Great place to stay close to the city but far enough out to be quiet. Staff were all fantastic and so friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Only concern although it’s not a huge issue the trains were a little noisy but didn’t really disturb me but if that’s an issue for you take ear plugs

Relaxing stay in York
It was a short walk from the train station and we were able to walk along the river and to the downtown. Breakfast was excellent and it was very quiet.

Convenient guest house in a quiet location. Walking distance from the train station and the centre of York. Comfortable room with everything you need, but the decor was looking a bit tired and could do with a bit of a spruce. The breakfast was perfect and setsnyou up for the day.

Everything is brilliant about St. Mary's!
Everything is brilliant about St. Mary's Guest House in York! Location is perfect - just 10 min stroll along the river front into the centre. Beds very comfy. Breakfast pentiful, cooked to order and delicious. Manager, Caroline, is wonderful. Parking inexpensive and easy. We would highly recommend this for a city break.

Very friendly and efficient hosts. Clean room with comfortable bed. Freshly cooked breakfast to order. Very handy for city centre, convenient, quiet location, option to walk along river. Very close to railway station on foot, and can use railway bridge during daylight hours.

100% Recommend
Triple room was great, plenty of room for the 3 of us and check in was really easy, I was sent all the information ahead of time and again on the day.
Breakfast was amazing and fresh and all the staff were really nice.
Ideal location, short walk from the station and town center, in a quiet area. You could hear the trains, but we never found it an issue.
