We love Bowman's!! We stayed 2 nights on a mini-trip to York & don't have a bad word to say about this guesthouse. The table in the hallway is full of 'Thank You' cards & it's obvious why. The location is perfect - parking is easy with a permit, then it's 10 minutes stroll to the city. There's plenty of... More

Stayed at Bowmans for a couple of months for work. A warm welcoming place that was always clean and tidy. Nice quiet location only 5-10mins stroll into town, after a lovely breakfast that had several basic options. Would definitely stay again whether it be for work or pleasure.

We enjoyed this B&B so much that as a result ended up extending our visit. Everything is absolutely perfect - super clean in every respect, perfect location (very, very easy 10 minute walk to the minster), wonderful breakfast with vegetarians well catered for, rooms made up and towels changed daily and special touches such as chocolates in the room daily....

We had two rooms for four nights and were very pleased with everything. The location was terrific, (5-10 minutes) to the city centre, an easy walk (15 minutes) to the train station and the room was comfortable and clean. The sleep quality was terrific, comfortable bed on a very quiet street. Delicious breakfast was excellent way to start the day.... More

Love this place to stay, this is the fifth time we have stayed in this B&B. Debs and Dave are wonderful hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them. The accommodation is spotless and the breakfasts are to die for. Well worth staying there if you fancy a few days away from it all. It is also very central -... More

A fabulous little bed and breakfast where nothing you ask for is too much trouble for the hosts Debra and Dave. Lovely rooms, spotlessly clean and a fantastic cooked breakfast make this period property an excellent place to stay.
