“A great all round place to stay !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

person found this review helpful

Both my fiancee and I would like to start by saying a huge thank you to both Ken & Sue for making our first visit to York a very special one and making my birthday extra special !
Now to the review, The Dairy Guest House is a wonderful place to stay, with it`s 6 bedrooms we were in room number 1 looking over the small court yard at the back, it was a lovely laid out room with the most comfortable bed ever ! The shower was a little small, but did the job. The room was also kitted with tv/dvd , tea / coffee facilites , my only small issue with the room was that, what we thought was a connecting room, was in fact a door for a fitted waldrobe which was a bit narrow -
Breakfast you choose the night before and leave you menu on your table before 8pm - the breakfast choice doesnot change but still a good range to pick from - with ceral etc. to start with (help yourself) and then Ken cooks a mean full English to follow-
The b&b is located appx.10-15min slow walk into the centre of York and around 20mins from the railway station (we got a cab (5 mins) from the station and was under a fiver!).
We were both really impressed with Ken & Sue`s hospitality and would not put anybody off staying at the Dairy Guest House.
Just as a side note the b&b also has a good range of "Things to do leaflets" and we can recomend both the "Original Ghost Walk" and a meal at the "Waterfront Resturant" Amazingly both these venus are next door to each other and we only found the ghost walk meeting point (Kings Arms Pub) by chance as we stopped for dinner in the Waterfront !
Overall this was a much better way to stay in York rather than an overprice , over sized hotel.

Booked a last minute weekend away with my family. The location was perfect, didn't need the car for the time we were in York. We were greeted by Ken and shown to our room, which was very clean, and quiet. He gave us local information and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was great, there was a great selection, and a seperate kids menu as well. Would definitely recommed staying here to anyone. Brilliant!

“Good Base”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2010

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the Dairy Guest House on our recent trip to York. We'd only just arrived from overseas and found both the owner and the room great from the get go.
The owner was incredibly accommodating and helpful and the room whilst small was comfortable and had everything in it you needed. The room was made up each day and there was a selection for breakfast, but they allowed for special requests (ours being only 1 serve of the hot breakfast with extra toast to share the hot food).
It was an excellent location for getting into York and seeing the sights and there was an excellent recommendation for a place to eat at night.

“Nice Little Guest House”

My wife and I stayed at the Dairy Guest House during a recent visit to York. We found the owner to be friendly and informative and he was more than happy to spend time recommending places to visit and where to eat.
The Guest House is in a great location only a short walk from the city walls and they city centre. We stayed in one of the rooms off the court yard and found it to be spacious and comfortable. The breakfasts were good and they set us up for the day.
Overall I found the Dairy Guest House to be good value for money and in a good location for a visit to York.

“VERY CLEAN AND COMFTABLE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at this guest house for 2 nights - we found it very easily , I was initially concerned that it was on a main road but I have to say there was no problem at all , you could not here the traffic and we had the front bedroom.
The rooms were really clean , lots of free tea and coffee and complementry water.
The breakfast was very nice and plenty of it ! .
It was situated in a nice area with lovley bakeries and shops , only a short walk to the city centre.
I would certainly go again and take my children as well .
Looking at the earlier reviews I can only presume that the owners were different and it was a long time ago ?
There were no human hairs in our food !! or noises from the bedrooms upstairs.
