It is very close to YorkMinster and close to the River and City Centre. It’s a different vibe (in a good way) from staying in a more modern hotel. Staff are very helpful. Breakfast is great, beautiful garden and great drinks area. We also had dinner in the restaurant one night and that was very good too.

This is a wonderful stay, within walking distance to old York and the Shambles. Peter and Carol were there to welcome me and they were like long lost friends as this is my second stay at the unit. The rest of the family loved the rooms and were particularly fond of the chocolates left for us. The place was well-stocked with all that we would need. I can't wait to come back again.

Adele was the perfect host. This quaint B & B is very well presented. We stayed in the Great Burnett room which was beautifully decorated. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay outside of York this is the place for you. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

The room and the entire property was very well presented and fresh. The restaurant was also exceptional with top level table service and a great menu. Only negatives are that road facing room was a little noisy during the morning and evening rush hours and the security light in the room was quite intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stop over.

We only stayed at Ashbourne House for one night and it was very nice. Lovely room with a Comfortable bed, great shower and towels. Plenty if tea and coffee, and if you ran out you could get more from a dish on the landing also a sweet treat if you needed it, which I thought was a nice touch.
It was a bit away from restaurants and the main shopping but public buses stopped just down the road and was easy to catch and came regularly if you didn’t have a car.
