I really enjoyed my stay at Ashbourne House! The room was very comfortable and bright, with all the amenities I needed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is great too -- a lovely walk along the river away from the bustling city centre.

Fantastic couple of nights here, check in was easy, parking either straight out front or on the street around the corner. Bus stop just outside with an easy trip into town so we could have a drink with dinner and not worry about driving. Can touch on to the bus with a credit card. Breakfast was freshly prepared to order by the hosts and was excellent quality! Would stay again.

Very smart accomodation, rooms very well presented with great decor. Very comfortable beds and good bathrooms. Very friendly owners and a simple and effective check in and out. Nice location in Fulford, on the edge of York centre and plenty of good pubs and restaurants in short walking distance.

Great Stay

I only stayed for one night, however Ashbourne House is beautifully maintained and my room was exquisite for the price. I stay in London hotels a lot and I wish I could afford somewhere like this when I'm there because it would cost a fortune. Will definitely stay again.

We booked Ashbourne House on the back of all the reviews and it did not disappoint. Absolutely fantastic stay. Spotlessly clean, powerful shower, the most comfortable bed, all the little extra touches and Fiona and Ricardo were the best and most helpful hosts. There is a bus stop right opposite and just 10 minute journey into town. Highly recommend and would definitely use again if returning to York.
