This was our first stay at The Apple House but been to York before. The Apple House seems to be this family's labour of love. It has a very homely feel and we were welcomed so friendly and informative. We were unfortunate to have selected the loft in a heatwave, however we had an air cooling unit, fan and velux window so we coped just fine. It was like a little self contained apartment. Ideal for our stay. The only negatives if you want to be extremely picky, were that the carpet had a small tear, not dangerous. The bathroom wall had a small gap in line with the rafters, you couldnt see through unless you put your face up to it but you could hear. I think although a provision was in place the shower tray may need replacing at some point. The last flight of stairs had small treads, fine for us but with big bags or mobility issues it wouldnt be so good. None of this affected our stay. The location was great, about 10 minutes walk to the station and York Gate to be able to walk the wall. It took no more than 20 minutes walk to the city centre. We had a very well cooked full English breakfast tailored to exactly what we wanted plus yogurts, cereals, fruit, honestly the spread of food was amazing, welcoming and made you feel at home. I would definitely visit again.

We stayed at this guesthouse because it offered rooms suitable for families with children. The room and amenities were comfortable, and the delicious breakfast made us feel truly welcomed. My children were especially delighted with the bunk beds. We would love to stay there again if we have the opportunity.

What a great find as a place to stay for a couple of nights. Parking was a key criteria and there was enough space for a few cars. The room was immaculate, the bedding crisp and clean. Bottled water and hot drink options were in the room with buscuits and a Yorkie bar! My room was on the front but the double glazing kept out the traffic noise. The owners were very polite and helpful. You did have to make the breakfast choice the day before but that was no issue. The cold breakfast buffet provided an extensive range of cereals, fruit and pastries. Overall excellent.

Wonderful stay

My family (of four) had a lovely stay here. We had a family room, which was a double room with an adjoining room with bunk beds for our children. Very clean room and comfortable beds. Breakfast was wonderful, lots of selection and perfectly cooked breakfast. Welcoming and kind hosts. Walkable distance into the centre of York. Short cut through to the train station was very handy.

We had a comfortable stay at this property for 4 nights. The location is quite convenient and walkable from the railway station. There are several fast food joints in walkable distance. The owners and staff were welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was reasonably good with a decent spread. While we noticed that most of the rooms were quite well maintained, the furnishings in the family room where we stayed were slightly old and run down, so taking one star off the overall rating. At the same time, the bedding and towels provided were very clean. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to stay.

Beautiful little B&B with very friendly staff and a cute Apple theme. The decor is a little outdated, but it's clean with comfortable beds. Walking distance from the train station and a short walk into town, it's great if you're looking for a budget friendly option to crash in after exploring York all day.
