Short Break
No welcome pack, no fridge, very uncomfortable pillows, no window with a view in bedroom so very dark. Very helpful host and friendly, lovely breakfast, good location for York central, rather surprised to be charged for car parking.

Not good
I bought this stay for my wife and mother in law. My wife’s room had a leak which wasn’t rectified meaning she couldn’t use the shower. The breakfast wast also poor quality and when mentioned to staff my wife was told “oh really”
