York Stay

Great stay at Thompsons Arms while visiting family in the area. Clean and comfortable room, very friendly hosts and must mention the terrific cooked breakfasts! An added treat was the local musicians playing folk songs in the bar, a monthly event, so lucky to catch it :-) Also a convenient location for visiting York, which was as delightful and interesting as ever.

Huge room with everything I would need for an overnight stay. Plenty of tea, coffee, and toiletries. Room was spotlessly clean and I had a great night's sleep in the comfortable bed. As a lone traveller, I was made to feel really welcome and would definitely return.

B&B York

Booked for one night whilst working at York Racecourse. Stuart and Lilli are absolutely fabulous hosts nothing too much trouble. My room was clean, comfortable and had a good shower. The cooked english breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. I would definitely recommend and will be looking to book again for next year. I nearly forgot Carling Lager at £3.50 a pint what more could you want.

We attended a near by wedding, the accommodation was perfect for what we needed, the owners were friendly, couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating, the surrounding area was lovely just a shame we didn’t have more time to explore.

Excellent value for money.

Two adults and 2 children stayed in no2 cottage. A compact one bedroom cottage with a large comfortable bed and sofa bed in sitting room. Kitchen has all you need for short stay. Vehicles kept in gated area, so very secure. Stu and his wife are friendly, their breakfast was excellent quality for price (additional charge). This must be the cheapest pub in the UK.(£3 pint) Overall we had a very pleasant 3 nights. Thank you.
