Apple house is a delightful place to stay while at York. Staff are nice and approachable. Breakfast has a number of choices with good portions. Free parking is the biggest perk staying with them. We don't mind the 10mins walk to the city. Definitely staying here again if we visit York in the future.

This was an ideal venue for me for a four day trip. It was so refreshing to stay in a place with a bit of personality after some of the soul-less uniformity that we are more often offered. The owners are attentive but not intrusive. Lovely breakfast. It is located near the train station, so you can hear trains, but I don't mind this. Well located for buses etc but distances to most things of interest are walkable.
