I recently stayed for 2 nights and found it the best bed and breakfast we have stayed in the UK. Steve was great when we arrived, carried our bags and arranged a taxi to our first venue. Both Tricia and Steve were helpful with eateries and general advice about York. The rooms/bathroom were clean and tidy and the breakfast was... More

Warm welcome, beautiful decor, exellent breakfast! Steve and Tricia are both so welcoming and helpful. Very clean, super location. If in York again we will definitely be back at The Bloomsbury. There wasn't much parking when we arrived but Steve re-organised the cars so we had a spot. He really did go above and beyond to help us.

We stayed two nights and saw most of York which is within walking distance. The riverside walk is picturesque and an easy way to get to the centre. Our room was at the back on the top floor and was small but had enough space for a short stay ,after all how much time does one stay in the room... More

Warm welcome on arrival. Each room named after flowers and we were given the lily which is front of house. Could not fault anything about this guest house and everything you read on reveiws is spot on. The breakfast was good with lots of choice and we did not eat again until evening. The cleanliness is excellent (I am a... More

Only stayed a couple of nights but loved it. Wished we could have stayed longer. Charming and very helpful hosts, excellent with good advice. Stayed in two different rooms and both were very comfortable. All rooms are furnished and decorated individually and stylishly; in my opinion whichever room you take you will not be disappointed. Easy 15 minute walk to... More

Lovely room (Holly Berry) within easy walking distance of the town center in York. Hosts Louisa and David Weston that provide great advice on everything from site-seeing to restaurants to books, and went out of their way to give me advice on what it takes to run a B&B as that's something I'm thinking about down the road. Good value... More

An excellent good value B&B some 15 minutes walk from York city centre. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and well looked after...the water pressure in the shower could be a tad stronger but it's a Bed & Breakfast not a Bed & Bathroom! The hosts and staff are helpful and very friendly. Their advice on the best local places... More

We managed to squeeze in for a 1 night stay when they had a gap between longer stays and couldn't complain about a thing. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we booked - vegetarian sausages were brought in special with no fuss. The location is a little out of the centre but a pleasant 15 minutes... More
