What really made this hotel excel was the delightful and helpful staff. We even met the owner who was a really hands on person when it came to helping guests. The location is amazing- right by the Minster. Beautiful gardens.

Exquisite in every way. Staff were so friendly and accommodating- exactly what you are looking for in a boutique hotel. The decor was brilliant and the garden ambiance was amazing! Rooms were hot but comfortable in every other way.

Stunning historical hotel in the heart of York. Like living in another time. Everything about this place is amazing. We could easily have spent our entire York stay in the hotel but there is so much to see and do in York. I really hope that we can return to this hotel one day.

Just simply lovely! Attention to detail, nothing is too much trouble. Attentive, efficient, friendly staff. Excellent location for Minster and the city centre. Betty’s is a must for afternoon tea!

Amazing hotel with old charm & delicious breakfast

Gray's Court is very central in York - you will be in walking distance to everything. The hotel is in an old historic building and it has a lot of charm. Despite being an old building the rooms are up to date and give you everything you need. The breakfast is fantastic - you are served at your table and the taste of what you get is just delicious. Reception is always happy to talk to you, they are polite and give you very good feeling.

A gem in the heart of York!

This property is a gem right in the heart of York, a stone's throw from the Minster. It has history (walls from a thousand years ago, royal visits), period decorations and amazing character. The long gallery is a great place to sit and chat. In fact we had my daughter and her partner over for drinks one night just to enjoy that wonderful space. The rooms were very comfortable and the food was great and filling each morning. You had a number of flavourful choices each day and not your basic bacon and eggs either (although they have that too). Most importantly, the staff are all highly attentive and care about the property, its history and providing the greatest care possible. This is an easy 5 star review and I hope to be back soon.
Steven D, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Tranquil convenient city centre location, just inside city walls. A comfortable and beautiful listed heritage building with emclosed relaxing gardens to view or explore. Attentive staff providing friendly and excellent service throughout with unexpected personal touches. Well-stocked bar and delicious freshly prepared foods, served in the impressive long gallery or dining room, both with great views. Clean, warm and very comfortable rooms with opening sash windows, period furnishings and decor, also well-serviced and with good facilities. Quiet at night despite being only moments away from York Minster, shops and restaurants. Pre-bookable on-site parking (at extra charge) a great option. Would not hesitate to recommend or return.

Grays Court was wonderful! The building is charming and comfortable, the breakfast is delightful, the staff is welcoming and helpful. Great location to walk from to see York. Overall, an exceptional experience.
Dana, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything about this property is perfect. Grays Court is the most wonderful hotel we have ever experienced. Nestled behind York Minster, this historic property has all the charm of York, with a staff that is by far the most welcoming and friendly. The rooms are updated while still maintaining that historical feel. We were lucky enough to be able to book “The Mortimer” room, and it was exceptional. It offered some great views of the minster, and was spacious and very charming. The breakfast was very well done, and had a great variety to choose from. Taking a walk around the gardens is a must. They are so beautiful, and well maintained, and are enclosed by the property and the historic York City Walls. Also, this hotel manages to attract lovely, friendly guest, some of which we had the pleasure of conversing with in the beautiful bar area/galley. We also got to know the owner and their family, as well as the staff, and they are the most charming people. The hotel is within the perfect distance to the shambles, and York Minster. Please make this a stay of your if you plan to come to York. It will give you an experience you won’t forget. We will be returning to this property for years to come.

10/10 Exceptional

Gray’s Court is absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, warm, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in every detail. The atmosphere is something special, elegant without being stuffy, and steeped in history while still feeling comfortable and inviting. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Location-wise, it’s perfect. Tucked right next to York Minster, you’re within walking distance of everything. Whether it’s a stroll along the city walls, a bite at a local pub, or exploring the Shambles, it’s all just steps away. Highly recommend Gray’s Court, it’s the kind of stay that makes a trip memorable.

Wonderful personal staff and attention to detail!

We had a lovely stay! Susanna made sure that we were well taken care of. All the staff has such pride in the grounds and history. The location is close to everything. Very nice breakfasts and even a bag with water and a snack for our travels when we checked out!

An amazing place. My favorite is the garden where you can have a lovely lunch with bubbles, which is what we did. The room was incredible and the staff is just wonderful. Every time I go to York, that’s where I will stay.

Fairfax Room

This hotel had so much charm, with its unique and quaint rooms. The outdoor garden is absolutely beautiful and you can even get up onto the old wall from the back of the property. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. It was a little stuffy in our room when we got there, but that was nothing an open window and fan couldn't fix. I would 100% stay here if I were ever to visit York again.
