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.
