Wow! We wanted to stay somewhere walkable to York city centre that also had parking for our hire car and Monkbridge exceeded all our expectations. The warm and informative welcome, the comfortable and beautifully renovated rooms, the cooked to order breakfast, the overall service and all the little extras and touches made our 2 night stay amazing. Thanks so much to our hard working hosts who have also painstakingly restored the building into an amazing B&B!

Exceptional stay at MonkBridge House Hotel

Stayed for one night and couldn’t have been more pleased. The room was spotless and well-appointed, with an ensuite bathroom, a minibar, and thoughtful touches like complimentary drinks. The entire property was immaculately clean and clearly well cared for. Service was excellent—staff were welcoming, helpful, and made the stay feel effortless. Breakfast was another highlight, featuring homemade and locally sourced condiments like jams, butter, and sausages, which added a lovely personal touch. The hotel also offers accessible parking and is located less than a 10-minute stroll from the heart of York, making it both convenient and relaxing. A peaceful, well-run hotel in a great location. Highly recommended for anyone visiting York.

Awesome B&B

We had a Triple room on the top floor, the room was huge, lovely Hypnos bed and views all around from the large window. The hosts were excellent and as we were there for a University visit they gave us the directions and printed off a map for us. The breakfast were ;lovely and overall, if our daughter goes to York Uni, we will be staying at this B&B when we travel up
