A boutique hotel in the heart of York just a 10-minute walk from York Minster.

The building is a Grade II Listed Regency townhouse with sash windows, high ceilings, a sweeping central staircase, and ivy around the door. Inside you’ll find pantries stocked full of treats, great restaurant food throughout the day, drinks from the bar and a spa centred on bespoke therapies.

A very nice room with kind staff. The room was clean and big, and we loved the personal touch for our honeymoon. Being able to use the pantry was lovely! It was filled with all sorts of snacks. The location was very close to the centre of York, a short walk to the Minster. The breakfast was superb as well!

We loved Minster Walk Guesthouse! The location was great, very close to the town centre. The property was very cosy and welcoming, just what we were looking for. There were some lovely little extra touches, for example mini mince pies and a liquor waiting for us in our room and mulled wine in the downstairs lounge. The breakfast was brilliant, lovely to have it delivered to our room and they were very good at accomodating my husbands gluten allergy.

The owners, Michal and Gaby, are very friendly and welcoming and very accommodating. They make you feel at home straight from the start. They know a lot about York and North Yorkshire and have provided us with very useful information about what there is to see and also which restaurants to go to. The B&B is strategically situated on the road near the town centre, at less than 10 minute’s walk. We had a lovely room with an en suite on the first floor at the front. The beds are made up daily, the bathroom is cleaned daily, it is all very clean. The pub downstairs is a hub for the locals and the guests, friendly atmosphere. Breakfast is very good, English and continental. We certainly recommend the Burton Stone Inn!

Our stay at Barbican House was amazing. Adorable furnishing and room decor (not only in the room itself but in the house in general as well) made the atmosphere comfortable and cosy. Everything was clean and quiet and our host was very helpful as well. A great place to stay in York. I will be back!!

    The lodge is perfect for a couples getaway. The interior design is amazing, very unique. The location is great, very quiet and relaxing but a short drive from York and a number of stunning villages. The host made the holiday for us though, Kay was great and the attention to detail was outstanding. We've been on a number of holidays and this was a stand out. Can't wait to be back.

    The decor was quirky but stylish. A lot of attention has been made to design and if you like dark moody sumptuous decor then the Impossible is for you. Hand made soap and pastries and coffee in bed were a lovely touch and the staff couldn’t be more attentive. We loved the 4 poster bed and velvet drapes. Touch of luxury.

    Beautifully located along the River. Perfect location within a peaceful village and a gorgeous pub 2mins walk away. Enjoyed two lovely meals from the Blacksmiths pub, the food is gorgeous. The property was very clean and cosy, and had everything we needed. Ideal for the designer outlet shopping centre as 5mins away in car. Log burner was an added bonus on those cold nights. Bed very comfy, slept like a log. We even got milk left in the fridge and the hut was lovely and warm for when we arrived.

    The apartment is absolutely stunning - designer everything. It was largely immaculate (literally spotless) with a couple of very small exceptions, noted below. Smeg kettle and toaster, no less. Beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms with an open plan living room with dining area, kitchen, living area and floor to ceiling windows. Lovely welcome pack. Short walk to the attractions of York.
