About

Saxon House Bed & Breakfast - York

Saxon House is a modest, family-run bed & breakfast on Fulford Road, about a 7-minute walk from York Barbican and less than 20 minutes on foot from the city centre. The property includes a Yorvik Brass Rubbing Centre next door, and Leeds Bradford airport is roughly a 50-minute drive away.

Rooms are simple but clean, with parquet flooring and a sitting area in some. The property also offers a two-bedroom apartment with a self-catering kitchen. Free private parking is available in the inner courtyard, a rarity in York where town parking can cost about £14 per day.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

  • Breakfast included — A full English or self-service breakfast is part of the rate, with guests calling it adequate to excellent.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is short — Arrivals are only accepted from 14:00 to 19:00, which could be tight if your travel plans run late.
  • Rooms can be small — Some rooms, especially those facing the back yard, are described as very small, though clean.
  • No night staff — There is no staff on duty overnight; guests get their own keys, which may be a consideration if you need assistance late.
  • Aging furnishings — Some guests felt the property is a bit old-fashioned and could use updating, though it remains clean.
