Dunns Houses Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast (Newcastle)

Advantages: Warm welcome, friendly, excellent service, good value
Disadvantages: None that we found

...March 2008 - we have just enjoyed a lovely weekend staying at newly refurbished "The Old Farmhouse" Bed & Breakfast at Raskelf near Easingwold, York. We found this to be an excellent location for visiting York as it's just 20 minutes away, but in the countryside. We stayed here some years ago but since then it's been refurbished to a far higher standard than we expected with tastefully decorated en-suite bedrooms with very comfy beds. With a great breakfast in the morning , this was like home from home where nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. Hospitality was second to none and with a really friendly atmosphere. There were plenty places to eat out locally, within walking distance even! Recommend you visit their new website on www.theoldfarmhouseraskelfyork.co.uk... Read review

We arrived in Turku by train and walked the route in ten minutes so the location is good yet still quiet. Look hard, it's not easy to spot. The doorway looks like all the doorways on the block which is full of shops and offices. There is an entry buzzer to let you in; once you check in you'll have a key for this door. The B and B is up a couple of flights and there's no lift. It's not too bad but people with mobility problems should be aware of this. We hadn't booked in advance but there was a room available. We were checked in without fuss and while the owner wasn't effusive she was friendly enough. The bedrooms are off the main corridor as are the shared shower rooms. This does mean a certain amount of noise as... Read review

Advantages: You are given your own front door's keys so you can come and go as you please.
Disadvantages: You will need to share the bathroom with the other room.

...I stayed at this bed & breakfast in May 2009 and found it easygoing, friendly and comfortable. It is a very informal & quiet place; the best way to describe it is by saying that the rooms look like you are staying at your best (girl)friend's house for the week end (basically, it has a very homely feeling). It is ideal if you are visiting York for 2-3 days or for a quite week end there. £30 per person, per night. The owner can arrange for all sorts of breakfasts (special diets, etc) and she will cook them in the kitchen in front of your eyes while you sit at the table. It is about 10 min walk from the city centre and from the train station.... Read review
