Very nice accommodation in York. Very close to all the shops and sightseeing locations. Very good communication before and during our stay. Lovely clean spacious room. Very good coffee/tea facilities. Good parking - but for smaller vehicles. They were able to accommodate our late check in as well!
United KingdomCentrally located, clean, friendly staff, and a comfortable place to stay.
United KingdomBreakfast was traditional but a nice added touch was being able to fill out a menu request in advance to get precisely what you wanted. I really appreciated being able to safely park in a private space out back. The location is truly ideal with the cathedral an easy few minutes walk away.

Host Info
Company info
We love living in York and been a proud Yorkshireman like to show and explain where to get the best out of your time in and around the city or excursions in the Rest of our beautiful county of Yorkshire. However you can spend a week in York and still won't see it all.. Personally I love the old charm of strolling around the ancient city streets and Snicleways as the smaller streets are called here. There are excellent Museums and attractions so if the weather is inclement you still can be entertained. Then there are numerous excellent resteraunts bars and theatres to visit in the evenings or try a Ghost walk
