We had a wonderful time staying at the Ashbourne Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome by Fiona. The house is absolutely beautiful and our room was so comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location in Fulford was perfect for exploring York, and we really appreciated all the helpful tips that Fiona gave us.

I really enjoyed my stay at Ashbourne House! The room was very comfortable and bright, with all the amenities I needed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is great too -- a lovely walk along the river away from the bustling city centre.

Last gasp reservation.

This was a real last minute booking, but what a winner. The guest house was wonderful. The room was very comfortable (didn't want get out of the bed). Such an individual look to each room. Made a nice change from the usual Travelodge/Premier Inn ordinariness. Did Didn't try the breakfast. Will rectify that next time. Very impressed. Highly recommend.

A real gem

Beautiful property and room. The lady who checked us in and showed us to our room was very friendly and told us how to get into town which is about a 15-20 minute walk. Our room was very clean and furnished to a high standard
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic couple of nights here, check in was easy, parking either straight out front or on the street around the corner. Bus stop just outside with an easy trip into town so we could have a drink with dinner and not worry about driving. Can touch on to the bus with a credit card. Breakfast was freshly prepared to order by the hosts and was excellent quality! Would stay again.

Lovely stay on the outskirts of York

Simple and straightforward. Lovely room, on the smaller side but adequate for one night. Modern amenities with standard bathroom. Lovely selection of hot drinks available. Ceiling fan which was very much needed on our stay. Very clean and very well presented. Happy to stay again. Parked on the street nearby and good 20 minute walk into centre.

Very smart accomodation, rooms very well presented with great decor. Very comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Very friendly owners and a simple and effective check in and out. Nice location in Fulford, on the edge of York centre and plenty of good pubs and restaurants in short walking distance.

Fantastic b&b in a quiet location in Fulford. Perfect for a York break with easy access to town and also the designer outlet. Lovely room with nice facilities. Highly recommended.

Great Stay

I only stayed for one night, however Ashbourne House is beautifully maintained and my room was exquisite for the price. I stay in London hotels a lot and I wish I could afford somewhere like this when I'm there because it would cost a fortune. Will definitely stay again.
