This is a hidden gem of a hotel. The staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms are immaculately clean, and the breakfasts are high quality. It is tucked away behind York Minster in a quiet spot with a private stairway to the city walls from a secluded garden. Highly recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

We usually stay at the grand when visiting York, but we thought we would just try something a little bit different. Grays Court is a lovely place to stay very intimate and personable. Even though we didn’t have an evening meal here, the breakfast was spot-on didn’t disappoint. The grounds are beautifully kept. One point of warning it’s a very tight entrance with cobblestones driveway I have a very low Car and it did catch somewhat. The raised cobblestones as I drove in limited spaces for parking. £25 a night I wasn’t aware of but I probably missed the small print. Overall excellent two nights stay.

The reception was first class. The room very clean with a wonderfully comfortable bed. The breakfast was also very good but some might say lacked much choice ie fresh fruit etc. however all the staff we encountered were friendly and very helpful. The position of the hotel in York could not have been better Our visit took place on 29th March 2026.
