Located conveniently on the main York-Edinburgh road, north
of the York city centre. This B&B offers a relaxing environment after visiting
the many attractions of York. Just a short drive or walk from Bootham Bar
and the City Walls, with the bonus of easy access to the North Yorkshire Moors
and Dales.
Originally constructed in the 1930’s, this house is now a large detached
home, situated mid-way between the A1237 ring-road north of York and the city
centre (one mile from the city walls).
Stopping about 250 yards
from B&B entrance, buses run every 10 - 15 minutes into the town centre
(0800-2000 hrs but reduced hours on Sundays). These same buses pick-up and drop-off at a stop about 300 yards from York Railway Station (a little over two miles away), so its very convenient for those arriving in York by train. You can also leave your
car in their car park.

and made it a major centre - you can still visit the Roman Baths in a city centre
pub today ! The Roman Emperor - Constantine the Great was enthroned in York
Minster in 326 AD and York has remained the major capital city of the North
of England ever since.
With the decline of the Romans - York was taken by the Vikings, and the remains
of the Viking Street can again be seen even now. The current Minster dates from
627 AD and took some 250 years to build, the largest of its type in Europe,
it attracts visitors from far and wide.
Later Kings and Queens used York as their capital in the North, before modern
communications, and York was an important stronghold for them all - laid siege
to during the Civil War, the City Walls have seen much blood spilt.
The City is now far more peaceful, but with the wide range of historic and modern
attractions available - remains the capital city of the North.
Other attractions include :
The National Railway Museum, The Yorkshire Museum, The Castle Museum
Fairfax House, Cliffords Tower......... and many more.......
