“A lovely weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012 via mobile

This b&b has really nice decor and has a homely and welcoming atmosphere. Our room was nicely decorated and well equipped with chocolates, tea etc. Our only criticism was that the room was a bit cold but it was snowing. Having met the host we think she will rectify this asap and she did offer us extra blankets. Lovely breakfast with lots of choice.

“Avondale Guest House,York UK”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

My first stop on an all-over-England-trip took me to York. Stayed at Avondale Guest House a family runned B&B. Carol is a wonderful host to have and the breakfast was simply marvellous! Various options but an absolute must have is the whisky porridge! Very friendly staff and always ready to help you. Stayed in the single bedroom ensuite which is called Daisy. Small room but beautifully decorated and everything one needs. Sadly York wasn't that interesting (well enough for a one night stay!) but Carol and her team made that more than up. Absolutely recommedable!

Room Tip: Had a look at some other rooms and they all look nice!

“Best B&B I've been to!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

person found this review helpful

This was the best B&B me and my fiance have ever been to. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home and given everything we wanted or needed.
The place was clean,cosy and very inviting. The breakfasts were freshly cooked with fresh, local ingrediants and there was a large range to choose from. It was this weekend that my partner propsed to me and Carole helped in every way she could with the surprize. Its a weekend i will never forget and staying in Avondale Guest House was the perfect choice for a perfect weekend!!
Needless to say We booked again for next year straight away and will continue to stay there for years to come. Thank you Carole

“Excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011 via mobile

Just got back from an excellent 2 night stay at the Avondale. Carole and her staff were very friendly and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. It's a lovely guest house and there's a choice of 6 delicious breakfasts (I was just said I didn't get to try all of them!)
