We had a marvellous time.
Margaret
The views from all windows were wonderful so despite the bad weather ,didnât feel locked away.The beds were comfortable and the bedding of a very good quality.We were surprised that the towels included bath sheets ,these are usually bath towels, much smaller. In all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at York House ,and hope to come back again, despite the 40 stairs !

It is in an excellent location with great views in two directions and lots to see. Almost too good to be true. The accommodation was second to none and it 'made' our holiday. Very much hope we can come back sometime.
