Great place to stay, really close to the town centre, good breakfast, and the couple who run it are really friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in York.

Nicely situated and very well appointed B & B, a pleasant walk from the city centre. Owners very helpful, good breakfast for both quality and quantity and the "Oriental room" is beautifully furnished. Highly recommended!

Stayed here for 2 nights in March 2012. The b&b is situated in a residential road only a 5 minute walk to the city centre. The owners are always willing to assist if you have any queries about your stay. The bedroom was clean and spacious. Would stay here again.

Amber House is a short walk from the old city of York and a short drive into the city from the motorway, a perfect location. The room is spacious and comfortable. The shower and toilet are on the small side, but clean and nice looking. Breakfast is great, and parking is free (with a permit you get from the owner).... More

The room itself was clean enough the beds... More

We are also very disappointed, but we had anticipated you posting such a negative review. Even more than being disappointed, we find many of your comments extremely subjective, offensive, and in most cases, unwarranted. I do not intend to respond to all of your comments as our four star rating from Visit England and our other reviews on Trip Advisor... More

We stayed in the Amber House B&B in April 2012. It's situated in a lovely stone terrace about 10 minutes' walk from the centre of York in a quiet street. The owners are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble at breakfast. The room was grand, with a very comfortable bed (best nights' sleep in ages for the both... More
