We have stayed at St Mary's several times over the last few years and hope to visit again very soon. The location is conveniently central and yet very peaceful. Rooms are lovely and clean, with extremely comfortable beds. The en-suites are excellent, again spotlessly clean with powerful showers. The breakfasts offer good variety and great quality and are always very... More

This is a lovely guest house run by very friendly and helpful people. It is situated close to town - a quick 10min walk from some great quirky pubs, restaurants and shops. Our room was huge and had everything we needed - including a hair dryer. The breakfasts were wonderful! One negative was the noise made by the other guests... More

Four of us stayed at St Mary's last weekend, and all i can say is if you're looking for somewhere to stay in York you would have to go a long way to beat this. Lovely and clean (a priority for me), really comfy bed, and quiet, had two great nights sleep. Within walking distance to the centre, about 7... More

We stayed at St Mary's for two nights and were very pleased with the choice. The rooms were big enough and had been refurbished. We had everything that we needed. Barry and his staff were all very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. The house is near enough to the City and the railway station which was great. It... More

We chose this guest house mainly because of the reviews on Tripadvisor, and we were not disappointed. From Barry's friendly welcome, to Carolyn's chat at breakfast we thought St Mary's was the ideal place for a short stay in York. It is only about 7 minutes' walk to the town centre and all attractions. The room was spotless, and was... More

Thank you to Caroline and Barry for such a lovely stay! We stayed three nights and couldn't fault a thing! The bedroom was lovely and big. Generous shower room (the previous reviews that called it tiny should perhaps consider dieting - How much time do you spend in the shower anyway?). Breakfast was delicious and filling! Caroline was always happy... More
