We had a really lovely stay here in October, and was one of the best B&B's we've stayed in. The hosts are very caring and attentive, with excellent advice for places to eat and things to do. The rooms are spotless and really cosy. The house has wonderful period features and being able to sit in the sitting room to... More

If you are after quality accommodation in York, look no further than Alexander House. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the breakfast and most of all the welcome we received were all second to none. (Even getting stuck in snow on the way with an unfortunate delay of a couple of hours couldn't have put a dent in the entire... More

We have returned after a long weekend spent at The Alexander House B & B. We received a wonderful welcome on our arrival. Our room on the first floor at the rear of the property had recently been refurbished to a very high standard. Cleanliness was second to none. The breakfasts were excellent - high quality produce. For those who... More

10 min walk to the centre (20 if you go by the river - lovely walk, thoroughly recommended), great hosts, attention to every detail, super comfortable beds, tasty breakfast (yup - the fruit salad does deserve a special mention). One of the best B&B we've stayed in - book early to avoid disappointment! More

The room we stayed in having been recently refurbished, was very comfortable, bright & also very clean. The breakfast was excellent, a wide choice & as much as you liked. The kettle was always on & the tea was... More

It was the first B&B that we have stayed in, and Alexander House made it a memorable experience. David and Gillian are warm and excellent hosts, and... More

We booked a few months in advance and were pleased to find they still had rooms left as it seemed a popular weekend being just before Christmas. Alexander House is not quirky and with a wonky character like the centre of York, but is nicely decorated with quality furniture and furnishings. The Toilet/Shower-room we had was particularly nicely decorated with... More

We have just come back from a weekend at this fantasic B&B. The hotel room was very large, modern and very well presented. The breakfast in the morning was great. But more important the hosts could do enough to make sure our stay was a good one. It's around a 10 minute work into town. I would strongly recommend anybody... More
