Spent 3 nights up in York with the family. Took 2 rooms which were interconnecting. The rooms were spotless and there were nice touches like magazines about Yorkshire in there. Our hosts gave us a very warm welcome and were always ready to give advice about places to visit. The location was excellent, just a couple of minutes from the... More

5 minute walk into the city. Very friendly helpful owners. Lovely breakfast. Room slightly on the small side if I'm honest, but everything you would want in it. Value for money, thank you.

Our room was a decent size, only issue we had was that the fan in the bathroom really wasn't powerful enough and so we had a bit of... More

We have been visiting York for over 18 years and stayed in numerous B&Bs until we discovered Monkgate and have stayed usually twice a year for the past five years. I think we have stayed in most of the rooms. It is everything a proper English B&B should be, with the most friendly welcome, excellent breakfast, clean, as well as... More
