I'd requested a window view room, and our second story view looked down on the River Ouse. The Guest House's location in town is great, being a five minute walk from the York Train Station via the new pedestrian bridge and within easy walking of everything else in town. The nearby Abbey's gorgeous gardens provided an especially pleasant shortcut into town, rain or shine. Then there were the accommodations. After staying in a cramped London hotel, we felt as if we could breathe! The bed was spacious, and the room and toilet facilities were great. I think the only criticism I can offer at all is that the shower drain was slow. The human element was wonderful, too. The owners of the Guest House were actually away, leaving us in the care of a professional B&B sitter. She was a kind, attentive hostess, happy to help us with anything we needed. We were greeted upon arrival with Yorkshire tea and warmed brownies! Our breakfasts were wonderful, too. She worked with our schedule so that we could eat there before doing a day tour and before our train departed. The default breakfast is a Full English, which we didn't do. My husband was happy with just the meat portion of the breakfast (those Yorkshire sausages...! don't expect teeny tiny American-style breakfast sausages) while I tried both of the lighter options, salmon with scrambled eggs and then Eggs Benedict. All accompanied by Yorkshire tea, of course, along with fresh toast. The breakfast bar included yogurt, a really good muesli, fresh fruit, and three excellent local jams and marmalades. We felt well-fortified for the day's adventures. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The rooms are beautiful, sizable, quaint, cozy , warm and beautifully decorated. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are provided with a serving area of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and cookies. Really nice to come back to after a full day out and about. The living room and dinning room is also inviting and playfully and warmly decorated. Fiona left menu cards of with a large selection of breakfast options. Breakfast was fantastic. I don't want to leave. I can't say enough about this lovely inn.

We were greeted by staff who showed us our room for four. It was spacious. Also, we had let them know our daughter was celebrating her birthday and when we arrived, there were balloons on her bed and a cake to share. We had a wonderful stay and would stay here again.

Waking up each day to the smell of bread baking was a special treat. Impeccably clean. Informative and helpful hosts with helpful, insiders advice on York sights and dining.

Last year we did a two week road trip through the UK (England, Scotland, and Ireland), this was by far the best B&B and by far our favorite city!

The owners are incredibly kind and considerate, and Steve is especially is fun to talk to. He was helpful when we were planning our trip, and had great recommendations of places to go while we were there. The rooms are decorated nicely, and feel traditiional without being dated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice-- it had recently been remodeled and even had a rain shower. Most of the rooms have a pretty view of gardens or the town. The location is an easy fifteen minute walk from the city walls and the Minster. The two breakfasts we had here were the best we had in the UK: made to order, all locally sourced, and without a doubt the best breakfast sausage I've ever had. Other perks: very affordable rates, free tea and cookies in your room, access to guide books, free WiFi, and an adorable Yorkie who acts as a greeter in the afternoon (much to Steve's dismay). I would love to go back to York, and I'd love to stay at the Bloomsbury again.

They have put a lot of money into making it a lovely place to stay. More importantly, the owners, Tricia and Steve were super welcoming.

I mostly enjoyed the Continental but they had ALL sorts of cooked options. I am (more than) a bit of a beer geek. I asked Steve for some pub recommendations and he was super knowledgeable... and even took time to draw me maps (I also get lost easily.)

The staff are really friendly and treat you like honoured guests. Our room was prettily furnished and the only negatives are that we look into a busy (and noisy) road and street lights shine straight into the room. The blackout blinds help enormously in mitigation. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear people in the room above loudly enough to keep you awake and/or wake you up. There are remains of some of the old York Priory in the garden which is really cool. Breakfast is from 0730h to 0930h and there is a good menu of varied cooked dishes plus cereals, fruits, yoghurts, bread etc. The weekend we stayed there is a minimum 2 night booking rule - not sure if this is year-round or not - and we booked through the Visit York site. Our superior double room was £158 (room not pp) including breakfast. There is also a residents bar. We' definitely stay here again.
