Only had an overnight stay at St Marys, great location close to the city centre, very welcoming host. The room was very clean, breakfast was excellent I would recommend this to anyone visiting York. Barry is an excellent host and nothing is too much trouble. The site only allows for two nights at the weekend but we rang the week... More

This was our second stay in 6 months at St Mary's and I'm sure it won't be another 6 months before we stay again. This B & B has it all its a true gem. We travelled this time with my mother and whilst she stayed in the lovely single room on the ground floor which has a bed big... More

We were referred to St Mary's by another B & B host who had no room. We are very happy that happened. What a great place! Barry greeted us warmly when we arrived and opened a private parking spot for us. The guest house is more like a tiny hotel, with the narrow stairs and smaller rooms expected in many... More

We found the B&B very easily, wondered if parking would be a problem, but the owner was looking out for us and moved his car so that we could have his space. We got a really warm welcome, had a chioce of breakfast times for 8.15 or 9.15 which was a nice touch. Our room was a kingsize right at... More

My husband and I have just returned from 2 nights at St Mary's. We were expected and welcomed warmly by Barry. Room was clean, tidy and adequate for 2 nights. Breakfast was splendid - lots of choice. 5 types of cereal, fresh fruit salad, flavoured and plain yoghurt and a choice of cooked food from the menu. A relaxed atmosphere... More

We arrived in the evening off the train from King's Cross, wheeling our luggage along the pretty moonlit avenue bordering an embankment and rail link into Scarborough. This perfect little Victorian house amongst other perfectly preserved little houses had a timewarp feel. The houses are architecturally sublime with beautiful Victorian elevations still intact. Walking into York from the house, which... More

Myself, Hubby and 17th year old daughter have just spent a perfect half term break at St Mary's Guest House. Barry, Caroline and Julie go out of their way to ensure you have a perfect stay and all 3 could show the bigger hotel chains how to treat their customers. We stayed in 2 rooms on the ground floor which... More
