Location close to York centre nice and quiet no hastle 😊

Ackers United Kingdom

A nice, unassuming guest house with simple accommodations. The rooms are small but use the space well. The bathroom is tiny but again, this is a guest house and not a four-star hotel. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and for five pounds prepares a wonderful breakfast of a ham sandwich and coffee. The ham (bacon) is fresh from a local butcher. Located 10 minutes by foot from the Minster and central York.

Tim United States of America

Great location near the town centre, friendly landlady

John United Kingdom

The owner was especially helpful to my strange timekeeping. Next time, I hope to meet her.

Geoffrey United Kingdom

I liked the more personal feel to this stay, it was a nice experience. Staff was friendly, full English breakfast, and my room looked amazing! Probably my favorite room out of the places I stayed in during my trip. I would stay here again. It's also down a more residential street and a short walk into the city center.
