    The Old Forge offered all we needed for a weekend trip to York with two small children. The house was quite spacious and gave us enough room to play and have family time when we were in. Communication with the owners was always swift. Location was perfect, not too far from town centre and very quiet surroundings.

    Stunning and well maintained property, plenty of room for our family of 3 adults/2 toddlers/1 baby. Everything was spotless, and the property owner was very responsive to any issues (boiler was off when we arrived for eg but quickly fixed). Ample on street parking and a handy parking pass which was great so we could leave the car worry free. A very easy walk to the walled section of York, every attraction couldn't have been more than a 15min wander at toddler pace!

    There was plenty of room for a family with 2 young children. Had everything we needed including a cot, high chair and bath. The location was amazing very central, but the complex was quiet and modern. The parking as well was a huge bonus. We would definitely stay again.

    It was a warm and cosy place, I'll definitely be returning when I can. I travelled with a toddler so it was nice coming to a family friendly place with a wonderful host. Its central to local shops and some good restaurants. It has a nice park, I couldn't take my daughter but maybe next time.

    We were staying with our toddler and we loved the family concept: teepee, books and toys in the room, the train going around the room in the bar, the kids menu at the restaurant - it’s little touches but our child was excited and we were happy. I also appreciated that our family room and bathroom were both spacious. The food at the Pearly Cow was excellent and their steak tartare and chateaubriand are unmissable.

    This was a very comfortable b&b, well placed for the station and for walking into the town the next day. Danielle and Tarquin were good hosts, they responded swiftly to messages I sent, sorted a cot and high chair for my baby and were welcoming (they even got a plaster for my brother’s foot when he had a blister). The room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast was tasty and generous in amount. A gem of b&b, very family friendly.
