Guest Reviews

Benita 8.0

The room was lovely with a great view. It was nice to have plenty of drinking water supplied and there was ample tea and coffee supplies. The bathroom was great, a super shower, brilliant lighting around the mirror and nice toiletries. Breakfast was delicious and the service good. The lady on reception was exceptionally nice and very accommodating. A gift bag of water and flapjacks on check out was lovely.

Goodie 8.0

Breakfast was very good and the staff friendly. The room was nice but I thought it was quite expensive - I have stayed in a lot of the best hotels in York and it did not quite match the reviews it was given. But it was nice nonetheless.

Everything. Kind attentive staff, a beautiful room that I only booked on the day, incredibly historic building and gardens, practically in the grounds of York Minster, private parking making it easy to explore York on foot, good Yorkshire breakfast, lovely bar area in the Long Room, peaceful and just what I needed as a short stopover on my drive up to Scotland.
