I really enjoyed my stay at Ashbourne House! The room was very comfortable and bright, with all the amenities I needed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is great too -- a lovely walk along the river away from the bustling city centre.

Excellent service from the owner who helped us in many respects. Good provision of complimentary items. The property is on a bus route direct into the city or it is possible to walk

A real gem

Beautiful property and room. The lady who checked us in and showed us to our room was very friendly and told us how to get into town which is about a 15-20 minute walk. Our room was very clean and furnished to a high standard
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic couple of nights here, check in was easy, parking either straight out front or on the street around the corner. Bus stop just outside with an easy trip into town so we could have a drink with dinner and not worry about driving. Can touch on to the bus with a credit card. Breakfast was freshly prepared to order by the hosts and was excellent quality! Would stay again.

Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

For a 1 night stay it's great. Good location and staff very friendly. Unfortunately the room was too small when you have 2 large suit cases and 2 carry on bags. No where to put bags. Also no air conditioning which made room hot.
Vasilios, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wouldn't hesitate to return!

Fiona and Ricardo were very friendly and welcoming - upon arrival Fiona was kind enough to talk us through the best ways to get into town (which is only a 20 minute picturesque walk away along the river, or 5 mins on the bus which is very regular) and always served breakfast with a smile! The room was very comfy, clean and airy. We immediately decided to extend our stay for another night because we could tell we were going to enjoy our stay, and thankfully the room was available! The house is very well located, with bus stops close by and free parking on the adjacent road if there's no space left on the drive - with a couple of pubs down the road, the plough in particular had the best homemade chips ever, and delicious homemade pies. Thank you Fiona and Ricardo, we will certainly be back again!

Last gasp reservation.

This was a real last minute booking, but what a winner. The guest house was wonderful. The room was very comfortable (didn't want get out of the bed). Such an individual look to each room. Made a nice change from the usual Travelodge/Premier Inn ordinariness. Did Didn't try the breakfast. Will rectify that next time. Very impressed. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Ashbourne Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome by Fiona. The house is absolutely beautiful and our room was so comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location in Fulford was perfect for exploring York, and we really appreciated all the helpful tips that Fiona gave us.

Lovely stay on the outskirts of York

Simple and straightforward. Lovely room, on the smaller side but adequate for one night. Modern amenities with standard bathroom. Lovely selection of hot drinks available. Ceiling fan which was very much needed on our stay. Very clean and very well presented. Happy to stay again. Parked on the street nearby and good 20 minute walk into centre.
