I can’t praise this place enough! What a fantastic find, unbeatable value for money. The guest house is located just outside the old city walls and has lots of character. I stayed in the single room, which was tucked at the back, quiet, cosy, and spotlessly clean. The hosts were lovely to chat to, and the breakfast delicious and cooked to order. A perfect stay, I couldn’t have made a better choice for my trip to the beautiful city of York!
