Discover a historic and cultural city
York is a historic and cultural centre
York has so much to offer as a city even if you are only here for a few days. It is a city where ancient and modern walk hand in hand; a city founded nearly 2000 years ago by the Romans, occupied by the Vikings but one packed with the latest attractions – indeed something for everyone.

Great location in York
“Brilliant find! We were attending my son’s wedding at a venue just outside York and we couldn’t have picked a better place. It’s easy walking distance into the city, and has parking which is a real bonus. The rooms are brilliant, spacious, clean and very comfortable. The owners seemed to have thought of everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The breakfasts were amazing with lots of home made goodies and everything freshly cooked to order. We will definitely be back!
