We booked Ashbourne House on the back of all the reviews and it did not disappoint. Absolutely fantastic stay. Spotlessly clean, powerful shower, the most comfortable bed, all the little extra touches and Fiona and Ricardo were the best and most helpful hosts. There is a bus stop right opposite and just 10 minute journey into town. Highly recommend and would definitely use again if returning to York.

Very smart accomodation, rooms very well presented with great decor. Very comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Very friendly owners and a simple and effective check in and out. Nice location in Fulford, on the edge of York centre and plenty of good pubs and restaurants in short walking distance.

Great Stay
I only stayed for one night, however Ashbourne House is beautifully maintained and my room was exquisite for the price. I stay in London hotels a lot and I wish I could afford somewhere like this when I'm there because it would cost a fortune. Will definitely stay again.

We upgraded to the superior room as it had a fridge. Room has recently been renovated to an excellent standard. Ceiling fan was great as it was a hot weekend. Los of little nice touches you don't see at other places, walk into town is 20 mins direct on main rd or a leisurely 25/30 mins along river. Will definitely stay again

Wouldn't hesitate to return!
Fiona and Ricardo were very friendly and welcoming - upon arrival Fiona was kind enough to talk us through the best ways to get into town (which is only a 20 minute picturesque walk away along the river, or 5 mins on the bus which is very regular) and always served breakfast with a smile! The room was very comfy, clean and airy. We immediately decided to extend our stay for another night because we could tell we were going to enjoy our stay, and thankfully the room was available! The house is very well located, with bus stops close by and free parking on the adjacent road if there's no space left on the drive - with a couple of pubs down the road, the plough in particular had the best homemade chips ever, and delicious homemade pies. Thank you Fiona and Ricardo, we will certainly be back again!

First time I have been to York in 45years, loved it and the weather was amazing. The hotel we stayed in was lovely and the host was very friendly and helpful in how to walk to certain areas.
