No.1 by GuestHouse, York

York is one of our favourite northern getaways. And our home in this noble city is just a 10-minute walk from York Minster (the most uttered word on sight of which is ‘wow’). The building is a Grade II Listed Regency townhouse of stately proportions and head-turningly good looks. It has huge, dreamy sash windows, higher-than-high ceilings, a sweeping central staircase, and ivy around the door. Its grand-but-friendly face is full of charm, and inside you’ll find pantries stocked full of treats for the taking, great restaurant food throughout the day, delicious drinks from the bar, a spa centred on bespoke therapies, and a straight-from-the-heart welcome.
