Our renovation isn’t simply rearranging the furniture, but rather a com plete £2 million makeover – from the locallysourced stone flooring of our entrance, to the dramatic new courtyard , to the fully-refurbished rooms and en suites. And just a short, scenic wa lk to York city centre. First-class accommo dation to match the dazzling locatio n.
