My partner and I stayed here for a few days in June, we stayed in the 'annex room 8' which was fabulous, across the road from the main house with it's seperate dressing room, we would recommend staying here to anyone. The breakfasts really started the day off, the fresh fruit platter is a must, finished off with a full... more

We stayed at the Barbican last weekend and I have to say that we must have been the guests from hell and can only apologise. My husband was taken ill with a "hypo" and the ambulance crew had to be called, not the way I wanted to spend the weekend but then you can never plan anything! Adrain and Ann... more

I stayed at Barbican house 6 months ago and was more than happy to return.It is without a doubt the best B&B I have ever stayed in, in the U.K & Eire. No detail is over looked from the decanter of sherry in every room,wonderful selection of tea/herb tea/coffee & biscuits. Good quality toiletries,posh loo roll! and beautifully soft,plentiful towels.... more

After spending a great deal of time looking at Yorkshire, my daughter and I finally decided to stay in York and use it as a base to visit much of the surrounding countryside. My daughter (who is studying in France) and I decided to meet up in London and take the train to York. Needless to say I was tired... more

After reading all the reviews on here we were really looking forward to our stay, and having spent two nights there I have to say we really enjoyed it, and agree with all the comments on here regarding the rooms, which we found to be finished to a standard far higher than most hotels. The cleanliness of the place is... more

Thank you for your review, we have just two items that may be of interest to guest, first, we park 6 large cars or 7 medium cars in our car park, not three or four at a push. The breakfast fform or we ask guets to fill in is because we try to make our English breakfast as heathly as...

I currently live in the south and am preparing to move up to York for university. Both times I have visited York (last November and again this month), I have opted to stay at Barbican House. Both times, I and my parents have been more than impressed with the quality of the accomodation. The rooms are immaculately clean and very... more

My husband and I would like to thank Adrian and Ann for the very warm and friendly stay at their Hotel in York. We have travelled to many destinations in England, but our recent short break at The Barbican House has surpassed our expectations. In particular the rooms were immaculate and the English breakfasts were the best we have tried.... more
