Breakfast Excellent. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Building is amazing. Location fantastic. Lots of good (non chainey) restaurants nearby.
United KingdomThe staff were brilliant throughout. The location of the hotel could not be better - city centre, but quiet and peaceful. Beautiful building. Considering the age of the property - 1098, some of it - the facilities were exceptional; functional, modern, and certainly what would be expected in a 21st centuary luxury hotel.
United KingdomThis place is a real jewel in York’s crown, steeped in history and beautifully kept. We will return.
United KingdomWonderfully located near York Minster, overlooking the city walls and with its own garden right in the centre of York. Breakfast was excellent - we had hoped to dine there but covid cancelled that.
United KingdomA true sense of history. A complete one off. It was an experience to stay there rather than just being in a hotel.
United KingdomThe history. We will return. What a beautiful place.
United KingdomThe room was impeccable. Staff amazing, couldn’t ask for more. Hotel steeped in history. Cleanliness fab. Breakfast very well served and presented. Location was perfect.
United KingdomBeautiful original features and steeped in history. Excellent location. Brilliantly clean. Breakfast was amazing and the staff couldn’t do enough for you
United KingdomLovely hotel in fantastic location. Staff all very helpful. Breakfast was lovely and the complimentary coffee and scones served in the beautiful long gallery a nice touch. A nice hotel with various areas to relax in. Gardens are absolutely beautiful and a lovely place to have a drink and enjoy the city walls which form a part of the perimeter of this hotel. Unfortunately the garden bar wasn’t open whilst we were there and the private direct access gate to the city walls was closed but think was due to weather and Covid respectively.
United KingdomBeautiful location with an amazing garden, garden bar, brilliant & vey helpful staff. Stunning period features throughout the property, (Gray’s Court is truly a feast for the eyes). An extremely comfortable bed, pillows & a very large room. Plus the bath tub was out of this world!

Grays Court is truly unique - a country house in the heart of the bustling city of York. It dates back to 1080 in part and has had a plethora of historically noted figures visit over the years - King James I, William Wilberforce, the Duke of Cumberland and the Duke of Somerset to name but a few. It's located mere minutes away from York Minster, and boasts a stunning cobbled courtyard with striking pollarded Plane trees lining the way to the front door, and half an acre of beautiful garden encircled by the historic Bar Walls.
