The Farthings is situated in a nice area or york within easy walking distance of old York. On arrival you are given a parking pass and can literally park immediately outside the premises. The place was spotlessly clean and the rooms were lovely. The lady owner was a really nice person who spent time with us on arrival to advise... More

We recently stayed for a weekend and were immediately impressed by the welcome we received. We were issued with a parking permit to leave our car in the quiet residential street and given Room 2 which was at the front of the house. The room was immaculately clean and the bed was nearly as comfy as our own. There was... More

Just to start with - this is not, despite 2 star rating, a NEGATIVE review. It is more to highlight that, in my opinion, the 60+ glowing, "could not be better" 4/5 star reviews are misleading.

My friends and I stayed here for 3 nights and I must say this is really a very comfortable place. We had a double and single bed in the room. Though the double bed was kinda huge and walk space in the room was a little squeezy, it was still comfortable. The design of the room was very country style... More

Occupied two rooms at the Farthings and found them to be very comfortable. Quiet location too. The owners gave us a friendly welcome and were always pleasant. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. In Room 3 the shower was either burning hot, or cold and the water pressure could have been better. Temperatures were cold outside and that room... More

The farthings was a wonderful experience. After staying at hostels and clambering umpteen stairs with baggage, it was a treat to be upgraded upon arrival, and be given a sweet, room on the ground floor, complete with ensuite, guest robes, tea/coffee making facilities,t.v. and even a shoe shine kit! Our hosts, and Poppy, made us very much at home, -... More
