How the city's mighty walls have managed to contain the heaving vintage energy of this golden little guesthouse in Monkgate, we'll never know. Best affordable option so far.
This exceptional guesthouse property situated only yards from York historic castle walls in the central Monkgate area grabs consistently rave reviews on travel sites. Built in the early 1800s and graced with lashings of period character, this handsome bed breakfast property must rank as one of the best budget hotels in York City Centre, especially where families are concerned. The abundance of deft, personal touches makes it above all else a cheerful and cosy experience, from the chirpy children’s bedspreads featuring Pooh Bear to the pride of teddies nestling amongst the alcoves, this is a guesthouse with children of all ages in mind. The attention to detail is nothing short of prodigious: a small toilet seat, box to reach the loo, coat hooks for the little ones in mind and a folder containing all you need to know about child friendly restaurants in the city. An absolute joy from the moment you enter to the time you leave. Winner of several recent awards.
