We had a lovely stay. The breakfast was first class, as were the staff. I have two comments about our room (8) - the pillows were a bit lumpy and if we had occasion to stay again, I’d request not to stay in this room because of the two steep steps down into the bathroom. Younger folk may have no problem with them but being that much older and having creaky knees, it wasn’t easy to negotiate them. Thankfully there was a very sturdy rail to hold onto. But I’d still request a different room. All that being said - we still enjoyed our stay.

Very friendly and efficient hosts. Clean room with comfortable bed. Freshly cooked breakfast to order. Very handy for city centre, convenient, quiet location, option to walk along river. Very close to railway station on foot, and can use railway bridge during daylight hours.

100% Recommend

Triple room was great, plenty of room for the 3 of us and check in was really easy, I was sent all the information ahead of time and again on the day. Breakfast was amazing and fresh and all the staff were really nice. Ideal location, short walk from the station and town center, in a quiet area. You could hear the trains, but we never found it an issue.

Great place to stay just outside York’s city gates

Rooms were very clean and adequate. Rooms warm during a cold January stay. Cooked breakfast was great. Hostess Caroline was a delight. Flat 10 minute walk to city gate (see photo). So no need to park closer unless you have a walking disability. Very desirable location. The only thing that would have made it better was to let customers know in advance that parking is £12.50 @ night. No nearby free parking in sight. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Nice guesthouse with good staff

We have been york so many times over the years that it's very familiar with us. The staff at this hotel gave us some other insight into things we didn't know which was very nice. The guesthouse is comfortable and in a great location. Easy walking distance from the city, parking is right outside the hotel although it's on the street. Breakfast supplied is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and quite spacious with everything you need for a short break.

The staff were very welcoming , the guest house was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good with a gluten free option,including the sausages and the bread. We were able to leave our cases in reception after we checked out in the morning, until we wanted to travel in the afternoon. Would stay there again if we return to the area

Autumn break in York.

Enjoyed our stay in St Mary`s Guest House. We were in Room 10 in the attic ,the final staircase was steep and narrow , I had a stroke 3 yrs ago and my mobility is not too great. I should have asked for a ground or first floor room in hindsight that was my error not yours. Best wishes Adam and Frances Johnston.

Friendly and helpful staff. We had a small problem with heat during the Oct 1st hearing cutover (off during the summer into fall temperatures). Good communication of the problem down to staff and resolution. Close to the river. Short walk to Minster and downtown. No elevator is you need one. Very enjoyable place. Nice breakfast.

We loved our stay at St Mary's Guest House. The house was so charming and the staff so delightful! The breakfast in the morning was plentiful and very yummy!! We appreciated that the property was so convenient to the train station and walking into town. We were able to walk everywhere. We would definitely stay there again.

We only stayed for 2 days over the Bank Holiday but it was a perfect break away. The ladies who served breakfast,which was amazin, full English was the husbands choice and he is quite picky but loved it, I opted for yogurt and fruit and eggs with toast,all perfectly done. Rooms are very clean and comfortable and cleaned daily without asking and the staff are so welcoming and no issue is a bother for them.will definitely be returning and a very reasonable price for York on a Bank Holiday weekend. We were so pleased with our stay we gave the ladies chocolates as a thank you when we left 💕 xxx
