This was a delightful place to stay in York. Within walking distance of all central York (maybe a quarter mile to the Minster) and fronting the river. Nice and quiet,with all we were looking for - comfortable rooms, clean, great breakfast, free and safe parking. We had a hard time finding a place for 5 people to stay in York... more

Long time since I have been in York so decided to treate my Aunty to 70th Birthday present and take both her and my wife there for the weekend. So glad we chose to go to York and even better was the Abbey. Brilliant location only a couple of minutes walk in to centre, free parking, close to train station.... more

Feel free to contact me regarding our stay here. We had trouble finding the place using the instructions on the web site. When we did get there... more

We have stayed at Abbey Guest House about six times over the past two years which speaks for itself really. We have stayed at all different times of the year and in all the different rooms. Gill and Alec are perfect hosts and we have come to regard them as friends now. On arrival our rooms have always been clean,... more

Great location to explore all York has to offer, wonderful accommodation, Great breakfast, Beautiful rooms, and hosts that went all out to make our stay so great. Parking available on request (extra charge) but very handy, then easy walk everywhere. more

The location is good, but very close to railway lines, however the view of the river makes up for that. I read all the reviews before we booked and thought it would be lovely.... it was clean and fresh and the breakfast was great. And its nice to have somewhere to park. We went to the museum and Bettys the... more
