This was our second stay at No.21 and it was as enjoyable as the last. The room was lovely,large and clean. Andrea and Simon were both welcoming and helpful, there isn't much they don't know about York. The b&b is situated in a quiet street only a 5 minute walk from the town centre. The breakfast was gorgeous with plenty of choice, the produce is all local and cooked fresh daily. Will definitely be trying out the recipes as they are on the website. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay, in fact we have already booked for December.

We had a lovely weekend stay at No. 21 York Guest Accommodation. Simon and Andrea were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome. Our room was spotless and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable weekend away from home. The breakfasts were outstanding and set us up for the days of sightseeing. No.21 is perfectly situated in a quiet cul de sac just a short walk from the Minster and the city centre. It was our first visit to No. 21 but it definitely won’t be our last. Highly recommended.

My husband and I booked a winter “stay-cay” in England between Christmas and New Year. This year we picked York as I hadn’t been there before. We made the booking in August 2024.|The city is about the same size as ours (Oxford) with cultural similarities – a university city with grade listed buildings, cobbled streets and river side walks.|I was so grateful to come across this gem of a guesthouse online and book two nights via phone. Simon was attentive to our needs and contacted us to get everything in place ready for us for when we arrived. We wanted to bring our dog was happy to find a dog friendly guesthouse that provided breakfast.|York is very dog friendly – most coffee shops and pubs are fine with them. Only supermarkets and the York city walls and inside Yorkminster were out of bounds. There are plenty of dog walks, particularly the Museum gardens next door (which closed at 6pm).|The other guests cancelled due to COVID, so this meant we had the guesthouse to ourselves and lucky us! I have to say we were truly spoiled with the excellent standard of hospitality, food and the service of our host. We had the ground floor which was a perfect to proximity to breakfast, and to the front door (such a help for taking our dog out wee breaks at the end of the road).|This guesthouse is a 5-minute walk to the City Walls, 5-minute walk to the Train Station, and 10-minute walk to the Shambles. You will find plenty of excellent pubs or restaurants on almost every street corner. We left the car at the Guesthouse free of charge for the time we were there and went everywhere by foot.|The room was perfect – high ceilings, super comfortable bed and linens – plenty of dog bowls and bedding provided plus a nice compact shower room with complimentary his and hers dressing gowns (fab touch!). The room had full tea and coffee facilities and homemade biscotti to die for. The heating was easy to manage and meant we knew we had a cosy room to get back to after a chilly, foggy day in the city centre.|We didn’t know before we arrived, but Simon is an incredible cook, providing a sumptuous and varied breakfast menu to choose from each day whilst catering to all our dietary needs (vegetarian). Everything is made from scratch from the sourdough toast, to the hashbrowns. Anything Simon didn’t make came from local suppliers and independent businesses and his knowledge of the area meant he could provide a recommendation at the drop of a hat.|We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No.21 York Guesthouse and recommend it highly. We were so glad to have Simon’s incredible skills and knowledge all to ourselves and our dog just loved him! Thank you so much for having us.

If this place has a vacancy, book now. Seriously.

Excellent accommodations in a prime location with top-notch service. Rooms are clean and spacious (for the UK) with quality beds and bedding. Simon prepares the delicious breakfasts himself, even providing fresh, homemade bread! He and his wife Andrea generously cared for my girlfriend when she came down with a stomach bug, doing the best they could to make sure we still enjoyed our time in York. The two of them are superlative hosts, and this is one of the nicest guest houses I've ever visited. Highly, highly recommended!

The location of No21 is fantastic, the train station is approximately 5 minutes walk away.||The owners were friendly and accommodating and we were shown to our room.||The room was described as superior, which it isn't.|The positives were there was a fridge with fresh milk and water , and some lovely homemade cookies. The bedding was clean and fresh .||The room is quite small is a sliding door into the bathroom which is stiff and makes a noise, the shower is not the best , some of the grout is black in the shower and the wallpaper on the ceiling is coming off.||I appreciate its an old building and does need some work. ||The breakfast was plentiful and you wouldn't leave hungry, lots of choice and home made items .

We cannot recommend this B&B enough. Simon's porridge and full English breakfasts were wonderful, with homemade bread readily available. Our room room was clean and beyond comfortable. To name a few amenities, there were heated towel racks, robes, and locally-made, excellent mattresses. Both host and hostess went above and beyond to help us navigate a few unexpected circumstances by connecting us with local resources. We will be returning if we can!!!

We had a wonderful stay in York. Simon and Andrea were really welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything you need, and the breakfast was fantastic! We would definitely recommend No 21 and would stay there again next time we're in York.
