A lovely Victorian property that we are continually restoring, we offer comfortable beds, en suite facilities and pretty rooms. As an old house the rooms are not huge but are very comfortable offering all that you would need for your stay. We offer a very varied menu from which to choose a different breakfast every day if you wish, don't forget to try our yummy whisky porridge to start your day! We can cater for all your food requirements, just let us know. Should you wish for wine, champagne, flowers or anything arranging for your stay, again, you just need to let us know!
Living on the premises I really enjoy the opportunity to have wonderful conversations with people from all over the world. I embrace living in York and it's fabulous history, I am always delighted to pass on little secrets of the City, places to visit, great little restaurants and things to look out for.
'Bishy Road' has won national high awards over the last two years, it offers chic little cafe's, local independent shops, wonderful little restaurants and a great atmosphere. We are all proud of where we live and endeavour to keep the area looking lovely. Just 10 mins from the city, close to Rowntree Park and the racecourse.
