We absolutely loved our room, it was so cosy and clean and when we woke up in the morning we seriously didn’t want to leave! As well as this, the owner was absolutely lovely, she even helped show us around York City Centre on the map as it was our first time! We will definitely be returning as we fell in love with it! Thank you so much!

    Lovely, friendly, attentive host that you only get with a small guest house. Great location; nice and quiet but only10 minute walk from the centre. The breakfast was delicious and perfectly cooked. We enjoyed our two nights here.

    The apartment was clean and fresh! The host went the extra mile to help make my husbands birthday special, sorting out balloons for me and a cake. My son left his keys behind, and she has gone above and beyond to help. Will definitely go back. Great location within a short walking distance of the city centre. Nice and quiet.

    Very cosy guest house and friendly host! It's a great location, only around 20-30 minutes walk to the city centre, not far away from the river where you also can have nice, relaxing walk in the nature. Absolutely loved our stay ❤️

    Great location, about 15 minutes to the city center. Free parking was really useful. We had big room with king size bed, it was comfortable and huge. There was clean, quiet, and cosy, only the birds were singing outside the window in the garden. It was amazing! Hosts are lovely and friendly. Breakfast was simple but fresh and healthy.

    Nice guesthouse with friendly host and decent facilities. Room was large and comfortable with lots of amenities. Location was fine and a quiet road. Near enough the city centre but far enough for a healthy walk. Would stay again. Thank you.

    The breakfast at St.Mary's guest house is the best experience I have ever had in the UK. Great location close to the railway station and city centre. Situated in a quiet terrace adjoining a lot of greens.
