Amazing location! Close to the city centre and York is already a very walkable city. Close to railway station, close to the walls, close to York Minster. Our unit had a lot of space and it felt more like an Inn than a Bed & Breakfast. Breakfast was very good and we were impressed with the options available. Staff were friendly and if i was driving, there was plenty of parking.

Ideal location and friendly staff. Unfortunately couldn't get access to the EV charging point as another vehicle (non EV) was parked in the space for the nights I was there. Breakfast only served from 8am so couldn't make use of that. No good served of an evening despite advertising a 'restaurant & bar'. No shower gel or shampoo provided in the room. Not as advertised.
