We have held two events at Grays Court in 2012, both of which have been a great success. This was due not only to the fabulous setting but also the management & staff who are extremely organised, helpful & friendly. Both the owner & events coordinator played a major role in ensuring all went smoothly both prior & during the... More

We had an enjoyable stay at Grays Court. The house is very old and interesting with lots of history. All staff members we encountered were friendly and the location is an ideal base for visiting York whilst being very quiet (almost too quiet!) in the evening as it’s situated on a quiet lane behind the minster. You do pay a... More

We fell in love with Grays Court when we saw it and knew it would be our perfect wedding venue. It was great to have the whole day in one stunning venue and not have to move the guests around. We had a few 'issues' with the previous wedding coordinator in early 2011, but after Katharine took over in Spring... More

Found Grays Court via TripAdvisor when our usual choice - The Grange - was fully booked. Sadly we only stayed for one night but would definitely return (sorry Grange!) Grays Court is a beautiful piece of York history and the renovations carried out by the owners are superb. Lovely rooms, great breakfast, charming owner and staff, beautiful furniture, tastefully decor,... More

Dear Whitby 1964, Thank you for your comments, both I and the staff are greatly encouraged by positive feedback. I note your comments about the bed. I am preparing to embark on the next phase of bedrooms and will ensure that either the beds are longer, or have no footboards. I hope to see you again in the future. Kind... More

My husband and I recently had our wedding celebration meal in the Minster Room at Grays Court Hotel. We choose a vegertarian hot buffet and it was delicious. Even our meat eating friends were impressed with the standard of the food and service. Nothing was too much trouble and we had the meal we were promised. Attention to detail was... More

First of all the location of Grays Court is fantastic! Tucked into a cobbled street behind the Minster, beside the Treasurer's House, and with a garden that is bounded by the city walls - you couldn't ask for a more picturesque location. The staff were all lovely and caring - my only comment would be that it would helpful to... More

We spent our wedding day in the beautiful surroundings of Grays Court and in the safe hands of Katharine and her amazing team. Set back in a quiet corner of Yorks inner walls and tucked away from the bustle of the tourist foot fall, this is the perfect romantic setting for anyones special day. From the very moment we made...

We did not stay overnight but a Family Wedding brought us to Grays Court and we found it a Wonderful Venue. The setting in the shadows on York Minster was beautiful, the Staff were most attentive and the FOOD at the Reception was out of this world. The organisation must have been excellent because the whole day went very smoothly... More

Perfect location, an absolutely wonderful building, very comfy beds (I'm only 6ft though...) and lovely helpful staff. Not quite perfect yet but we really enjoyed our stay here. You could definitely do worse! Oh and I do believe three Kings of England have stayed there in it's time... The place oozes history More

We are regular visitors to York but for our first anniversary we decided to spash out at the recently opened Gray's Court. The location is perfect close to the Minster and the building is historic. Our bedroom was a good size but lacked finishing touches, we looked at bare walls, and the 4 poster bed had neither curtains or canopy... More
