We had booked a B&B in York city centre, but arrived to find no room for us. After several hours of anxiously trying to find somewhere to stay on a late Friday evening - Luckily The Old Vicarage came to our rescue. Having found that they had availability online, we drove out of the city centre (about 1/2 hour out) the owner Christine took us in even though we arrived at 10:30pm. She then made us tea and biscuits before making up our rooms. The Old Vicarage is full of charm, there is a large private car park. The owner is extremely kind, friendly, and full of charm herself. She certainly saved our weekend from disaster. Thank you.

“Lovely old place with plenty of character”

Stayed here with friends for another friends wedding at Drax, room was really nice and super comfortable. Breakfast was lovely too. Slightly dizzy but lovely old lady in charge, but speaking honestly she was definitely part of what made the visit very special!

“Lovely Old House, Lovely Owner”

The village is surrounded by power stations south of York, but when in the village you don't see any of that. The house is lovely and feels like a home with lounges with antiques and pictures and photographs. My wife loved the atmosphere. The B&B is run by an elderly lady who was genuinly nice to … Più

The village is surrounded by power stations south of York, but when in the village you don't see any of that. The house is lovely and feels like a home with lounges with antiques and pictures and photographs. My wife loved the atmosphere. The B&B is run by an elderly lady who was genuinly nice to talk to. She has little help and this means that you get a quirky experience. The room was nicely furnished with a lovely picture window view over the garden. It had a shower rather than a bath. The bathroom had soap but nothing else. This wasn't a problem as i had brought my washbag ( who wouldn't) I tried the TV which didn't work and could have/should have reported it but didn't need the TV so didn't. The bed was soft but not uncomfortable. Although the walls were not soundproofed this didn't concern me and there was no noise at all in the night to disturb. We had a peaceful nights sleep. In the evening we drove 20 minutes to a lovely family run italian restaurant near York - It was like being back in Italy. The breakfast in the morning was good. We had a slight wait but it was hot and nicely presented. It tasted good and we had a mixture of toasts. One other resident told us to not worry too much about whether they got the order right or not. In fact it was perfect. Overall this B&B had a lovely character and atmosphere. The owner is doing really well to run it with the help she has and if I needed to stay near/in York again I would certainly consider staying again.

“Good B&B”

Stayed one night in July to be close to York (20 mins drive to Park&Ride). Nice B&B in a centre of rural village location, but set in its own grounds. We had a large attic room, full of character, with good, modern shower/bathroom. Wifi, TV all worked well. Wanted an earlier, light breakfast which … Più

Stayed one night in July to be close to York (20 mins drive to Park&Ride). Nice B&B in a centre of rural village location, but set in its own grounds. We had a large attic room, full of character, with good, modern shower/bathroom. Wifi, TV all worked well. Wanted an earlier, light breakfast which they happily provided. One bonus is the easy, secure parking in this type of location (compared with a town B&B in York itself). We had meal in nearby pub, but a list is provided of other options to eat out in the area. Good stopover for York region. Beware! Mobile speed cameras v active in the area and throughout Yorks (we came across 4 in a week in Yorkshire).
