Rumah Home B&B - York

I’d like to start by saying I am a huge animal lover, I adore dogs, just not when I’m eating. |My partner and I along with our 8 month old ate at the cafe today. The food was very yummy and good value, the service was quick and friendly……. But then there was the dogs. The big black dog spent most of its time going under peoples tables looking for crumbs and licking my baby’s feet. I also witnessed on several occasions the black dog and little grey scotty type dog go into the kitchen area. |It’s a shame because it’s a lovely place and the shop is fantastic, but I feel the owners should understand that not everyone appreciates dogs around them when they’re trying to eat. My partner and I weren’t the only ones who felt this, we heard two other tables grumble about the dogs and try to shoo them away.

Arrived at the stunning b&b Thursday afternoon, the village is so quiet and picturesque. We were given a warm welcome by Liz but before our departure, we were sent lots of useful information, eating places, taxis etc. Walked to The Fauconberg less than 5 minutes up the road. We ate late lunch here, so impressive we booked our evening meal there too. The village community feel was very friendly and welcoming. Our breakfast at Rumah prepared by Liz was nothing short of amazing. Fresh fruit, muesli, creamy yogurts, croissant, fresh baked bread, and more. We were only there for 2 nights but I really didn't want to leave. I felt so away from the hustle and bustle of a busy working life. Quick tip, if arriving at night, make sure you have a torch or phone torch as there are no street lights, we went to a concert at Castle Howard and couldn't see a thing when we got back late. Thank you Liz ?

Lovely house. Wonderful hostess who clearly loves her roles .|The dogs were enthusiastic. Loved the breakfast, unusual not to have a fry up but was delicious. A building with real heritage.|Dedicated bathrooms per room which were perfect.

This BnB is utterly beautiful.

It’s in an old Yorkshire cottage with tranquil garden out the back, horses in the paddock, and a warm homely feel.

Liz, our host, went above and beyond in helping us check in outside normal hours.

Breakfast had the most beautiful fruit salad, and plenty of coffee.

Rooms were very big, and because the village is tiny (although near a very good pub), it was quiet.

Would stay again in a heart beat.

We stayed two nights here. Liz was very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and charming. Breakfast (continental breakfast in our room) was very nice and generous: we got a packed lunch out of it was well! We had tea one afternoon which was great. Cheese scone and Victoria sandwich, both home made and very nice. The garden is lovely with plenty of seating. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks.

Rumah was an exceptional experience from start to finish. We were looked after by Liz herself, who was the warmest and most wonderful host. She really went out of her way to make us feel so welcome and well looked after during our stay. I couldn't rate Rumah highly enough. Thank you so much and I can't wait to plan my next stay.

We had an excellent stay at the B&B, delightful village setting, very quiet with lots to do in the area. The rooms were clean, well decorated and of great quality. Liz is a fantastic host and also provides an excellent selection for breakfast and makes an exceptional Lemon Drizzle cake. Highly recommend visting. 5/5

We stopped only for a drink & a light snack. We were made to feel very welcome & the drinks were very good; my hot chocolate especially was the best I’ve tasted in a long time. I had a gluten free brownie which was divine & my husband had a peach Bakewell tart. So different & he enjoyed every mouthful. We cannot recommend it highly enough. They also have a beautiful shop too but we were short of time so didn’t stop to peruse. Thank you to the 2 lovely ladies who served us.
