We have just returned from a weekend away and booked Cumbria House for one night based on previous reviews, price and also because they are one of the few guesthouses in York that will take a one night booking over the weekend.

As soon as we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice, Elaine met us and at once made us feel at home, the room [en-suite] was perfect and spotless, plenty of tea & coffee, at breakfast a good choice of cereals, and the cooked brekkie was great , think we put on a few pounds.
