Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness score lower, at 7/10 — While guests find rooms tidy, the rating suggests some aspects of room comfort or maintenance could be improved.
- Away from the city centre — Location scores 6/10 — the B&B is in Upper Poppleton, so you'll need transport or public links to reach York's attractions.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 19:00, which may be tight for late arrivals.
- Higher price for the class — Rates from £267 per night, which is steep for a B&B, even with breakfast and parking included.
