New Zealand“Close to the train station and only 10 minutes walk to city centre. Easy to access. Staff were friendly and helpful.”- Torjus
Norway“Great location when arriving into York by train, and far enough away from the busy parts of York for the evening. Filled with small histories and plaques about the home in general, adding to the aesthetic of it being an old mansion. Extremely good...”
