Birchfield Guest House - York

The room was extremely small, but comfortable beds. The place claims that it's a bed and breakfast, but there really isn't any breakfast. There is instant coffee and some bread and butter. The eating room is very poorly decorated and depressing.

My priority in chosing a hotel is the proximity to rail travel, your reprsenitive assured me it was within close walking distance. It is not and cost extensive addition costs for cab fare, which as you know is rather expensive in GB

Steve was an excellent host, who was there to greet us upon arrival. He pointed out the local restaraunts and points of interest. The room was very clean and modern with a light breakfast served. A 15 minute walk from the train station. I would definately return.

Lovely place to stay, easy walk to main attractions. Situated near a few nice places to eat and drink. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and very clean. No issues at all, would happily stay here again

We recently spent 2 nights in Birchfield with my partner, her sister and their parents. All three rooms we had were very comfortable & warm, with tea & coffee making facilities and free wi-fi. The 'help-yourself' breakfast had a good selection of cereals along with toast, crumpets & teacakes. The hotel is not far outside the city walls and we were glad […] to be away from the crowds we encountered on Saturday afternoon when doing the touristy thing. The cafes & restaurants recommended by the owners were great - we loved the Sicilian cafe (Trinacria) down the road, and had a fantastic meal in the Red Chilli on Saturday night. Though check-out was at 10 on Sunday, we were able to leave our bags downstairs and nip back to get them before getting our train. Read more

Room was as described and was clean with a good size bathroom. I think the b&b only has about 8 rooms, in a house that is about 5 minutes walk to the Mickelgate Bar so it was convenient for going into the city. Owner is helpful. Breakfast is simple.

We were very satisfied with all aspects of our few days break. The guest house was close to all we wanted to see. The room was very adequate, clean, plenty of hot water. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast , although not a cooked one was good.. The proprietor was very friendly and very helpful.

From the moment that I walked in I knew that the right choice had been made. The guest house is beautifully presented and is very clean and tidy. The owner, Steve made a point of wanting to meet us when we arrived and sat us down before showing us our rooms. My wife and I were extrememly impressed from the first minute of walking in!! The rooms are […] large and well furnished and more importantly, spotlessly clean. The guest house is well located, being only a ten minute walk from the city centre. Steve is extremely friendly and willing to assist with any query. He is clearly a guest house owner who knows what his customers want. Read more

We stayed here for three nights and will definitely stay again when we return to York. A nice 10 min walk from the train station and greeted by a lovely patio area outside the property. We were in one of the second floor rooms with a very large comfy bed, plenty of floor space around it and storage. The roll top bath in the bathroom was lovely. Everywhere […] was spotless. The breakfast was ideal. I would never choose to have a cooked breakfast if a B+B offered it so it was good to stay somewhere that doesn't provide one so therefore I wasn't paying for anything I wasn't making use of. A variety of cereals, toast, crumpets and scones was plenty. The owners were lovely, gave us info on arrival about various places to visit and eat in York. Location is ideal, close enough to the centre but quiet too. A sainsburys express just down the road is handy en route to town. Read more

Steve, our host, was absolutely outstanding in his assistance to us. He allowed us to use his computer to catch up on home emails, and identified suitable accommodation for our next stay in another UK city, by speaking to the owners of several possibilities, and then recommending one that proved to be very satisfactory. We had delightful contact with […] Steve's family as well. I would recommend this location very highly! Even before we got there, Steve had contacted to give up helpful advice about parking arrangements, and things to do in York. Read more

It's worth visiting this establishment for owner Steve's company alone. Our room was a good size & spotless & Steve's greeting & infomation for our visit to the York area was so helpfull. A lovely walk into all the sighs & we thought it was in a very nice area of town. Birchfield covered all our needs. I see a few complaints about breakfast but it is […] advertisied as a contintinal breakfast & was plentifull & we certainly didn't go looking for more food plus Steve's company at breakfast added to a good start to the day we thought. I gave a 4 for maintenance as our shower had a dicky screen that needed attention but that' s all we could find fault with. Read more

I was pleased with my room and was given a single room as was my friend at no extra cost even though we booked a twin room. Both rooms were well maintained and pleasantly furnished but cold and no heating came on even in the evening. The breakfast was poor and given that it was desccribed as a 'full' breakfast we felt very let down by the make it yourself […] toast ,cereals and watery juice on offer. The lack of any staff at breakfast and lack of response when I pressed the bell that was supposed to summon help was annoying and the like of which I have never encountered before. The breakfast area was very unwelcoming and there was a pile of used bed linen in one corner. It would have been a very miserable experience for a single traveller in particular. Read more

Nice guest house overall; suitable for one-day stay at York, especially for international tourists. The host has some nice tips about travelling around York.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This B&B was 10 mins walk from York train station and same to York centre. Superb B&B with friendly host. Cleanliness ten out of ten with as much tea and coffee and you want for your room. Continental breakfast is as much as you can eat with cheese, crumpets, cereal, toast, fruit. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

Fantastic stay. Amazing location- we just walked everywhere from the guest house. Room was really spacious and extremely comfortable. Had everything you're expect and more. I would suggest contacting owner Steve direct when you make your booking to give him the chance to look after you personally.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice, quiet, guest house within ten minutes walk of city centre. Rooms were clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Steve was most helpful and gave good advice on local amenities and getting best value during our short stay. Best to contact him direct for useful tips.

On arrival upgraded a room and soon found out nothing was a problem. Parking was at a premimum in the area but that was soon overcome with a parking permit. Steve the owner even rang us prior to departure for Estimated Time of Arrival so that he could greet us. All in all a very comfortable friendly hotel that comes highly recommended. Bob W

We stated one night in this Guest House. The rate is cheaper than most of the the guest house that you can find in central York. The neighbourhood is nice, walkable distance to central York. The room is big and comfortable, things are new and clean. Breakfast room is nicely setup and is self service breakfast with cereals and bread. Our stay is in winter […] time, I saw tables and seats in their small garden outside which is nice for summer time. People looking for full english breakfast B&B, this is not the one but given the rate of this hotel, I think they are giving the best of it. Once you arrived, a A4 paper full of information is provided to you which contains really good tourist information. Read more

Stayed at the the Birchfield for 2 nights 11-13th November. Owner Steve welcomed us and showed us to room which was pleasantly decorated, very clean with good sized on suite with shower. It was well kitted out with tea and coffee making facilities, multi channel TV, iron and board, hair drier and plenty of wardrobe and drawer storage space. Steve provided […] useful information on recommendations for places to eat, one of which we tried on first night - Mason's Arms, and it lived up to expectation and also tips on parking. Breakfast was as advertised with selection of cereals, orange juice, breads and crumpets with tea and coffeee. All self service. Breakfast room was a pleasant meeting place with friendly discussion with other guests, more friendly than in larger hotels. All in we would certainly recommend the Birchfield based on cost, comfort, cleanliness and location (for those prepared to walk as we are) will use again when in York. Read more

Asiallinen henkilökunta, siisti paikka, hyvä perusaamiainen ja kohtuullisen lähellä keskustaa. Hyvät opastukset omistajalta. Ei mikään luksuspaikka mutta ei sitä haettukaan. Hinta-laatusuhde toimi.

Snyggt, rent rum m trevlig inredning och helt ok frukost. 8 minuters promenad till ringmuren och statskärnan, så läget är helt perfekt. Det vi upplevde som störande var värdparets skrifliga förmaningar om hur dyrt allt är och hur vi måste hjälpa till att spara pengar åt honom på olika sätt, samt att vi uppmanades sätta minst en femma som helhetsintryck […] eftersom allt annat skulle förstöra statistiken.....
