Our room was comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was tasty and it was obvious Tricia and Steve used good quality ingredients. Steve was very helpful before and during our stay and along with Tricia made us feel very welcome, as did Harvey the dog! We will hopefully be back soon.

what a super place to stay in York ! - as always a place is defined by the innkeepers and Steve and Tricia cannot be beat. REPEAT-cannot be beat. manageable walk to city walls- internet worked great and a super breakfast was provided daily. for we Americans, ask for the bacon to be cooked extra crisp. you will love it....

Firstly, the positive. You couldn't ask for two more helpful, friendly, or welcoming people when staying at a B&B. Steve, especially, went out of his way to make sure our brief visit to York was a happy one - recommending the best route to take to York so we could sightsee along the way, suggesting a fabulous place for dinner...

Just lovely. My room was smallish but very nice. I was treated so well and the hosts were very accomodating and caring going over and above their duty. Best breakfast in the UK so far!! Little things impressed a lot. Highly recommend it, but not for those on a lower budget.

Stayed the nights, excellently run accommodation, beds comfy, breakfast personalised and filling, welcome friendly. All needs were meet. Easy riding distance to York centre, easy to walk there also though it takes about 12/15 minutes. Our accommodation was booked by a cycle touring company, and we are very impressed with the choice. Our first experience with an English b &b... More

We had a first floor twin room at this B&B and it was lovely. The room was large enough to allow ample sitting space off the beds. The bath was large and well appointed. Breakfast here is a real treat, as are the innkeepers and their help. One of the impressive attributes was lots of outlets in our room, something... More

We stayed at The Bloomsbury for two nights, during a midweek break to York. On arrival we were greeted by Steve who was very friendly and informative. We were shown to our room and was bought a welcome coffee and biscuits whilst we settled in. The room (Wisteria) was light and airy, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The accommodation is...

We stayed for three nights at the Bloomsbury and were very happy with everything: the rooms were very clean, the hosts friendly and the breakfast superb. The only thing: It was a little bit far away from the centre, we needed about 13 minutes to get there, walking really fast. Apart from that, a very nice B&B, we would definitely... More
