It wasn't just a hotel, it was a home. The whole interior was cozy and inviting. The energy is as positive as words can describe. The breakfast offered was simply delicious. In any case, we will go back when we find ourselves in York again.

    Nice guesthouse with friendly host and decent facilities. Room was large and comfortable with lots of amenities. Location was fine and a quiet road. Near enough the city centre but far enough for a healthy walk. Would stay again. Thank you.
