The hotel staff were welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was very good, one draw back was that as it was a hot day I slept with windows open and the noise from the cars outside was a bit noisy.

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.

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.

What a great find as a place to stay for a couple of nights. Parking was a key criteria and there was enough space for a few cars. The room was immaculate, the bedding crisp and clean. Bottled water and hot drink options were in the room with buscuits and a Yorkie bar! My room was on the front but the double glazing kept out the traffic noise. The owners were very polite and helpful. You did have to make the breakfast choice the day before but that was no issue. The cold breakfast buffet provided an extensive range of cereals, fruit and pastries. Overall excellent.
