    High quality and attention to detail throughout the property, each room is individually styled with character and luxury. The hosts are charming and helpful. Breakfast is cooked & served by the hosts and is excellent Parking on site is a bonus, there is an easy walk to the city centre. Benefit of being outside the centre is that it is quiet at night and an excellent nights sleep guaranteed in the comfy bed.

    Lovely hosts, friendly, chatty and a hive of information, great location, quiet but within 15/20 mins walk of the city centre and all its attractions. Compact but comfortable room, everything you need for a short stay.. comfortable bed, plenty of places to hang and unpack clothes properly and the full English breakfast was lovely... especially the sausage and homemade bread and jam😁

    Lovely hosts .... very helpful & friendly, who gave us lots of info about getting around York. Lovely charming old house with character. Able to park, with a permit, outside the property. Lovely breakfast. Great location for walking in to the city centre. Clean room and bathroom. Fan provided in the room, as the attic room was quite stuffy in the heat.

    The room was clean and the facilities were great. The bed is very comfortable and the decoration is lovely. The bathroom and surfaces were spotless. The location is perfect, a ten minute walk from the city centre and yet out of the way enough for quiet nights and mornings. Parking is close by. Best of all is the host, Roger, who was the most accommodation host I have ever encountered - he made us feel so comfortable and looked after. I can't wait to stay at Blenheim Guest House again!
