My son and I stayed at the Four Seasons for four nights in January. It was our first visit to York and our choice of accommodation couldn't have been better. Steve and Bernice are the perfect hosts. Attentive and kind, they went out of their way to make my teenage son feel at home. The breakfasts are splendid (porridge highly recommended).

Our room was large and comfortable, with lovely mauve fabrics, and a peaceful view across the street in front of the house (which is a solid and beautiful Victorian brick home). St Peter's Grove is a cul de sac so there was no traffic noise.

The old section of York is a pleasant 15 minute walk from the hotel through Bootham Bar and there is a Sainsbury's supermarket on the way. The railway station is slightly further but not more than 20-25 minutes walk or a five minute trip by taxi. It's very easy to find your way around and maps and information were available at the hotel. The tourist information office is near Bootham Bar.

York is fabulous. We visited - and loved - the Minster, the Castle Museum, and the National Railway Museum. An evening ghost tour was fun (though cold work in mid-January!). Shopping was excellent. Try Little Betty's in Stonegate for a traditional (though quite expensive) high tea. We hope to return before too long and will certainly stay with Steve and Bernice when we do.

This place used to be a schoolhouse, but was converted to a B&B in an idyllic setting, on a quiet street with trees and a very nice garden to boot.
Cleanliness:
The place was immaculate, with every care taken to meet the expectations of even the most picky traveler.
Amenities:
Steve and Bernice allowed us to use the largest room in the place since we had a toddler with us. The room was very large. The bathroom looked brand new, and had a brand new towel warmer. The shower looked new also. There is even a fridge they let us use in the hallway.
Hosts:
Steve and Bernice are incredibly nice and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we walked in the door.
Food:
The breakfast was wonderful, and they even offered to cook a breakfast for our toddler. You have the choice of a traditional english breakfast or a la carte selections (eggs, toast, sausage, etc) they also have a selection of cereals and yogurts and fresh fruit salad, as well as juices.

When we arrived in York, Steve and Bernice were welcoming us outside the hotel. We got the warmest and best service from the moment we arrived until we left two days later. When walking inside, it was like entering a mansion and the room was spacious and with a lovely interior. Outside is a small garden and the B&B is located in a quiet area, 10 mins walking from the old town of York.
In the morning we got a very good breakfast. If i should have a wish: I would have loved a breakfast time which lasted for one hour longer.... But I understand that this isn't too easy for a small B&B. "Four Seasons" can be recomended. It's quite another world than an unpersonal (and more expensive) bigger hotel. Everything about the B&B is lovely, but the best aspect is the hosts!

* Liked — The hosts and the beautiful interior.
