Family-run guest house with a warm welcome. Easy check-in, clean and quiet room with a comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Walkable from the rail station and the centre of town - both about 15-20 minutes away along roads where I felt safe. I would happily stay there again.
Lovely guest house with lovely host & staff, very clean, great en-suite room, great breakfasts, 15 minutes from York center so very close to all the attractions, will definetly book again for another break
Had a woderful stay at Farthings guest House.
Room was really comfortable and Helen the owner was so helpful.
The breakfast was superb.
Situated near to the City centre and Railway station.
Easy to get my trips from train station to Scarborough and on to whitby.
Will recommend this to my family and friends and i shall definitely rebook early in the new year for a longer stay.
Good location, just a short walk into the city.
Nice breakfast and more than enough parking just outside.
Only complaints were a very soft bed (personal preference) and a shower that lacked pressure.
This was an excellent b&b - very comfortable, clean, and cosy. Breakfast was delicious and staff were very polite. Check in and out process was really easy.
Helen is really helpful and lovely
