Two couples, 'young fifties', stayed two nights Feb 2012. Lovely, clean guest house with comfortable beds, nice breakfast and welcoming friendly hosts and staff. Good location for walk into centre of town and all attractions. Approx 10 mins stroll to Micklegate and then 4-5 mins down micklegate (or longer if you pub crawl it!) into the centre of town.

We stayed for 4 nights in September 11. The B&B provided us with 2 free York passes, which enabled us to see lots of things in the city for free, because we got a lot of use from them, it made the room price really cheap, especially when you consider the quality of the accommodation. I particularly liked the breakfast... More

Small guest house 10 mins walk (about 500 yards) to shops. About 15 mins from the minster. This may be a bit to far in rain but hot line to local taxi service is available. Room was comfortable, cosy, clean, and warm. Plenty of coffee/tea at hand. Breakfast had a pretty good choice. Parking is on the street with a... More

Stayed for 3 nights in November 2011 and found everything about this establishment to be first class. The welcome I had couldn't have been better and I was given a map with local tourist attractions pointed out with routes to the town centre provided (about a 10 minute walk). The B&B is situated in a quite residential area so noise... More

My friend and I definitely enjoyed spending two nights in this guest house. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and very charming. The staff was by far the nicest group of people ever! They kindly explained the town to us and the best routes into the centre etc - their friendliness and service was an absolute highlight. The breakfast was... More

Very welcoming and friendly without being in the least obsequious. * Warm and comfortable. * Good value. * Great location. * Unbeatable breakfast. * Arguably the best poached eggs in the known universe. What more could you want? Unless of-course you like the soulless anonymity of a hotel chain. John and Carol.
