Great spot and a great stay.

The parking is free but space is also limited. We lucked out and snagged a great spot. The hotel is so close to town we walked everywhere and never moved the car again. Breakfast was great, the room clean, and the neighborhood safe and easy to walk to all the attractions.

Fantastic value for money

A lovely, friendly place that really makes you feel at home! For the price the value for money is fantastic; decent size bedroom with en-suite (and a great shower!), free parking and a hearty breakfast with plenty of options. The location is great - roughly a 10 minute walk into town. Staff were all so helpful and gave lots of recommendations for things to do, plus we had home-made banana bread ready on arrival! I would definitely stay again :)

Nice location

Nice location very near to York with the added benefit of parking if you take the Ebor suite. We used it for a one night stay for to attend a concert in the museum gardens which were very close. Some noise from the kitchen could be heard in our room but not that it made the stay uncomfortable

We had a lovely stay here. The staff were wonderful and accommating, gave us tips on places and restaurants to go to. Its only a short walk to the centre and to the riverside - extremely convenient. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of options and fresh bread each morning - 3 different kinds! Downsides - The walls were thin and on our last night we could hear the room next to us snoring. Also we had a problem with parking where all spaces were taken due to an event so we had to drive out of the centre to a pub nearby for a couple hours and wait and hope there was space when we got back which luckily there was 1 space. Overall a wondeful stay and we will be back.

Lovely B&B near to city centre

Lovely guest house which is half a mile walk from city centre. Very nice area. We were on 2nd floor. Lovely clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. Parking was reserved for us and lucky to find a space just around the corner. Friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again if we come back to York.

Lovely little 2 night stay

Lovely location lovely room we stayed in. The pillows was slightly hard and the mattress was hard as well. Nice breakfast choice although on the full English there was no hash brown. This would have been a good point for me. Rooms are very hollow can hear everything from the next rooms. Lovely people very friendly and very polite.

Very friendly helpful staff and instructions before arrival and during my stay. Clean and tidy room. Walls not sound proof so spent the night listening to a neighbour snoring unfortunately but very comfortable bed. Carpet was vacuumed but could do with a shampoo. Excellent breakfast. Tea and coffee making facilities and nice toiletries. Thank you.
