The Best Place to stay in york.

I want to give them the most stars i can give because this is what they deserve. The most amazing couple you will ever meet. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Everything was perfect, the breakfast, cleanliness, comfort and the hospitality. Every hotel, airbnb, need and breakfast should clone them and what they do.

Julie and Allan were incredible hosts! They were so personable and friendly and helped in any way we needed it. They made breakfasts to order and the room was comfortable and clean. The location was perfect as it was very close to the center of town. We highly recommend booking with this lovely place!

A very pleasant, clean & comfortable place to stay just five minutes walk from the Minster & city centre. There is a homely feel to the place and the proprietors were both friendly & efficient. There was a good choice of breakfast items & the full English was superb. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent stay. Julie and Alan are the most amazing hosts & people you will meet. If you are looking for a 5* hotel with gym and saunas this place aint for you. If you are looking for a clean local guest house 5 min from Minster with hosts who will go above & beyond the this is everything you could ask for. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We look forward to returning. Thank you

Lovely room. Great hosts.

The room we had was small but big enough for us. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you would expect. En suite toilet/shower were again small but clean. Allan and Julie were great hosts and we will definitely go back.
