About No.1 by GuestHouse, York
A boutique hotel in the heart of York just a 10-minute walk from York Minster. The building is a Grade II Listed Regency townhouse with sash windows, high ceilings, a sweeping central staircase, and ivy around the door. Inside you’ll find pantries stocked full of treats, great restaurant food throughout the day, drinks from the bar and a spa centered on bespoke therapies. There’s 38 bedrooms, including three suites that are dotted around the building’s three floors. Each one has its quirks courtesy of the building’s heritage detailing. The rooms feature a flat-screen Smart TV, tea/coffee making facilities, an iron and hairdryer in the wardrobe. The spa sits down in the arches of the cellar. It’s a cocooning world of bespoke wellbeing experiences. There are five treatment rooms, including a room for two. And a soothing space for post-treatment relaxation. The Marmalade Lounge at No.1 is where the perfect afternoon tea is served. It combines savory and sweet treats that honor the noble tradition but brings playful flavors together to give it a twist for today. Pearly Cow is there for when something more substantial is needed. Pearly Cow is a new restaurant at 1, Clifton that is devoted to respecting what thrives nearby – the herds, breeds, crops, and catches that sum up the area’s flavor. The produce of land and sea we source is strictly the best – the wildest. Breakfast is light, hearty, or kick-starting with oysters and spiced-as-you-like bloody Marys. Lunch and dinner feature star ingredients in classics, interpretations, sharing dishes, and divine desserts. And kids have their own Pearly Calves menu. Afternoon tea is afternoon sea – a very fresh take on this timeless treat. And on Sundays, traditional roasts bring a beautiful close to the week A paid private car park is located on site. York Railway Station can be reached in 15 minutes on foot.

Reviews

Well located, friendly staff, nice touches, great spa experience. Our room was in the eaves. I’m 6’ 2”. So I couldn’t use the loo standing up, or stand in front of the bathroom sink to shave, and my head touched the shower head.
-
Beautiful decor, the snack pantry is a great idea.
-
Well positioned - lovely building. Room interior a bit all over the place. Good ‘communal’ areas although bar to brightly lit. A good bar atmosphere at night easily achieved - dim the lights! It was all pretty good. Stained stair carpets should be replaced
-
The decoration and the staffs The rooms were small, some places were dirty and got dust gathering on top of radio, bathroom tiles were broken and stained, could do a bit maintenance and upkeep.

Stylish and characterful accommodation in walking distance to York Minster. On-site secure parking (for a fee). Smart restaurant serving dinner from Thursday to Sunday, and offering breakfast daily. Loved the pantry idea if you need a snack. It’s on a main road so can be noisy if your room as at the front. The shower is in the bath in a standard room.

Fantastic location, beautiful property and lovely room. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Lovely toiletries. My son loved the pantry! Good drinks list at the bar. Very little not to like. The food is pretty expensive, but so are most things these days.
