Set in secluded gardens, Clementine's Town House Hotel, BW Premier Collection has free WiFi and characterful rooms. Clementine's Town House Hotel, BW Premier Collection is just a 10-minute walk from York Minster and the Theatre Royal.

Where do I start. Owing to the national rail workers' strike, our plan to travel on the overnight sleeper train from Inverness down to London, and then potentially needing to get back to Hull, we figured we were better served getting to York hours before the strike kicked in, spending a couple of nights in York to sandwich the strike, and heading to Hull afterwards. I cannot express how blown away we were with this place. Not your archetypal city centre hotel, Clementine's retains a very rustic, unique vibe, is impeccably presented and maintained, and is quite honestly perhaps the best overnight property I've ever stayed. A little away from the city centre (albeit only a ten minute walk from the city walls), the peace and tranquility in the leafy outlying streets of York makes this the perfect place to stay when you've got little ones in tow. My ten year-old adored the place, I utterly adored it, and for sure on returning to York - which we will - it's here or bust.
