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.

The individually designed rooms have a flat-screen TVs, Egyptian cotton bed linen, and tea and coffee making facilities. Some rooms have views of York Minster. Each offers en-suite facilities with luxury toiletries.

This guesthouse was so fantastic I had to leave a bit of a longer review than i normally would. My wife and I love the city of York anyway so we were excited to be coming back. But walking in the front door of this gorgeous, quirky guesthouse we knew we were in for a treat. We have quirky and eclectic tastes anyway, and this guesthouse far exceeded our expectations. Firstly the room was lovely and comfortable, and we felt right at home. But it's the front 'lounge/chill out' area that is the best thing. It's like stepping into someone's funky lounge room, actually a bit like our place lol. The owner has such great tastes. Lot's of knick knacks everywhere, funky little corners to chill out in, books everywhere to read. We got a great Nepalese takeout from down the road, a bottle of wine, and spent the night together reading some of the books to each other laughing and having such a wonderful and relaxing time. The place is so comfortable, nooky and feels so nice. And super close to town. I would recommend this place to everyone, and we can't wait to stay there again. The staff in the morning we spoke to were super lovely too. I wanted to say to the owner and the staff thank you from my wife and I, and please don't change anything about this place. There are already so many generic boring places out there to stay in. This place's differences are what makes it so refreshing

Every room is fitted with a flat-screen TV. Certain rooms include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom. Extras include free toiletries and a hairdryer.

This bed and breakfast is truly a gem and one of a kind. We have also posted a similar review on google as well. Linda and Jonathan truly care about their guests and are committed to ensuring we feel at home, at ease and comfortable. We had an amazing and relaxing stay here and adored being greeted by little Penny. Such amazing hosts with hearts of gold. The cakes, tea and breakfast were delicious and we loved the sausages. The train station is literally a short walk, peaceful location and kind neighbours. Our room was immaculately clean, cozy and had all the amenities provided to us. We recommend Grove House to anyone looking for a getaway that is a "home away from home." Thank you Linda, Jonathan and little Penny! (Ailene and Mason)

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    The place was a hidden gem. We stayed in hut number 7, such a colourful and romantic hut. We celebrated our wedding anniversary there and had a fantastic time. We were impressed with the decoration, the little touches and the comfortable bed. We got to relax a lot and even cooked some pasta and enjoyed a nice bottle of italian wine. The TV is good and the place has everything one needs. The shower was good too. We are certainly coming back.

    The staff were extremely welcoming, with everyone going above and beyond to make us comfortable. We had a lovely evening in the bar, with the bar staff making us custom mocktails which were delicious! We upgraded to the executive suite on the day and it was worth the £20 upgrade from standard. The walk in double shower was lovely and the extra room on the top floor really made us relax. Brilliant stay from start to finish and we will 100% stay again!

    Lovely staff, and we were upgraded to a larger room on arrival which was a nice surprise! The room was really nice and we both slept brilliantly in the very comfortable bed. An easy stroll to the train station or the city centre - it was the perfect base for a relaxing weekend away.

    Stayed here for the last 2 years for the New Year and it’s a lovely hotel. Close to the city centre. 5-10 minute on the bus or by taxi. Lovely room and staff. A lovely touch with balloons in the room as it was my girlfriends birthday! The spa is great to relax during the day!
