We had a lovely room on the second floor. It was clean with the essentials. The breakfast...First class. The cooks and waitresses were fantastic and the food. Epic. Would rate people to stay here always. The only tiny gripe was the cost of the car park and the toilet seat was broken. All in all. If you go to York, stay here :)

Nice little B&B within walking distance to the city centre. This was a convenient location with onsite parking available. The room was spacious and comfortable for the most part although our bed was very creaky so maybe the mattress or base needs replacing. Shower was excellent and the breakfast was good, recommended!

We stayed one night for a weekend away in york. Was very impressed with how friendly and attentive the staff were and the breakfast the next day was very nice!. Although the room being a little dated, it was very spacious and warm, with everything you needed, plus more than enough beverages at hand. I also found the bed to be quite comfy if not a little bouncy. Parking on site was £10 for the duration of our stay,, although space is limited and got full towards the end of the day. We walked into town which took about 20 mins and is a pretty straight path to follow. The only negative aboit our stay was hearing another couple arguing in another room, but no fault of the hotel. Will deffo be using again when next visiting as was much better priced than most hotels near to town

Good location & breakfast

Good location and nice cooked breakfast. Booked for a cheap get a way within walking distance however sprung a £10 charge for parking on me in addition for using their car park which I couldn’t find mentioned anywhere although tbf still cheaper than pay & displays in York. Hosts & staff friendly maybe a bit dated but it does have character.
