As a family who visit York regularly my biggest disappointment is we did not discover Bowen House sooner!! On arrival we were greeted by Diane. We were booked into rooms 4 and 5,4 being the larger of the two but both were spotless. Both en suites were of good proportion and also spotless. Breakfast at Bowen House is something else,... More

Over the weekend, my partner and I got married in York and we stayed at Bowen House, along with friends. Diane and Peter made my partner feel extremely welcomed - assisted where they could and made her wedding preparations go to plan. They really couldn't have done more to help, especially when my car broke down and they took control... More

We took advantage of the 3 nights for the price of 2 offer and were not disappointed. We stayed in room 3 which I would highly recommend. We had plenty of space and a nice en suite bathroom which has shower, sink and toilet. The bathroom is entered by going down 2 or 3 stairs in the room but not... More

We stayed at the Bowen House for a weekend (15-17th March) and really found it to be a lovely b&b, probably one of the cleanest b&b's we've ever stayed in. We rented two rooms, room1 which is the twin room and yes I would agree with other members that this room is not suitable for two adults as it is... More

We felt that Diane couldn't do enough for us. She even booked me a hair appointment ready for my big birthday dinner. We stayed in room 3. We found... More

I have just returned from my third annual trip to York and my third stay at Bowen House. I would not want to stay anywhere else and the reason for this is simple. Everything about Bowen House and the service makes my stay there special and memorable. The location is perfect for wandering into York . The facilities in the... More

The breakfast was great here and I can't comment on any other rooms but the twin is not the place for two people to stay. There was very little room for two beds (it should really be a single) in which two people couldn't get ready at the same time. Unfortunately there was a dirty cotton bud in the shower... More

We are very disappointed with this review when it does not reflect the normal standard of service guests enjoy when staying at Bowen House. These guests were dissapointed and clearly did not enjoy staying in our twin room. Our twin room is adequate for two adults and the description and images displayed on our web site are accurate. The room... More
