Me and my husband recently stayed here. Only a short 10-15 minute walk to the centre, lots of places to dine, quiet and safe. Ascot house was warm, friendly staff, clean & the english breakfast was piping hot. Would highly recommend staying here. We would definitely stay here again.
This B & B was a wonderful place to stay. It was a 20 minute walk to the historic center of York. The area was safe and the walk was easy. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to perfection! Highly recommend!
The staff was amazing, the older woman who checked me in was an angel. food was very good, and my room was a lot more impressive than thought it was going to be.
The manager (owner?) was lovely and gracious when we arrived. The hotel room met our needs and was comfortable. We enjoyed the antiques and old photos reflecting the age of the building. Breakfast was good with excellent service.
Ascot House is lovely and walkable to the heart of York. The breakfast is abundant and convenient, and the beds are comfortable. However, the room was cramped for a family of four, as there was little space for luggage or to put things.
Beautiful house. Comfy and the breakfast was amazing

Warts and all...
It is a nice old family owned/run place. The extreme heat doesn't help in an old brick building. But i was never told about construction and put on the top floor/attic is tough. Breakfast was very good, flexible in a lovely period piece location.
The street is noisy with buses and no AC. The top floor is very difficult (steep and narrow) so take note.
The hotel was in a good location. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Room was comfortable and clean and breakfast was excelent. Already planning next stay.
This place was amazing! We traveled England for 10 days and no place could touch the hospitality and breakfast that we had. Anybody who comes to York would love staying at this amazing home!
