[shipton, 12.07.2008] Booked for 3 nights - stayed 1 night. Room was very tired and dated, bed far too small, (one had to climb over the other to get in and out). TV ariel not connected resulting in very poor reception. One chair for two people. En-suite, dirty and smelly. Shower head disgusting and extractor fan com [more]

[SimonCurry1, 30.06.2008] Spent 3 nights here on a midweek break in June. The building is a beautiful Georgian period property still holding many of its origional features. Decoration in our room was modern but it fitted in lovely with the property itself. Flat screen tv with freeview, power shower, hairdryer, complimentary [more]

[TheAuctioneer, 08.06.2008] A good B&B needs to give 2 basic things a comfortable bed and a great breakfast and Carlton House delivers on both fronts. Clean, fresh modern rooms, great staff, wholesome breakfast and within 15 mins stroll of city. Private car park, power showers, flat screens with Freeview and WIFI, what more [more]

[KentPainter, 28.04.2008] I helped to organise the trip. Someone else had found the hotel and liked it very much. On arrival we were met by Caroline who smoothly took us into the lounge for a cup of tea while I gave her the numbers of singles, doubles and twin bedrooms. This was quickly done and everyone was pleased with [more]

[micksheff, 27.04.2008] One of the largest cathedrals in Europe this is York's most famous landmark. [more]

[micksheff, 20.04.2008] Well worth a visit. This 12th century church is tucked away off one of York's busiest streets. [more]

[lemongraphics, 16.04.2008] Medieval buildings, interesting shops, feel how it was to live in medieval times... if you are in York, don't miss it. Nearby open air market and other attractions. [more]

[micksheff, 12.04.2008] I love to stumble upon places by chance and the Shrine of The Saint Margaret Clitherow is an example of one such place that I recently discovered. It is located within a small medieval house in The Shambles area of York, which is the oldest part of the town where many of the buildings are black and [more]

[micksheff, 09.04.2008] The National Railway Museum in York first opened its doors to the public in 1975 and although I was too young to remember, around five or six years old at the time, I think that I was quite possibly one of the first visitors to see this attraction. I do vaguely recall visiting here all of those year [more]

[micksheff, 06.04.2008] Clifford's Tower stands on the top of a green, grassy mound of earth right in the heart of York's town centre. It has the appearance of a miniature castle, but it is actually all that now remains of the former keep of the castle that once stood on the level ground below here. This site at ground lev [more]

[james1982, 31.01.2008] This is a great hotel that I will certainly be visiting again. It is, however, rather pricey, so I'd suggest that it is most appropriate for special occasions. To see more photos of what the interiors of luxurious rooms look like, try visiting the hotel's website: http://www.marmadukeshotel s.co.uk [more]

[jessieleo, 28.10.2007] When I was young we would regularly have school trips to York. Living in Hull it was within easy reach and it had many educational attractions. The Minster, York's Museums and the heritage in general were all great. The day trip always incorporated a cruise along the River Ouse. As an adult day t [more]

[beckie, 24.04.2007] What is it? In the late 1970s well preserved remains of Jorvik, the Viking name for York, were uncovered. Over the top of the land where the excavations took place a centre was built to allow visitors to see Viking life for themselves. Due to soil conditions many artefacts have been preserved sin [more]

[sharkel, 06.04.2007] My partner and I stayed in this hotel for two nights very recently. We had originally booked into the York Ibis but I decided to book this hotel as a surprise for him and cancel the Ibis and I'm glad I did. I researched quite a few hotels in York but this one seemed to have the grandeur, faciliti [more]

[tange, 04.12.2006] Over the weekend of 22nd to 24th September we spent an excellent weekend in York. We travelled up on the Friday morning, arriving just before lunchtime, and got the Sunday afternoon train back home. This gave us two evenings, one full day and a morning and an afternoon to enjoy this excellent city! [more]

[jdeacon_162, 28.11.2006] Situated alongside the picturesque River Ouse, the Queens Hotel, York is in a key position within central York. All local amenities are yards away, and the city centre is only across a footbridge! York railway station is located approximately 0.5 miles away, so this is perfect for a break withou [more]

[carolburns, 03.08.2005] I lived in York for many years and always remember visiting York Minster when I was allowed into the town centre to spend my pocket money. I would spend many hours walking around taking in all the details I could. There are so many sights to see that I couldn't possibly give every detail in this rev [more]
