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 breakfasts. The service was first class and the full "yorkshire" was of a very high standard. The Carlton itself is a Georgian building which has been tastefully refurbished over its 4 floors retaining many original features and decorated in calming colours. There is a nice communal lounge where you can find information on eateries and other york events or just read a book. At the rear is ample parking for the 13 rooms, we left our keys and our car was moved to suit other comings and goings without any hinderance to our timetable.
Overall we would recommend The Carlton to everybody, familes, couples young or old. You are no more than 10 minutes slow walk to Micklegate Bar - One of the city walls entrances. Great place, great stay.
But remember Ssshhhhh.......don't tell anyone, lets keep it our secret!
