I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was very pleased with the accommodations. My only complaint was the mattresses.. I ended up spending a couple of nights sitting up. But despite that, I would love to stay again for the same time next year. I would also like to add linens to my reservation if that’s possible please let me know if we can stay there in the same week next year. I hope so. Be well and many many thanks. Betsy Cutler

Another great stay at York Manor. We’ve been going off and on for over 25 years and never been disappointed. We heard you might be renovating number two next year and I hope you keep a little of it historical charm like the Nubble lighthouse stained glass window in addition to enhancing the already great view.
