It was a greally lovely stay. the place was really sweet and beautifully decorated. The staff were really lovely and attentive. Arriving early was no problem for us and we could drop our bags off etc etc so they were great. The location was excellent and you could walk into the centre of town within 5-10 mins! The cleanliness of the place was impressive. I loved how clean it was. We were on the top floor. The only issue was the quietness. I say quietness because it was not really noisy. The house was old, so you could hear the floors creaks and the pipes a little bit We are light sleepers so we struggled a little bit.

Svær at bedømme. Da vi ankom var vi meget tilfreds med værelset. Men opdagede hurtigt at der var ingen vand. Vi blev hurtigt tilbudt et værelse et andet sted i byen. Her var værelset også fint men noget længere væk fra byen.

Absolute gem of a B&B near the Minster

Absolute gem of a B&B near the Minster. I traveled with a friend from the US so she could see York. The B&B is ideally situated a short walk from the city walls and York Minster. It never felt too far to walk back from the city attractions, but it was far enough out of the centre to be quiet and feel safe. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and comfortable. The staff are lovely. Nothing was too much to ask. Very accommodating; great communication. Don't be put off by the self-check in after 4 pm. It's very easy.

Nice and quaint little B&B! Be prepared that there is no elevator - I was on the top floor myself. But lovely for a one-night stay. Staff was responsive and friendly, and check-in was smooth. Though a note: if you check in after 2, staff will not be onsite to let you in (they leave you with easy instructions, however). Would come back again!

Very nice guesthouse!

Our room was very comfortable for a family of 4. We had one king and two twin beds, and the room was spacious enough to enjoy our short excursion to York. The location was fantastic. We could walk to the train station and to the city center. The street is quiet and beautiful. The bathroom was a highlight. It was spotless and looked recently renovated. The only thing was that we never saw any adult staff on the premises. The teen girls that worked there were very nice but couldn’t answer some of our questions. It would have been nice to have had face to face interaction with the owners or adult staff. Overall, we would stay there again and give it bonus points for cleanliness.

The room was clean and had all the advertised amenities. Unfortunately when we stayed it was very warm and the windows only vented a little so there was no cross ventilation. The fan helped, but it was uncomfortable. The stairs were also very narrow up to the third floor and hard to navigate with large suitcases.

Top pour visiter York

Très bien, 3 places de parking sont dispo à l'arrière (plus economique que les parkings publics). Très bon petit déjeuner. Rénové récament. Seul bémol est l'arrivé après 4h (4:00 PM). c'est un self checking, j'aime bien avoir une vrai personne en face de moi. Mais ça s'est bien passé malgré tout.

Relaxing stay

Delightful and quiet location and yet easy to get to all the main attractions of York city centre without the need for a car or taxi. The room and the bed were very comfortable and breakfast was really excellent. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the property is well appointed just like on the photos.
