We arrived a day before new years eve and wow! A five minute walk from the local pub and about 10 minutes from York city center. Bruce was amazingly helpful, pointing out places of interest on a map he had, always willing to stop for a chat, he is a true gent. His breakfasts are very nice as are the Alaskan waffles....bring your camera to breakfast! Id recommend it to anyone, in my opinion, there shouldnt be any review below 3/4 stars on here!

A wonderful example of American hospitality in a British setting. Bruce is a West Coast American married to a British woman who runs this guest house with warmth, enthusiasm, attention to detail and and the big hearted, genuine friendliness more commonly associated with the American Mid-West (a generation or two ago ..). Rooms are small but tidy, well equiped (good mattresses), the small items (coffee, cookies, towels etc) in generous supply. Very generous(English) breakfasts ... don't miss the Alsacan waffle.

Stayed at Romley House very recently - room was on the small size but there was only the two of us - you don't spend much time in your room anyway!!!
We had an afternoon at York Races - Wonderful, then the next day site seeing also wonderful as York is such an interesting city.
Breakfast was really filling, nicely cooked and presented and of course Bruce's waffles - nice touch. Bruce is very charming and informative and seems to enjoy people. We were made very welcome and would certainly visit again.

i was in a state of panic as I got in there as I had just found out I had been booked in a village 2.5 hours away
I was calmed ,soothed and most generously treated by the owner from the 1st to the last day.
i recommend this place wholeheartedly
