The hotel is based in a residential area; a 15 minute walk from York Minster.
The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was very good. The staff were friendly.
We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful stay. The Staff is so friendly and the included breakfast was restaurant quality with a homemade feel. The towels were so fluffy and the beds, while looking antique, had modern mattresses that were very comfortable. The rooms were quiet and we all slept well after hiking around York.
This is a charming little b&b. The breakfast service was very good and all the staff were kind. Small and cozy atmosphere. 15-20 minute easy walk to Minster down town. A good shop for snacks across the street and a good pub about 10 minutes away.
Lovely property with lots of original features and onsite parking.
Located within 15 minutes walk of York centre.
We could not fault the cleanliness of this lovely B & B
Our bedroom and bathroom were spacious and well equiped( first floor room 11)
The bed was very comfortable too which is always a bonus.
The room is located on the 1st floor at the front of the property and as the windows are single glazed original sash cord windows, they dont block out traffic noise completely so if your a light sleeper this room might not suit you.
Our breakfast was excellent. Quality produce. All items of cooked food were prepared perfectly and served hot.
Friendly cheerfull staff.
It was our 25th Anniversary Celebration weekend which was perfect.
We will definately stay at Ascot House York again.
What’s lovely place to stay. Large and comfortable room, excellent facilities and a beautiful ambiance. The breakfast was first class and we received a lovely recommendation for a light evening meal nearby. It is very walkable into the centre of York, but at one point we chose to take the bus and that too is both convenient and easy.
We would not hesitate to recommend Ascot House and will make it our first choice on any subsequent visit to York.
Just had a 2 night stay at Ascot House with our dog Sid. I can’t praise it enough for cleanliness, breakfast, room size and decor with a fabulous bathroom. The staff at breakfast were extremely friendly and helpful (I have Coeliac disease which they catered for very well). Owner was very welcoming and even came to personally say goodbye. The house was beautiful and very elegant.
Fabulous stay from start to finish. Easy to park at the back of the hotel and bus into centre of York. Handy wine bar opposite the hotel plus a convenience store. Breakfast delicious. Will definitely return on my next trip to York.
