Guest review

9.0

The hotel is gorgeous and perfectly located -- the gardens are perfect and the food was delicious. The staff is extremely attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent stay (even going so far as to mail us something we forgot).

− The *only* reason I'm not giving this a 10 is that there's no AC, and also no screens on the windows. This meant a bee ended up inside the room when we got home and I had to deal with it before we went to sleep, which was annoying.

Perfect . Claim , restful and luxurious

10.0

A fantastic hotel right next to York Minster. Exceptional quality throughout — immaculate rooms and a genuinely five-star feel from start to finish. The beautiful garden backing onto the Roman wall is a real highlight. The Minster is 5 minutes on foot, and the rest of the historic centre . Helen, Kendall and their team could not have done more for us — warm, friendly and attentive at every turn. Highly recommended.they even went out of their way to set up a projector to watch the England v Norway match !!
