Ideal location for walking into York centre. Only took about 10 minutes. Great that we could leave the car in the secure parking and not use it until we left! Danielle was lovely and made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The lady who served us breakfast was very friendly as well. Tarquin cooked a great breakfast each morning. We ordered what we wanted the night before and selected a time to eat, which worked out great as the food was ready for us within minutes of sitting down! Bed was very comfortable and room was clean, with a fridge and lots of tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Very large bathroom with a huge bath. Definitely recommended and hope to be back later in the year!

Staff and owners are so friendly and welcoming, always happy to stop and chat ask of everythings ok it's a pleasure to stay (returning stay). Little touches like dvds to use, books to read. Value is outstanding and breakfast is lovely with continental and choice of cooked food. Short walk to city centre. Free parking, free WiFi. Extra touches like chocolate bar, hot chocolate, biscuits all complimentary. We've paid a lot more and got a lot less for our money in York so we'll be regulars now we've found this gem!

Not a complaint but we would prefere mattress protector and no carbon monoxide alarm near to boiler

The Apple House greeted us with a friendly and very welcoming arrival. There are so many well thought out extras. The room we stayed in (number 2 Empire) was spacious with a quality stocked tea tray, beautiful towels, very comfortable bed and an additional heater should you need it. The breakfast was exceptional especially enjoyed the fruit bowl and thick yoghurt (much better than many others hotels/b&b's). I also posted a Google review which shows the fruit on offer. We are looking forward to many more stays. Short walk into city, plus when you get to the traffic lights where Micklegate starts there are steps on the left up to the wall and that is a lovely walk along into the city centre.

There was nothing to dislike.

Lovely traditional B&B, ran by a very friendly couple. It just had lovely quaint vibes and reminded me of the all the lovely B&Bs I stayed in as a child. It was very clean, the service was fabulous, and the bed was very comfy. Plus the location is ideal.

Almost everything was spot on. The only slight issue was that my husband’s bacon and sausage was a little hard on the 1st morning. Still very tasty, and fine the 2nd day - so probably just a one-off hiccough behind the scenes. These things happen, not a big deal. A suggestion I would have is to offer a vegetarian sausage or bacon, and egg sandwich as a breakfast option. The veggie breakfast was delicious, but I have a habit of eating everything that is in front of me - so a smaller but filling hot breakfast option would have been a great option for me. This is entirely a personal preference and not a negative comment about our stay or the establishment. Thank you so much, we hope to be back soon!

Firstly, the location! Only 5 minutes walk from York Railway Station. Lovely big house in a residential area. Really warm welcome, pre-orders for breakfast taken for the following morning. Clean, warm room with en-suite bathroom. Very comfy bed. Plenty of tea, coffee, sugar, bottled water & even biscuits & a Yorkie chocolate bar! Fantastic choice at breakfast, fresh fruit, yoghurts, choice of cereals, and fruit juices. Tastey, cooked breakfast served to our table (pre-ordered day before!) There is a choice of a big or small breakfast, so you can change your mind the next day! Pot of tea or coffee served fresh to the table. Excellent, comfortable stay, only 5-10 minutes walk into York city. Would definitely stay here again!

Nothing negative to say! Only a suggestion....I would prefer to order cooked breakfast at the table, in case I don't feel like too much to eat. I do appreciate it helps the chef with planning and less waste food in the kitchen.

The hosts were very welcoming. The room was warm, comfortable and well appointed. The breakfasts were amazing. Full breakfasts but also wide variety of cereals, lovely fruit and yoghurts. The location was close to the rail station but there was also a car park. The hosts sent instructions of how to find the car park and details of a short cut if walking from the rail station. Highly recommended. Also recommend a lovely pub the Crystal Palace just along the road from The Apple House. We'll worth a visit.

Great room. Bright and airy. Great location. Private off street parking which was an important point for us. Cooked full English breakfast each morning was very good and staff were pleasant and attentive. Although clearly very busy, we were not aware of noise from other residents. For younger guests there was a great selection of toys and games available. Check in and out was easy and hassle free. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good base to explore York. Good bus service and sightseeing bus stops a 5 min walk away.

Decor tired in places. Our room was situated at rear and up on the second floor, so lots of stairs to consider. Railway line (a busy one) at bottom of garden, and overnight rail works were being carried out during our stay. Works were certainly noisy and very bright floodlights in operation at that time.

So many thoughtful touches. The hospitality tray was great, with a good choice of drinks, the usual biscuit packet, but also a chocolate bar. There was even a tiny tabletop fridge we made use of, in the room. Breakfast was plentiful. The property itself is a little dated in some areas, but all areas are clean and the whole place has a welcoming feeling. Parking for both our motorbikes was perfect with plenty of room in this rear secure area. The owners are a delight and so obliging. We will definitely be back.

The shower was not the best, as the water got cooler as you used it. The lock of our room was annoyingly difficult to use. We stood several minutes each morning trying to get the key to turn.

The location was great, not right in the centre but close enough to walk to everything. The bed was so comfy I had the best sleep on it. The breakfast was delicious and was cooked when sat at the table. The tea and coffee in the room was good quality, not cheap stuff, and the treat of a yorkie bar was nice. The bottles on water in the fridge was nice, too, after a day of walking around. The staff were really friendly, I asked for a bottle to be put in the room for my boyfriends birthday, which they did and sent a card for him too. Nice to have private parking, too. Would definitely go back.

There wasn't anything I didn't like.

Everything was fabulous, the hotel is in a brilliant location for exploring the city as it's a 10 minute walk from the center and plenty of food options even closer. The car park was a major bonus. Breakfast in the morning was delicious as was the coffee. Warm, welcoming environment with fabulous owners. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in York.

My only "meh" was the shower in our room was a little claustrophobic for my 6.3ft husband. Only mentioning for review purposes because if you are of larger build or very tall you may struggle a little. I can't comment on shower facilities in other rooms I'm 5.5 and it was fine for me 😊
