Absolutley fabulous place! This is a gorgeous, family run hotel with a great room that included a four poster bed. It's in easy walk to York Minster. Nice and quiet, and has great breakfasts. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable place to stay.

Absolutely spotlessly clean hotel, a little old fashioned in its decor but a gorgeous building with a beautiful staircase and stained glass window. The bedroom was modern and clean, the bathroom was clearly very new with a lovely shower, sadly no where to put my washbag near the sink in the bathroom and the bedroom was too dark to use the free standing mirror to put makeup on at the dressing table! (I was in room 23 up in the roof space so only had velux windows) Nice touch with tea and coffee had to pop over the road to the Co op for a bottle of water! The stairs up to the roof bedrooms is very very narrow with small treads so not easy getting up with a suitcase so beware if your mobility is slightly compromised. The breakfast was cooked to order, which was fantastic, with a great selection of cold meats, cereals, fruit juice etc etc, no reason to go hungry. June was lovely and gave me a very warm welcome. Would i stay again - absolutely though parking was difficult as the car park was almost full with one space spare but careless parking by the other residents meant i had to park on the road outside, which is fine if you are leaving before 9am which i was.

Great place to stay, very clean and service excellent, breakfast is very good, full English, individually cooked and coupled with fresh fruit, yoghurt and cereal, makes for a hearty start to the day. A steady stroll of about 15mins and you are in the centre of all the York attractions. Dog friendly. Would definitely recommend the Ascot for anyone wanting to visit York

Cant recommend a stay here enough! Fantastic!
We stayed for two nights and had a wonderful stay. The Staff is so friendly and the included breakfast was restaurant quality with a homemade feel. The towels were so fluffy and the beds, while looking antique, had modern mattresses that were very comfortable. The rooms were quiet and we all slept well after hiking around York.

This is a charming little b&b. The breakfast service was very good and all the staff were kind. Small and cozy atmosphere. 15-20 minute easy walk to Minster down town. A good shop for snacks across the street and a good pub about 10 minutes away.

Great weekend Stay at Ascot House York.
Lovely property with lots of original features and onsite parking. Located within 15 minutes walk of York centre. We could not fault the cleanliness of this lovely B & B Our bedroom and bathroom were spacious and well equiped( first floor room 11) The bed was very comfortable too which is always a bonus. The room is located on the 1st floor at the front of the property and as the windows are single glazed original sash cord windows, they dont block out traffic noise completely so if your a light sleeper this room might not suit you. Our breakfast was excellent. Quality produce. All items of cooked food were prepared perfectly and served hot. Friendly cheerfull staff. It was our 25th Anniversary Celebration weekend which was perfect. We will definately stay at Ascot House York again.

What’s lovely place to stay. Large and comfortable room, excellent facilities and a beautiful ambiance. The breakfast was first class and we received a lovely recommendation for a light evening meal nearby. It is very walkable into the centre of York, but at one point we chose to take the bus and that too is both convenient and easy. We would not hesitate to recommend Ascot House and will make it our first choice on any subsequent visit to York.

Brilliant stay
Just had a 2 night stay at Ascot House with our dog Sid. I can’t praise it enough for cleanliness, breakfast, room size and decor with a fabulous bathroom. The staff at breakfast were extremely friendly and helpful (I have Coeliac disease which they catered for very well). Owner was very welcoming and even came to personally say goodbye. The house was beautiful and very elegant.
