Grays Court

Absolutely fantastic stay. Beautiful property and grounds right next to York Minster. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Stunning venue, perfectly located. We had a fabulous weekend staying in the Fairfax room. Before the weekend was even over, we rebooked to return in September. Highly professional staff and stunning cuisine. Our new favourite place.

The best hotel in York. Always a delight to come and stay at this historic and beautifully restored place. The staff are always kind and welcoming.

Stunning historical hotel in the heart of York. Like living in another time. Everything about this place is amazing. We could easily have spent our entire York stay in the hotel but there is so much to see and do in York. I really hope that we can return to this hotel one day.

Hotel was wonderful. Unique. Our bathroom was on a second floor from the bedroom. We had to climb a narrow spiral staircase to get to it. Once u got used to the stairs it wasnt a big deal in the middle of the night. Would definetely stay there again.

The property is very old and absolutely lovely, but with all the updates needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend.

What really made this hotel excel was the delightful and helpful staff. We even met the owner who was a really hands on person when it came to helping guests. The location is amazing- right by the Minster. Beautiful gardens.

The property was arguably in the best location in York and an absolute delight. I won’t be staying anywhere else in future.

Absolutely lovely!

This is a Jewel! Go to the Garden, enjoy the 600 year old experience. Everything was at it's highest level!! You get to check in early if your room is ready. Our room had a view of the cathedral. The staff is super friendly. Just entering the Hotel via an ancient cobble stone path is so cool!!

What a fun stay in York! We were pleasantly surprised to have convenient parking right in the heart of town. A gorgeous property with a lovely room and comfortable bed. We could easily walk to the Minster, Shambles and City Wall with no problem. The cooked to order breakfast was excellent as were all the staff we met. They made sure our stay was completely comfortable.

Amazing place! Lots of charming character, but modern and luxurious amenities.

Wonderful experience, the staff could not have been any nicer. We would definitely stay here again

This is a remarkable property, a meticulously maintained historic building backing onto an extensive garden, with a friendly and responsive staff.

The staff were amazing, friendly, professional and so welcoming.

Wonderful location nestled next to the Minster and with its own access to the city wall. A small intimate hotel with excellent staff. Fabulous couple of days.

Wonderful location, gorgeous garden, super friendly staff, good breakfast, large bathroom with tub, 2 sinks, good shower, slippers, bathrobes, and good amenities. Room was on the smaller side but the two lounge chairs were comfortable and positioned well. Main criticism was having to haul our suitcases up multiple flights of stairs.

This is a wonderful gem of a hotel. Easily the best I have ever stayed in. The staff are exceptional, the rooms and garden just gorgeous. Will certainly be coming back and intend to try the evening meal next time. Much recommended!

Exquisite in every way. Staff were so friendly and accommodating- exactly what you are looking for in a boutique hotel. The decor was brilliant and the garden ambiance was amazing! Rooms were hot but comfortable in every other way.

Stayed here for a weekend in June 2024. We didnt realise at first how close in proximity it was to all the major tourist areas we wanted to explore - so this hotel is a must book if you want to do things like explore York Minister, see the art gallery, or even just wander along the Shambles. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly - being a boutique hotel they offer the sort of greeting that many chain hotels dont - its next level customer service with a hint of posh. I was however, a bit concerned by their room facilities. The bed area in our room seemed a bit squashed together - two twin beds with other bits and pieces of furniture that had water bottles on one and a coffee machine crammed onto the other. While these are nice touches I just felt maybe something else could have been done. The wardrobe at the end of the hall with robes/slippers and ironing board/iron was nice and tucked away - obviously had to be done because theres no other space for a wardrobe. The bathroom was nicely decorated and lovely to see posh toiletries - unfortunately this was let down by the shower which pumped out hot water to such a degree I felt I might leave with third degree burns even after much faffing with the dial. Garden area really peaceful and lovely, nice place to escape with a drink (if you dont mind a fair few steps to get to it). However you wont be able to enjoy any rum here as the inhouse bar doesnt stock it!
