We booked to stay here for our silver wedding anniversary. The prices were very reasonable considering other guesthouses prices in the area. The outside was undergoing renovation but this didn't affect us in any way. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean and well presented. The one big flaw was the bed.

We stayed for 2 nights mid-week and found the accommodation excellent. Our room was clean, warm and on the ground floor as requested. There was an ample supply of tea, sugar, milk etc and breakfast was as stated and ready at the time requested. Staff were very friendly and helpful and not in the least intrusive. There is a code...

Stayed here for one night and as the title says, it was ok.... We were led to believe we could check in any time after 10am but our room wasnt ready when we arrived just before 1pm and as we were on foot we had to wait outside until it was. The room was very clean but the decor was... More

Reasonably priced. Room was clean. Breakfast was basic including toast orange and yogurt but was fine, delivered to your room at a prearranged time. We were kept up on one night by someone in next room who felt it was OK to watch TV until 4.00am when we had to bang on wall! No hooks in bathroom for towels and... More

Having been at the University just under 2 years ago, myself and two uni friends planned a weekend visit to beautiful York. Holmlea couldn't have been better for our trip! It was just what we were after; very reasonably priced, lovely room, fantastic location and really lovely accommodating owners. We were able to arrive at our own pleasure, and Sara... More

Holmlea Guest House was a very pleasant surprise.They were flexible about the check-in time, as we arrived late. Everything went smooth. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. There are only less than 10 rooms, and everything was very quiet and we had a wonderful night sleep. Actually two. There is no breakfast room, but as a bonus they bring... More

We stayed in this guest house when we came to visit friends who now live in York. It was the coldest weekend of the year so far so I can forgive that the rooms were a little cold - there wasn't, however, any spare blankets to help keep you cosy in the cold nights! The room was very clean, tea... More

We stayed for two nights, the staff were lovely and the room was clean. When booking it was stated that the location was a few mins from York Minster but it was a good 15-20 minute walk into the city centre. It was a bit far out of the main town for me but we always enjoy spending time in... More

The room was clean and comfortable, what more could you need . Rather out of the way for walking but not really a problem.

My partner and I booked a room with private bathroom (non-ensuite but located just down the hallway - I personally preferred this as we had more room to get ready, etc.) for a 3-night stay in York. The room was located on the top floor but it was not too much hassle getting our suitcases upstairs. Breakfast was served on... More
