My husband and I visited York city for 4 days during September 2009. The base for our stay was a B&B named Holmlea Guesthouse.
Why we chose it?
Before we started our trip we searched on the internet trying to find reasonably priced accommodation that ideally was close to the tourist areas of York. Most B&Bs and hotels we found charged at least £60 for a double room per night. However Holmlea was an exception. On their own website they advertised £45 for a double room with private bathroom, but not en-suite. Personally I?m not used to a room without an en-suite bathroom, so I hesitated to choose Holmlea. We searched again and found even if you were prepared to pay £60 we still couldn?t get a room with en-suite bathroom. So we decided to take a chance with Holmlea.

Just returned from staying at Carlton Housewith my wife for our wedding anniversary.
This place is fantastic, it really is.
Have stayed in York on other occasions and always tend to pay over the odds hoping money brings service. The Carlton although not cheap is fantastic value for money and provides the quality of service expected from the top end hotels.
Although in the guest house category I would class this place as a hotel with the added value of that special guest house service.
Arrival was greeted by friendly smile, explanation of facilities, room, parking and location.
Our room was on the first floor,pleasing pastle colours nice double bed, plenty of space with modern ensuite.
The breakfast was in the basement - very light and bright, tables set out perfectly, choices of fruits, juices, cereals and various cooked ...
Advantages: Very interesting, lots to see, great cafe, beautiful garden Disadvantages: None
I went to visit the Treasurer's House on a rainy day in York, mainly to get out of the rain. I didn't have anywhere near enough time to see everything in the house, as I had arranged to meet family afterwards. I will definitely be going back.
The Treasurer's House is a 17th and 18th century mansion house in the centre of York, just round the corner from the York Minster. It was originally home to the treasurers of York and was built on a Roman road. It was bought by wealthy local industrialist Frank Green and restored between 1897 and 1930. It was the first house ever to be given to the National Trust complete with a significant collection.
The house is a mixture of period settings, incorporating features from different historical periods, all created by one man. Each room is decorated in a different historic style. Also ...
