Access to the city walls, beautiful gardens, intriguing historic features.

The parking fees are a bit outrageous!!! The decor could use a refresh in certain areas to match the charming ambiance of the hotel, yet some public spaces looked untidy for such a high-end price point.

Couples looking for a romantic stay, don’t miss this

The building has a charm that's hard to find these days, we stayed in the Mortimer room with gorgeous views of the cathedral. Enjoyed a delightful dinner experience in their gallery bar, perfectly paired wine for each course was just superb.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but for what you get, it was acceptable.

Grays Court offered a memorable stay for my family. The stunning gardens and its proximity to York Minster provided the perfect environment for exploration. While I missed some air conditioning, the friendly staff and the enjoyable breakfast made our visit worthwhile. Definitely a place to return to!

Charming Stay with Great Staff

We enjoyed a wonderful one-night stay, taking advantage of the lovely garden for evening relaxation. The staff were incredibly welcoming, especially Mary, who made our breakfast experience memorable. Make sure to explore local dining options as the hotel’s dinner wasn't available. Reserve parking in advance!

we enjoyed our stay at this charming hotel during our trip in york, which really exceeded our expectations. the beautiful decor and the inviting garden made for a delightful environment, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. we particularly loved the exquisite tasting menu that we still talk about days later.

Just an excellent fit for a weekend jaunt in York with good value for money. The freshly baked bread at breakfast was a highlight. Make sure to explore the beautiful gardens for some quiet time.

Had a fantastic weekend with friends! We loved relaxing in the beautiful gardens and enjoyed explore the stunning architecture nearby. Breakfast was a highlight with fresh pastries and a great selection. The four-poster bed in our room was super comfy. Highly recommend the tasting menu at the restaurant too!

Great location and beautiful gardens, but breakfast took too long.

Exceptional Stay in a Historic Setting

During our stay, we were captivated by the charm of the beautifully decorated space and the inviting garden, which is an amazing spot for relaxation after exploring. The attentive staff consistently made us feel welcomed, and the tasting menu was a culinary highlight that we still rave about. Breakfast was a delight with fresh options, ensuring we started our day perfectly. the absence of air conditioning in warmer weather could be improved.

The gardens were stunning, and we loved having access to the historic city walls. Enjoyed the unique room decor and the cozy courtyard vibe. Definitely recommend the homemade cookies for your journey!

Felt like in a fairy, no reason to complain.

Exceptional rain shower in a lovely clean room.
