My wife stayed here on business recently, she found the owners really helpful and they could not do enough for her. Little touches like taking an interest in your work and remembering your name make a real difference. They even passed the ultimate test of offering extra toast at breakfast!

I've been meaning to write this for ages - came up for a wedding in August 2011 and had to choose somewhere to stay - this B&B is really wonderful - it's on the river and really central and you could walk it from station but if you have bags maybe not. When the cab dropped me off at the... More

We stayed in this quiet clean & well positioned guest house. We had a nice breakfast & welcome cup of tea on arrival. The rooms are not huge but comfortable. We were allowed to leave our car for the day as parking in York town is expensive, from here we walked to all the tourist sites in York. I would... More

Paul and Cynthy The Abbey Guest House is located on the river and only a very short walk to the center of town. Parking is very convenient as the house has a parking area. The common areas and our room were very clean, neat, and modern. Our room had three good sized windows overlooking the river that gave us plenty... More

Situated in an excellent if coming to York by train-- inn is less than 5 minutes walk from the train station (and the National Railway museum). Hosts Gill and Alec provided us with a beautiful room with a very comfortable bed, and an ample breakfast. House was spotlessly clean, our room was fresh and ready when we arrived. A great... More

Me and my partner stayed here and felt very welcomed when we arrived on the Saturday morning to start our two night stay at the Abbey Guest House. We were greeted with tea, coffee and hot chocolate brownies whilst our room was being cleaned. Gill helped us with directions and the local attractions available in York, so we left our... More

Firstly we arrived after a few hours of travelling and was pleased to see the guest house as i was desperate to unload my bags and my girlfriends bags and use the toilet! Very cold and unfriendly welcome by Gill, i explained i needed the toilet desperately but was told to move my car even though the car park was... More

We’re very sorry that these guests have left us with this impression as it was not at all what was intended by us and we think that the comments given above relate to one thing – unrealistic expectations not being met. As an initial point though, it does seem unfair that their gradings of us on Trip Advisor for Value,... More

Recently stayed there over Easter. The B & B is a traditional British B & B and very nice with it. The couple who own the Abbey are lovely. The quality of the breakfast was impressive and the location was great for walking to the tourist sites. The room was extremely clean and tidy and was a good venue for... More
