Lovely cosy room in an immaculately kept property. Breakfast was outstanding too. 10 minute walk to the city centre yet nice and quiet. The perfect spot. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Lovely rooms with well made beds- provided plenty of warmth which is good since middle of February is quite cold. Brilliant location, within sensible walking distance of city centre and the station with reasonably safe walking routes to both, but without the downside of all the noise since it’s in a more residential area allowing for a better nights sleep versus the big brand hotels on the main streets. However, the real standouts are the wonderful owners who were very helpful and understanding throughout my stay and the quality breakfasts (the pancakes and the sausage sandwich were great). When I booked, I was moderately worried about shared bathrooms for my room but these turned out to be very clean at all points in the day so was not an issue, plus having a choice of 2 is very handy in case one is in use- never had to wait for one to become available. All in all very glad I booked a stay here, will now be the first place I check availability for on future visits to York. Thank you for the great stay.

Excellent little place, family run, short walk.
Very friendly, use the key lock to grab you keys when you arrive. Any issues just ring the mobile on the info by the door. Very easy to find, can cross the little park for a cheeky shortcut. Close to the station, over the river, first right left at Sainsbury's across the park and it's on the corner.

Charming hotel within walking distance of York
Lovely hotel, with welcoming host, who even parallel parked my car for me outside the hotel when I was struggling to park in the bay (free for guests) outside the hotel! You need to give your registration in advance to the hotel to be allocated a free spot… The hotel is very charming, with a lot of attention to detail and quirky ornaments which I particularly liked, being a cat lover! A hearty full English breakfast and other options are available - there are 2 sittings and you can specify your preference for 8.15 or 9.15 am breakfast the night before on a sheet in the lobby. I stayed in a single room 9 in the attic, which had a TV, tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryer, complimentary make up remover pads, sewing kit and shower cap. It was adjacent to the shared bathroom.
Parking is free for residents who pre- register their registration details with the hotel.
