Experience York's charm, backed by our award-winning hospitality

The MonkBridge House Story

Welcome to MonkBridge House, our family-run guest house near historic York. We chose this 1864 house for its style and history, once home to city merchants and Lord Mayors.

Our goal was to reimagine the traditional B&B, blending Victorian charm with modern comfort.

We now offer eight stunning rooms, beautifully refurbished with new showers, air filtration, underfloor heating, and updated Wi-Fi.

Our central location means you're just a short walk from York Minster and vibrant city life,  but away from the City hustle and bustle, making us the perfect base for your break or romantic getaway.
