Loved staying here, Ian and Ann are a great couple and very friendly, the breakfasts are delicious. would definitely stay here again, :-) Thank you Ian and Ann

A chance booking via the York tourist office found this gem, which I have visited regularly for the past 6 years. The standard of welcome, spotless accommodation and hosts who really seem to like to have you there never varies, and the breakfast really sets you up for the day. Both Anne and Ian are shining examples of the way... More

We lucked out and stayed at some great B&Bs on our recent trip, Bootham Gardens being the last and a wonderful place to end our vacation. Extensive breakfast menu and everything we had was done excellently. Clean and comfortable room with a very nice ensuite. I notice someone else commented on erratic wifi, but it was fine for us.

We both has a fantastic and very comfortable stay. Very reasonable especially as it is bright, airy and clean with excellent breakfast. Loved the flexibility of leaving our car early so we can save on car parking costs, having our coffee taken outside after breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble. Ian and Anne were very friendly and very willing to... More

Kiwis on Tour. Stayed at Bootham Gardens while in York during our journey throughout the UK. Nice and close to York and the Host, Ian was very helpful and accommodating. Room and en- suite were clean and tidy. Th breakfast, particularly the choices were outstanding and the best we have found. More like a restaurant than a B&B. Would recommend+++

We stayed here for three days. I had made a mistake in dates and Ian accommodated us, though in rooms smaller than we would otherwise have had. Bathrooms are very good. Location about a 15 minute walk into the heart of York. Dealt mainly with Ian, who was mostly helpful but likes things to be done his way. No stairs,... More

I stayed here with two old friends for a 'get together' weekend. They could provide the triple room that we wanted and it was very clean and comfortable. Just a short walk into the city centre. Ian was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. I would thoroughly recommend this B&B and will book there again when I return to... More

A very nice weekend spent in York with the help of a lovely stay at Bootham Gardens Guesthouse. Was greated by Ian on arrival and was made very welcome.
