Welcome to the Dairy guesthouse, a luxurious b&b in a prime residential area of York, close to the racecourse city walls and steeped in history which oozes from every brick. Lovingly restored, and offering a warm, comfortable and memorable welcome to all visitors.

The dairy is situated just 300 yards from the city walls, and offers quality accommodation and a chance to savour a piece of York history. Built as a family home in 1890, the building became a dairy, selling everything from milk to ice cream, until its conversion in 1978.

The conversion retained many period features which can still be seen, including the fabulous ceiling roses and cornices, stained and etched glass windows and cast iron fire grates. The dairy is built round a beautiful flower-filled courtyard which many of the cottage-style rooms look onto.

Each of the bedrooms is individually designed, but with a high level of features, including charming en suite bathrooms, colour TV, CD player and tea and coffee facilities, as well as high quality toiletries. We offer one family room with 1 double and 2 single beds, and also a room with a king size four poster, for the ultimate in romance!

We look forward to welcoming you to our first class accommodation in York, North Yorkshire.

Guests Name: Andy  was travelling as Other

Good stuff: The room was clean and had a big window. The breakfast was good.

Bad stuff: The bed and pillows were horribly uncomfortable. The entire property was small and clostraphobic. Not much service to speak of.

Overall: I would have liked to know that I would be lugging my luggage up 2 flights of stairs that the whole property consisted of 4 bedrooms and a dinning room. There was no lounge to relax in. The room had a 4 poster bed that dominated the entire room and a tiny tv sat at the end on a dresser but the poster ran down the middle of it and made it almost impossible to watch tv in any kind of posiiton from the bed.

Guests Name: Michael  was travelling as Mature couple

Good stuff: Quiet, comfortable, convenient to centre of York, free parking, great breakfasts, plenty of relevant visitor information from owner.

Bad stuff: Nothing!

Overall: Although situated near a busy road junction, our room was located in the pretty courtyard towards the rear of the site and was very quiet. Standard facilities (hair dryer, tea making, TV, radio and CD player) were all provided and functioning. Bathroom was large and excellent. Central heating was controllable by guests. No smoking policy was strict! As a smoker, the courtyard proved a godsend, especially as it's partly covered and rain-drop free. The adjacent on-street parking arrangements were conveniently reserved for guests and therefore always available. Several good restaurants very close and nowhere more than 20 minutes walk away. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Guests Name: Anonymous  was travelling as Mature couple

Good stuff: Walking distance from central York, tips on local sightseeing, delicious breakfasts.

Bad stuff: Room small, cramped. No space to unpack. No table or shelves to place our belongings.

Overall: The location was convenient and the breakfast was delicious. The local sightseeing tips from the proprietors was much appreciated. However: the room was very small and cramped and lacked any space for unpacking. There was not any shelf, table or flat surface on which to put our things. The only table was cluttered with coffee-preparation items. Getting in and out of the place was cumbersome -- too many doors and steps to unlock and negotiate. Far too expensive... more expensive than a London hotel room that had much more space and included breakfast.
