It was clean and tidy, very friendly staff, good service, breakfast was fabulous and it was only a ten minute walk in to the city centre. Would definitely recommend it and would rebook if I came to York again.

Sara

We would definitely recommend staying here. 10 walk to train station. The host is very helpful. We drove herself to train station to give us a jacket which we forget at her place. We are so surprised on her kindness. Complimentary Breakfast is fantastic, a wade range of breakfast from traditional english breakfast to authentic Scottish dish. Room is clean and tidy. A small negative note though - the bathroom isn’t in the room. You need to walk 5-6 step to get on your private bathroom.

Could possibly do with a little face lift but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. There was everything we needed possibly a carafe of water (bottle with closure frim Ikea?) Maybe a little packet of biscuits to eat with a cup of tea but these aren't necessary just nice extras. (but cost money)
Very warm welcome Absolute 5 star breakfast. We had misread the times of breakfast and were 10mins lste but were still given a 5 star breakfast. . Good reccomendations for where to eat..

The breakfast was piping hot which can be a challenge in a b&b situation. The owner, Melissa, is charming and accommodating. She deals with situations with professionalism.

We had 2 rooms(1 double en suite and 1 twin en suite). One room(twin) was nicely decorated and clean and comfortable but unfortunately the decor in the double room looked a bit dated and needed a bit of TLC😕
The landlady and the young girl(daughter???)were superb and went out of their way to give advice on places to visit etc and were very welcoming. The location was great and the breakfast was well worth waking up for.

There were piles of dust behind the tv, on back of the door, skirting, basically anywhere that wasn’t the immediate surface tops. The sliding door to the bathroom had no handle so was difficult to get out. Only had one towel on arrival as others were drying, found second clean towel had been left for us later on the floor outside the bedroom door, right where everyone would stand to open the door in their shoes. Wallpaper coming off wall, ceiling stained, paint on bathroom door peeling and Could feel the springs in the mattress.
