“Home away from home, comfortable and great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in the deluxe suite rm no1 (first floor to the right of the desk) for a week as we were in York to visit friends.Jackie and her staff do a great job of hosting you as their guests in a home like setting. The coffee at breakfast was a french press pot! A coffee lovers dream! rooms were clean, full breakfast was substantial enough to get us through until our evening dinner. The hotel is in a residential area, and only a 10 minute walk to the Micklegate Bar entrance to the walled city. When you stay here, you get away from the commercial hotel experience, and are welcomed into someone's home.

“Dated and Uninviting”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

I visited this B&B with my girlfriend and the rooms looked really nice on the website and i was fairly happy with the price per room per night. However, when we were shown our room it was nothing like the modern photos - it was a sif we had gone back to the 1970's. The furniture, decor, carpet and bathroom were very dated!!

The heating system was awful, we were left freezing at night as we returned from a nice night out in York. We missed the breakfast by 10 minutes and were offered egg and toast, however, this wasnt anything to sing about - the egg was undercooked and the toast cold.

I did inform the lady on reception how unhappy i had been during our stay, nothing was said or done about it (no customer service)!! We certainly shall not be returning to this B&B. Please ensure if you book you ask for a refurbished room - the ones they show on their website.

Great city visit - just a shame i booked this place. Pay a little extra and go more central, it will be worth it.

“Warm welcome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

Very friendly, helpful and easy-going staff - and a really good breakfast: local bacon and sausages and a lovely touch was bringing the wholemeal toast wrapped in a white napkin to keep warm - plus real butter curls and a dish of marmalade. We had a quiet room at the top of the hotel with a bath and found it fine.
