Foss Bank is everything one wants from a guest house - Close to the centre, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was excellent. My first trip to York was made the more perfect by the attentive service received - from the smiling welcome from Kevin who then took my bags to my room to the day I left when he... More

From the moment I arrived at Foss bank, I received a very warm welcome from Kevin, the proprietor. Throughout my entire stay, I was treated like a V.I.P. My room was spotless & cosy & I had everything that I needed. Breakfast was cooked to perfection & I was given a variety of vegetarian options. The guest house is very... More

This was our second stay at Foss Bank and the standard is as high as ever. From the minute you walk in you feel welcomed as if this was your home rather than a guest house. Kevin and Val are so professional, yet at the same time so relaxed, which makes for the best stress free break. Room perfect, breakfast... More

Foss Bank is the best! We were greeted by Kevin at arrival and he even helped us carry all of our luggage up 3 flights of stairs!! The room was adorable, clean and very homey. Kevin made and served us breakfast each morning and it was fantastic!! It is very conveniently located, just a short walk to the city centre.... More

Lovely personal greeting as I arrived at the guest house. Kevin showed me around so I knew where everything was. Then he carried my case up to my room and offered me a lovely pot of tea for when I had unpacked. The tea was waiting for me in the lounge along with some biscuits, lovely! The house is sparkling...

A fantastic guest house situated perfectly for a short stroll into the city centre. Kevin is a wonderful host - very helpful and yet unobtrusive at the same time, he also provided a couple of great recommendations for restaurants close by. Breakfast was very good with excellent locally sourced ingredients. Room was quiet and spotlessly clean - would have no... More

This is the second time we've stayed at Foss Bank Guesthouse and we'll definitely book this B&B again! After a 200+ mile journey to York, we welcomed being served a freshly made pot of coffee & biscuits on arrival! The rooms on both visits have been lovely & its a pleasure to stay somewhere that always has sparkling clean ensuites.... More

We've just stayed at Foss Bank for the second time and again it was a lovely experience. We were made up when Kevin said he could accommodate our last minute booking! Foss Bank is a five minute walk from the city walls, it provides parking and we were given a friendly, warm welcome. Kevin showed us to our clean, comfortable... More
