This was our second visit to The Groves and this time we stayed in York House, an annex across the car park from the main building, in a larger double room. As before, the room was immaculately clean, and this time it was furnished with a beautiful bathroom with separate shower and bath. As before, the staff are incredibly welcoming... More

Welcoming guest house, about 10 mns walk from the centre of York. Staff was very friendly. My husband had a very good bacon sandwich for breakfast! Rooms were clean.
