We have visited The Farthings many times and have recommended it to family who have since stayed. When we stay we feel like friends of the hosts. We love the rooms, breakfast, location and the fact every time we visit we are never disappointed. Traditional customer service which is most welcomed.

Thankyou for a wonderful weekend away. This place is a relaxed, cosy home from home, 5 minutes work from the main centre. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Breakfast choice was ample, many leaflets to choose from in reception to plan your day, we had a room with a shared bathroom which I was unsure of on booking but... More

We stayed for the weekend as we were visiting friends in York. You will find delightful hosts, a good breakfast and all you need for a short stay near the centre of York. When I realised I had left a set of keys at the guest house the owners offered to post them recorded delivery to me! Definitely a place... More

The Farthings is situated in a nice area or york within easy walking distance of old York. On arrival you are given a parking pass and can literally park immediately outside the premises. The place was spotlessly clean and the rooms were lovely. The lady owner was a really nice person who spent time with us on arrival to advise... More

We recently stayed for a weekend and were immediately impressed by the welcome we received. We were issued with a parking permit to leave our car in the quiet residential street and given Room 2 which was at the front of the house. The room was immaculately clean and the bed was nearly as comfy as our own. There was... More

Just to start with - this is not, despite 2 star rating, a NEGATIVE review. It is more to highlight that, in my opinion, the 60+ glowing, "could not be better" 4/5 star reviews are misleading. There are a few things that, had I known about them, would have made me choose another place to stay. They are not BAD... More

My friends and I stayed here for 3 nights and I must say this is really a very comfortable place. We had a double and single bed in the room. Though the double bed was kinda huge and walk space in the room was a little squeezy, it was still comfortable. The design of the room was very country style... More
