York Uni is a combination of several colleges on one campus…read more It is set in beautiful grounds with lakes and has a pub and a bar, bookshop and library. I have stayed here as an academic but it really is the cheapest place to stay if you want a holiday or have business in York. Out of term time they do very cheap B & B and also self catering apartments for 6 or more. It is all under £100 each for the week. I think a twin room is around the £80 mark and that includes breakfast. It is an easy stroll into York. I remember one student saying he had gone for a walk to the kebab shop and seen some pseudo walls like a film set. NO The Barbican and medieval walls! Off the campus in the other direction is the village of Hesslington which has a couple of decent pubs that do food but of course there is all that York can offer in the way of food and entertainment the other way. Heslington makes a nice, quite change one evening though. The reason for the 4 stars. Well student accomodation is very basic but it is the b*y ducks! You cannot easily sit on the grass and you trail in duck pup. They started with 2 (think they are Canadian geese) and now they have hundreds! Anyway all of you wanting to visit York here is the cheap B & B! Giving away my secrets now it will be full when I want to go :)

The University of York campus is sandwiched between the city walls and the pretty village of…read moreHeslington. Its sixties concrete building were considered quite innovative at the time, I believe, but they take a bit of getting used to. Luckily, there's a very pleasant campus to help on that front, though the geese are far less welcoming. York is the only university in the country without a central student venue so don't expect a packed SU bar; the majority of the college bars are pretty dead, when they're open. The closest thing to a student bar you'll find is the King Charles XII pub in Heslington village; their cheap booze ensures they're rammed to the rafters with students in term-time. Otherwise it's but a twenty-minute walk to the centre of town and its plethora of bars, pubs and restaurants.

It covers Auckley, Branton, Finningley and Blaxton and has quite a high attendance rate but there are still a few spaces this year as far as I know. It is by far the very best nursery I've come across with my little boy, and I know that every parent at the school would say exactly the same thing. The nursery teacher, Mrs Foreman, is the most enthusiastic person I've ever met and the kids absolutely adore her (so do the parents!). I couldn't believe that the little monster who doesn't listen to a word I say will sit, completely mesmerised, when Mrs F reads him a story! If you live anywhere near this area at all, I'd highly recommend a visit to this nursery before you consider any others. I really can't express enough just how great it is (and no, I don't work there!)

I know a few people with kids at this school and they all say that it is really good. My son went…read moreto the nursery for a year and came on leaps and bounds. They seem to take a real interest in the kids and treat them all as individuals. My little boy was always bringing things home and telling us stories about what him and the other boys had been doing, which he never did at the day nursery he'd been to before. Parking is a bit of a problem at times as there isn't much room for the school and a lot of kids come from outside the area, so be really careful with little ones on the road. Otherwise I can't fault the place.

I must admit I am a bit of a car nut and have been to quite a few driving days at different places. This was by far the best so far with lots of driving and friendly down to earth instructors. My instructor Tim was very patent with me although I never really got the 180 degree spin correct!! I have booked the drifting course with them for early 2011 cant wait !
