Turn off busy Bootham Road along leafy St Peter’s Grove to this large B&B, and the hustle and bustle of the city instantly slip away. And yet York Minster and city sights are only a 10- to 15-minute walk. The impressive, red-brick Victorian house - built for a tobacco merchant - has been carefully converted into one of the city’s best-value B&Bs. Bedrooms are light and modern in creams, taupes and pale greys, and carefully furnished in a simple, uncluttered style while bathrooms are shower-only (except for two rooms) and can be a squeeze in some. It’s worth upgrading to the bigger double rooms or opting for a room in one of the two new-build annexes at the rear for more space. The latter also make a good choice for groups of friends or family gatherings.
Breakfast in the airy and light dining-room offers a freshly cooked choice including omelettes, eggs Benedict and a full cooked Yorkshire grill with vegan and vegetarian options. Staff are friendly and helpful with excellent local knowledge including good suggestions for evening meals. Throw in free car parking, help-yourself hot drinks, and happy hour at the bar and this makes a good choice for people who want a homely base for city sight-seeing.
