All good however the sewing kit noted was missing from the cupboard and there should be a small fridge in my opinion for the Ebor suite. The breakfast was delicious and swift.

Lovely welcome when I got to the guest house. The lady helped to ensure I parked in the correct place and as my room was not ready, I was early, took my bags and placed them in my room. Breakfast was very nice good quality products well cooked. Ideal location for me

The property was in a quiet location & only 10 minute walk to the old city walls & shopping areas. Car parking isnt on site but there is allocated on-road parking nearby. Breakfast was nice but you have to choose your breakfast selection the evening before. Probably best to book a first floor bedroom rather than second as our room was small & sounded like it was close to a heating boiler or something running all night. The room was clean but had a sliding bathroom door for space which didnt shut properly & only 1 spare socket not near any mirror or table.
