This is a friendly hotel, the staff were very welcoming and informative. Our room, was as described, with four poster bed, was clean and well decorated. All the usual facilities and only 10 minutes walk from the centre of York.

The breakfast was excellent, plenty of it, served piping hot and freshly cooked.

Would we go back?............... YES

my second visit to this hotel and very enjoyable. the staff where very pleasant and helpful the room was very clean comfortable and well equipped being only ten mins walk from the centre this hotel is ideally situated. i would reccommend it highly the breakfast was good too, the hotel lives up to its name being very cottagey in appearance and decor, lovely. guests are free to come and go as they please and nothing seems to be too much trouble.

My hustband, daughter and partner have just come back from spending the weekend at this hotel.We would just like to let other people know that this hotel is far better than alot of the riviews make it out to be. We did stay in the superior rooms which are themed, eg the bluebell room which is all blue flowery chinz and the rose room, which is pink, but we did see a standard room which was also very nice. The staff were fantastic and were very helpful. The owner personally could not do enough for us and came out into the dining room to make sure we had enjoyed our breakfast and if we needed any maps or advice concerning York.We would definetly stay here again. Very good for walking into York and leaving the car in the secure hotel car park.

We stayed at The Cottage for two nights over Easter. It is about a fifteen minute walk to the city walls of York. The staff are very helpful, and the rooms are clean and bright, but the bedding and towels have seen better days, and the hotel is full of old dried flowers all over the place, a haven for dust! The breakfast is ample, and on the whole the stay was pleasant.
