Breakfast includes freshly-baked homemade breads, a cooked English Breakfast, and gluten-free and vegetarian options. Guests select their hot breakfast items the evening before from a printed menu.

Themed Rooms

Each room is named after a York landmark, such as The Shambles, Stonegate, or Ebor Suite. All rooms have a private bathroom with shower, a reading chair, and a TV. The Ebor Suite offers a self-contained living area with a small courtyard and optional kitchen access.

Location & Access

The guest house sits in a quiet cul-de-sac in the Bootham area, 600 metres on foot from York Minster. The National Railway Museum, The Shambles, Jorvik Viking Centre, and York Rail station are all within a 15-minute walk. A scenic route through the Museum Gardens connects the guest house to the city centre.

Parking & Practicalities
