Cozy, clean and homey

This hotel felt more like a homey, cozy bed and breakfast with a friendly and service-minded married couple who catered to our every need, with a smile. They treat their guests like royalty and knew everyone by name.

We had an excellent stay. Julie and Alan are the most amazing hosts & people you will meet. If you are looking for a 5* hotel with gym and saunas this place aint for you. If you are looking for a clean local guest house 5 min from Minster with hosts who will go above & beyond the this is everything you could ask for. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We look forward to returning. Thank you

Weekend Christmas getaway

Fantastic stay, close to all the highlights of york, could not fault the accommodation. Both of proprietors are amazing and make you very welcome. We stayed in dec and the place was nicely decorated for Christmas, the gingerbread scent in the hallway was lovely. The accommodation is very clean and tidy with all you need for a comfortable stay.
