Friars Rest Guest House

Fantastic stay, best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time, very clean and quiet. A short walk into the centre, even to train station although could have got a bus easily.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Location was ideal to get into York or the station quickly. The rooms was the cleanest I've ever been in, and the cleaners would replish the milk, coffee and tea. Also emptied the bin and cleaned the toliet whilst you stayed. Would definitely stay again.

From booking to leaving, Steve was a great host, nothing was too much trouble. It is out of town, but free parking was a bonus. There is a bus stop nearby to get bus into centre,or, cross the road, down the lane then walk along the River to the town centre. Barbican is a short walk away. Tea,coffee supplied. No breakfast which suited us fine as you are not on a time schedule for breakfast. TV in room, shower and toilet en suite. Small space to hang clothing but adequate for 3 nights. It is on a busy road but it is so quiet when you are inside. Bed was comfortable and room was refreshed every day. Would definitely stay there again.

Pleasant stay ! Steven was great, he was very nice, available, very easy to communicate with and he answered all my requests. Great Location ! I have nothing to say except that I will return with great pleasure! Thank you again for everything !

We have been in this inn at the end of april. Steve has welcomed us very friendly and explained everything necessary. The rooms are a dream, really nice and beautiful from the detail. The location is also perfect. It is only 10 minutes to the city. The city of York is definitely worth seeing.The rooms were clean and comfortable. Once a day the room was also cleaned. Tea and a kettle and a hairdryer were also in the room. I highly recommend the inn!

Lovely bank holiday weekend break staying at the Friars Rest Guest House. Fantastic location with only a short walk to the city, very large room with ensuite, super clean with coffee & tea replenished daily plus parking available. Steve was a lovely host & we would highly recommend. We will book directly if ever we plan a weekend in York in the future ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really comfortable and pleasant stay and extremely good value. Steve was very helpful in accommodating us in ground floor rooms for an elderly guest. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and recently decorated. The front rooms face the main road, which was actually not a problem for us, as the double glazing kept most of the noise out, but light sleepers might want to ask for a room towards the rear. 4* might seem a little low, but we reserve 5* for those life-changing experiences. Definitely stay again.

In a great location just a ten minute walk into the city centre. Steve is a great host friendly without being intrusive. Our room was large with a great ensuite. Spotlessly clean with bins emptied each day. Having a dedicated parking space meant once we had arrived we didn't need to use the car again until we left. I would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back to stay again.
