I was very impressed with York House. The property was a lovely getaway with all of the amenities you would expect from an up-market English bed-and-breakfast. The gardens were lovely, and the room bright, clean and fresh. The hosts were very friendly. The accommodation is situated a five minute walk from the village of Hay-on-Wye. more

I think the answer is "Yes", judging by my stay with Jim and Margaret Wesley in their beautiful late Victorian villa. I've travelled around the world a fair bit in the past fifty years or so, but I've never been given such a friendly welcome in such a comfortable house. Situated just outside Hay - a five minute walk to... more

I cannot say enough good things about York House and Jim and Margaret Wesley. They were our second B&B experience in the UK. The first experience was so bad that we were wondering if we should drop B&Bs altogether but our faith was restored by York House. We stayed in the Tretower room which has a lovely bay window with... more

Can't decide what's better the hosts or the house. Jim and Margaret have a splendid guest house a few minutes walk from the centre of Hay on Wye. We went down for a long weekend totally stressed out and managed to come back refreshed and relaxed. We've stayed a few times so far this year, it's now our first choice... more

York House is one of our top three Bed and Breakfasts. The house itself is gorgeous, very tastefully decorated but homey at the same time. Our bedroom was spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was excellent (the best we had on our three week trip, with alternatives to the inevitable full English) and it was served in a beautiful dining... more

We had a very nice visit at York House. First Hay-on-Wye is a wonderful town. It is noted for its concentration of used book stores. Indeed there are many inviting bookshops, some small some large. Some specializing, travel books for example. We were impressed by the number of shops specializing in antique prints and maps. So we recommend Hay for... more

This B&B spoiled us for all other accommodations on our trip. Margaret and Jim welcomed two damp and weary travelers with unsurpassed hospitality. All the rooms at the B&B are names after Welsh castles, and we had the pleasure of staying in the Tretower room. It was roomy and elegant with an unbeatable view of the garden. When I travel... more

Just returned from our stay at York House and for the first time ever decided to write a review on the accommodation. It was first class, a lovely house and gardens, great location only 5 minutes walk from the town of Hay-on-Wye, a smashing breakfast and very friendly owners Margaret and Jim. Would love to visit again in hopefully better... more
