Fantastic place to stay for any trip to the centre of York. Easily walkable and set in a great location on bishy road, which has fantastic, independent shops, restaurants and bars and brings back the feel good factor of the high street. The host was superb and the breakfast is a must for anybody who enjoys a english brekkie.

Loved the original features of the property. Beautiful original stained glass in the door & window surrounds. Courtyard area was very nice and we liked our ground floor accommodation which was very comfortable and nicely decorated.

Iain 9.0

Second time staying here and would definitely keep coming back! Great location, just a short walk into York city centre and on the corner of Bishopthorpe road which has nice bars, restaurants etc. Hosts are very friendly and helpful with good knowledge of the surrounding area. Breakfast (full English but other options are available) was lovely and prepared quickly.

The location is fantastic, only 10-15 mins of walk to city centre. There's a nearby Sainsbury local and multiple local restaurants, very convenient. The owner cooks great and classic British breakfast. Great experience.
