Such a lovely place to stay! Very clean, very comfortable, quiet and safe. Friendly staff. Great location. Full of fun and interesting little details. Felt like the owners of this guest house have really put their heart into it, and thought of everything. I had a great time and will absolutely be back some day.

“Great location, quaint guesthouse near the old centre of York.”
The guest house is well located right by the old city centre - it was quiet and in a good location. Parking was well organised - you can drop off bags immediately North of the guest house & then park around the corner. The breakfast was good. Overall it was quaint with something of a Harry Potter vibe. Good value for the price.
