I would certainly agree with some of the other recent comments by guests who also stayed at Bowmans Guesthouse. I travelled to York from London by train and it is within easy reach of the railway station. The guest house is very clean and tidy and is delightfully decorated with nice furniture, pictures, carpets and flowers and I had a... More

It is my first time staying in a B&B, and my experience has been fantastic. If they are all as great as Bowmans, I'll choose a B&B over hotels. The hosts are lovely, they are both warm and friendly. able to cater to my needs. The room is clean, tea & coffee is frequently refilled. Location is fantastic, a stones... More

This lovely B&B is very close (about 5 mins brisk walk) to the centre of York, yet it is off of a quiet little road, Debra, the host, was very nice and bubbly. Breakfast was good-sized and good quality. The room was beautiful, with drapes over the bed, a good sized on suite bathroom, and a flat panel TV on... More

Spotlessly clean, co-ordinated elegant decor, well-catered and very very comfortable. I booked a weekend with my fiance to celebrate my birthday. We stayed in Room 8, a spacious double room on the top floor to the rear of the building, which had an en-suite shower room. Hosts were warm and welcoming. Breakfast was deliciously cooked to order with locally sourced... More

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was faultless. It's in a great location, just outside the city walls but a very easy walk into the centre of York. Debra and John were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful. The place was spotlessly clean and one of the best beakfasts I've ever had. It was also great value for money.... More

Very nice and flexible hosts. About 10-15 minutes walk to city center and 5 minutes walk to the hospital (where I was working during my stay). Lovely rooms and great service. Can clearly be recommended for both couples, business or people traveling alone. More

I stayed in the Blue Room which was spotless, comfortable and well supplied. The b&b was recommended in the Rough Guide to Yorkshire book I used on my trip and was really good value too. Debra couldn't have been nicer and the location was brilliant 5/10 minute walk to both the train station and the city centre. Couldn't have been... More
