My partner and I stayed here just before Christmas and really enjoyed our visit. We were looking for a hotel near to the city centre that wasn't too pricey and chose Amber House because of the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. Everything we read was absolutely true; this is a superb little find which is about 10 minutes walk from... More

We'd not stayed in a B and B before because the concept of staying in a stanger's home was alien to us. But we thought we'd give it a go and we are so pleased that we stayed here!! Linda and John and Mary were so friendly and accomodating whilst also discreet. It never occured to me that in a... More

A 2 day stay, couldn't fault the breakfast, good central location with free permit parking, wi-fi, spoilt by loud TV from dining room below ours. Could have done without the sudden cold shower on day 2. More

We are very saddened and upset to read that their stay was spoilt by the TV being loud and the shower running cold - however, we are genuinely surprised that they told us everything had been OK when they checked out. We have sent the following email of apology to the guests. "We were so saddened to read that your... More

We loved our stay at Amber House, it's a great B&B - it had a relaxed atmosphere and our room (Oriental Room) was very comfortable, clean & well decorated. Decked out with oriental furniture, a lovely, clean en suite and special little extras. Breakfast was fantastic, and there was a good variety of options on the menu. It takes under... More

The bed was amazingly comfortable. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless, refreshments re-stocked, and room tidied, towels cleaned daily. Breakfast was really nice, and the lady serving (sorry cant remember... More

I stayed at Amber House for the second time for two nights in early December 2011. This time I was sharing with my sister and we had a large double room with a second single room connected - perfect for us. Once again the room was spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable and tastefully furnished and breakfast was delicious. Can't be faulted... More

We stayed at this four star guest house for two nights which cost £160. It turned out to be a small place with just three rooms to stay in. Located on Bootham Crescent, a side street just ten minutes walk from York Art Gallery and York Minster. On arrival we received a warm welcome from the owner, she ran through... More

Beautiful large room (oriental room) with comfortable bed. John and Linda weren't there, but Mary was a wonderful host. B&B on a quiet residential street just a short walk away from the Minster and City Centre. Was in the middle of winter when we went, but room was very warm. Clean and tidy. Tasty breakfast too. Free car parking as... More
