Would definitely recommend and stay again. Plenty of parking, decent sized rooms with everything we needed. Restocked every day (tea, coffee, toiletries), which was very nice. Excellent breakfast, plenty of choice, freshly cooked to our timeslot. Hosts remembered what we asked for and we could change bits if we wanted. Room had everything we needed. Tea/coffee, water, hairdryer, fans, iron plus board, shower gel, shampoo, plenty of clean towels. Room was perfect size for us even had a dressing table for my partner to get ready at. Very good shower too Key for the room and fob for the front door so we could come and go as we pleased. 10-15 minute walk and you were in the middle of York so excellent location also. Only very minor criticism was the heating was not on when it was a cold evening (February), but would then come on in the middle of the night so we would wake up a bit too hot.

We had a wonderful stay with our eight month old and two Shih Tzu dogs. The owners were so accommodating and friendly, making every effort to ensure our stay was comfortable - even going out to buy full fat milk for our little one's breakfast and cooking a sausage for our dogs (greatly appreciated by them!). The cooked breakfast was excellent and of high quality. You can adapt to your requirements. We stayed in a family room, the empire room (number 2), which was very spacious. A cot bed was provided - we brought our own mattress with us as we usually find the travel cots mattresses aren't that great. Inside the room were plenty of drink options for hot drinks. Even had a mini fridge which was a nice touch and bottled water was provided each morning for free. Parking is plentiful at the back of the hotel. Location is excellent - about 15 mins walk to the centre. Will definitely stay here again if we return to York.

Absolutely lovely guest house with lovely staff. Breakfast is amazing and fresh and everything was accommodated for. Mini fridge, hot chocolate, and chocolate was a nice touch in the rooms. Only slight improvement could be made on the rooms is they need a bit of TLC in places (just a lick of paint where it has scuffed) and a good clean of the kettles because it put me off using them to make a hot drink. But other than that, it was a perfect stay, thank you!

What a lovely little guest house within walking distance to York city centre. Danielle was a lovely host who made sure everything was in order for us. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and the fact that parking is included makes this place good value for money. The only thing worth noting is that the loft room is up 3 sets of stairs (the last one being a little steep) so bear that in mind if you have luggage or if you plan on doing the climb up the York Cathedral Tower tour (like we did!) Would definitely recommend.

Cute little B&B located just a few mins from the train station and about 15 min walk into the city centre. The room we were in was at the very top. Note, lots of stairs and to get to room 12 is a small awkward staircase but all good for us. Room was simple, though lacking headroom in places, had everything needed including AC, washer, sink, cooktop and fridge. Would stay again!

Although it was a double room, there was barely enough room for one person. Only one chair meant that someone had to sit on the bed, the room was cold (the heating was on a timer that seemed to be on while we were out and off when we returned freezing after a nighttime ghost walk). The “en-suite” was a tiny bathroom in a cupboard under the stairs. There was a bath with over-bath shower, which was quite dangerous as it had a sloping ceiling which made it hard to stand straight in and a glass door that didn’t open fully as it would have smashed against the sink. Add to this a lack of any sort of grab rail in the bath and the whole set up became quite dangerous. They would have done better to put in a shower cubicle. Would not recommend.

Danielle was a great host from arrival to departure. We stayed five nights and we're well looked after throughout. Our loft room had a low ceiling in places, but excellent views of the railway station and a fridge, microwave and washer drier - more like a well equipped studio. Whilst others have complained about the noise if the trains with the window open - we slept with the dormer window open, and loved the sounds of the trains passing. Breakfast was chosen the day before, and a real treat. We would definitely stay again if in York, though possibly on a lower floor because the stairs to the attic are a little steep - but worth it for staying longer and using the fridge and cooking facilities.

First thing, the most charming owner of the guest house greets you upon arrival and gives you the biggest of smiles. We were show to our room with a very comfortable bed and a nice shower. And even though the weather was hot, ac and a fan were really good to cool us down. Location is just 5min walk out of the city centre but it’s well connected to buses and the train station. Breakfast was the best I’ve ever tried. Classic full English with homemade eggs and what it feels as local grown food. On an all. A classic English experience

Absolutely fabulous! Daniele is an excellent host! Very friendly and helpful. She paid attention to the little details (where I liked to sit at breakfast) and to the important ones (my breakfast was not only really good, it was also gluten free!). The room, we were in Fuji, was bright and airy. It was at the back of the house, over looking the car park. It was comfortable and very clean. We had a double bed with duvet, there was a wardrobe and a set of drawers, a kettle well stocked with tea/coffee/hot chocolate and snacks. The bathroom was not amazing, but it was spotless with little shampoo and shower gel bottles provided (and replaced during our stay!). The Apple House is 5 minutes walk to Michaelgate and about 15 minutes walk to the Shambles/Minster area. There are quite a few restaurants around, although we always ended up at the pub around the corner! The Apple House is a lovely B&B, we were treated like special guests, and really enjoyed our time in York. I highly recommend this place, and hope to be back soon, with friends!

This was our first stay at The Apple House but been to York before. The Apple House seems to be this family's labour of love. It has a very homely feel and we were welcomed so friendly and informative. We were unfortunate to have selected the loft in a heatwave, however we had an air cooling unit, fan and velux window so we coped just fine. It was like a little self contained apartment. Ideal for our stay. The only negatives if you want to be extremely picky, were that the carpet had a small tear, not dangerous. The bathroom wall had a small gap in line with the rafters, you couldnt see through unless you put your face up to it but you could hear. I think although a provision was in place the shower tray may need replacing at some point. The last flight of stairs had small treads, fine for us but with big bags or mobility issues it wouldnt be so good. None of this affected our stay. The location was great, about 10 minutes walk to the station and York Gate to be able to walk the wall. It took no more than 20 minutes walk to the city centre. We had a very well cooked full English breakfast tailored to exactly what we wanted plus yogurts, cereals, fruit, honestly the spread of food was amazing, welcoming and made you feel at home. I would definitely visit again.
