifi access, also you may be aked to pay in cash as this affects credit card payments.

Comfy bed.

The smell of the air freshener was nauseating. Really didn't like that there were no staff on site when we arrived or overnight.
