Cozy, clean and homey

This hotel felt more like a homey, cozy bed and breakfast with a friendly and service-minded married couple who catered to our every need, with a smile. They treat their guests like royalty and knew everyone by name.

A very pleasant, clean & comfortable place to stay just five minutes walk from the Minster & city centre. There is a homely feel to the place and the proprietors were both friendly & efficient. There was a good choice of breakfast items & the full English was superb. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent stay. Julie and Alan are the most amazing hosts & people you will meet. If you are looking for a 5* hotel with gym and saunas this place aint for you. If you are looking for a clean local guest house 5 min from Minster with hosts who will go above & beyond the this is everything you could ask for. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. We look forward to returning. Thank you
