“This Victorian villa, dating back to 1869, strikes me as a particularly charming base for exploring York, more so with your four-legged friend in tow; imagine returning from the city walls to unwind in its garden. Its award-winning breakfasts, featuring locally sourced ingredients, sound like an excellent way to start the day before venturing out to York Minster. A stay here feels both convenient and steeped in the city's history.”

The breakfast included a tasty, freshly cooked meal (I especially enjoyed the eggs). The location was also convenient. It was only a twenty-minute walk to the cathedral and other city center attractions.
The room I stayed in felt quite cold. I also noticed that the hospitality tray was not replenished the next day (it was a little disappointing).
