Me and my husband recently stayed here. Only a short 10-15 minute walk to the centre, lots of places to dine, quiet and safe. Ascot house was warm, friendly staff, clean & the english breakfast was piping hot. Would highly recommend staying here. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, clean and loaded with character.

We both fell in love with this beautiful Victorian house and its wonderful landlady. We were made very welcome and given a map of York together with an explanation about the Bars and Gates. Our room was imaculate and boasted a modern shower room, with plenty of towels. There was plenty to chose from for breakfast, but we both opted for the Full English (of course) locally sourced sausage and bacon. There is a car park, but i can't remember seeing a lift. We're already planning a return visit.

What’s lovely place to stay. Large and comfortable room, excellent facilities and a beautiful ambiance. The breakfast was first class and we received a lovely recommendation for a light evening meal nearby. It is very walkable into the centre of York, but at one point we chose to take the bus and that too is both convenient and easy. We would not hesitate to recommend Ascot House and will make it our first choice on any subsequent visit to York.

Brilliant stay

Just had a 2 night stay at Ascot House with our dog Sid. I can’t praise it enough for cleanliness, breakfast, room size and decor with a fabulous bathroom. The staff at breakfast were extremely friendly and helpful (I have Coeliac disease which they catered for very well). Owner was very welcoming and even came to personally say goodbye. The house was beautiful and very elegant.

A Real Gem in York.

Two nights in York and we couldn't have chose a better place to stay. Ascot house was excellent, the décor and furnishings are traditionally English, our room was immaculately clean and very comfortable with a really good recently modernised en-suite bathroom. We were met in reception by the owner who was absolutely charming and made us feel at home straight away Our breakfasts were as good as the rest of the service, with an excellent choice that was beautifully cooked and served really promptly. Overall, probably one of the very best places to stay in York.

Definitely NOT a Superior Room.

Room 2 is definitely NOT a Superior Double room as advertised. Small double bed and only a single seater chair. No room for two. The view of the small back yard was fantastic if you like looking at paving stones. We chose to find another hotel, but the landlady was polite and understanding.
