Really nice, traditional guest house, loved everything about it, except for the fact that dogs are allowed in the dining room. I cannot understand why people can’t be without their “little darling” for 15 minutes and why they think it’s ok to subject other guests to their dog in an area where food is consumed.

Very quiet and and clean. Typical English cottage taken from a history movie, with a homey feeling. Loved staying there. Walked to town easily when the weather was good, or took the buss (station very close). Would love to stay there again when visiting York.

Stayed in twin room opposite the reception breakfast was good and very nice staff. The WiFi wasn’t great but acceptable. Private parking but only a limited amount of spaces.
