Stayed over the bank holiday at this hotel for one night only, small double room with ensuite, spotlessly clean and very friendly staff the breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day ahead. Great location just a 10 minute stroll into the centre. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for your groovy comments. If you are staying for one night we would allocate the smallest rooms, seems fairest; however these are highly highly satisfactory. Can we tempt you to stay longer in the Summer? We have some great 3+ night offers on at the mo and we may get some decent weather. However we have no control... More

we had the bootham suite, on the top floor. It was just what we needed, quiet and airy with good facilities and a king sized bed. The staff were friendly and helpful, there was a car park, it was an easy walk into the city centre, and breakfast was cooked to order. Job done.

I decided to stay here again after an earlier good experience and was not disappointed. They have done some quality refurbishment over the last year or so and the whole place is looking well presented. By coincidence I had the same pleasant room as last time with a view over the quiet street outside. The bathroom was immaculate and the... More

I liked this one. It has a lovely setting in a leafy, quiet street in a good area. It's an easy walk from the station (took me about 15 mins) across the river and through some quiet, safe residential streets and similar distance to the city center. It felt nicely away from the more hectic zones. The big main house... More

The Groves isn't really what I would call a guest house - more a very good hotel that happens not to do evening meals. I judge an establishment by the quality of its breakfast sausages - The Groves are superb. Located in a quiet residential street about 10 minutes leisurely walk from the city, it's an ideal base.
