Delightful and quiet location and yet easy to get to all the main attractions of York city centre without the need for a car or taxi. The room and the bed were very comfortable and breakfast was really excellent. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the property is well appointed just like on the photos.

Nice and quaint little B&B! Be prepared that there is no elevator - I was on the top floor myself. But lovely for a one-night stay. Staff was responsive and friendly, and check-in was smooth. Though a note: if you check in after 2, staff will not be onsite to let you in (they leave you with easy instructions, however). Would come back again!
