“Best B&B on our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

We stayed here the very last of July this last summer and this was our favorite (which is saying something as we really found some nice places).
The rooms are very cleanand the beds were quite comfortable. Small by American standards, but certainly enough room. We stayed in the family room which was a good size for two adults and two teenagers. The owners were great - very kind and accommodating. Location was nice - quick access to walk by the river into the city.
Overall this B&B made a great visit that much more enjoyable. We'd travel out of our way to go to this place again.

“An enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

I stayed here in August 2011. It's in a handy location, only a 10-15 minute walk into town. The single room I stayed in was modern and clean. There is car parking space behind the house for guest use, which was one of the main reasons I chose to stay here, however space is somewhat limited. There were a few other issues which I was assured would be sorted out after my departure (related to wi-fi access and shower water temperature); judging by recent good reviews, these issues obviously aren't a problem anymore. They were the only drawbacks to what was otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

“Friendly and accomodating B+B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We stayed at the Hillcrest for 2 nights in the family room, with my Mum and friends for my hen do. The B+B was really lovely, the staff were very friendly and the place was clean and tidy.

Food at breakfast was decent and overall good value.

It's a bit far out of York, but a nice walk into the city.

“Comfortable stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

Stayed two nights in October.Had the attic room which was a good size and had everything we needed. Helpful host with good hints about what to do and see in York. They were very busy but managed to provide a great breakfast without us having to wait too long.
