Hotels near Churchfield Open Space, York

Wonderful hotel! The room was excellent from the comfortable bed to the luxury touches such as the record player, the spa-like lotions and the quality coffee. The food and drinks at the Pearly Cow and bar were flawless with a cosy and warm atmosphere. Our couple’s spa experience was truly relaxing with attentive staff. The staff in general were very friendly and helpful! The location is only a short walk to the city ramparts and heart of the town - even the walk there takes you past some historic buildings! 10/10, highly recommend.

Stayed here with my girlfriend and I asked the hotel if they could sort anything out for me to make it a little bit ro***tic as it was her birthday. This was no issue for them at all. My girlfriend was surprised and the smile on her face was the best thing ever. I ended up paying for an extra night which was promptly sorted for me. Cannot thank the hotel enough. Next time I visit York I will stay here again

I visit York regularly and mostly stay in hotels. I decided to do something different this time and stay here. Checkin is through the pub downstairs. The two younger members of staff had no idea what to do when I arrived but the third member of staff took the lead to check me in and bring me to my room. Initial impression of the room was that it was nicely presented, clean and modern. However, I was simply shocked to find that my bathroom had no shower in it. I went back to reception and asked to be assigned a room with a shower but was told no other room was available. So, for the first time in many years, I stayed in a location that didn’t even have the most basic of facilities. If I knew this before I booked here, I certainly wouldn’t have made the booking. In the morning, I asked to have breakfast. It was cooked to order and was delicious. The lady who served me was very efficient and friendly. There’s no air conditioning in the room so I had to have a fan running all night to try to stay cool. So, would I stay here again? Probably not, I’m afraid. The lack of basic facilities is a complete show stopper for me.

Fab location but needs a little TLC. We were allocated Room 2 which over looked the secret garden The curtains wouldn’t shut properly as half the hooks were hanging off the rail. The carpet could do with replacing and there are items in the room that make it feel old and dusty ie suitcases/boxes on roof shelves. The bed was clean but the mattress had a slope on it which made sleeping a little awkward, the pillows were lovely and comfortable. The ensuite shower is horrendous all black slate tiles and black grout which didn’t make it inviting at all. it was missing an extractor fan as the ensuite was so damp and steamy after using the shower it was a haven for mould and with the black tiles and grout made it difficult to determine if mould was present. The breakfast was lovely but wasn’t comfortable in the dining area I’m not a fan of the plastic artificial follage decor as it’s difficult to maintain cleanliness again a haven for dust. Very disappointing

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and were drawn in by reputation and quality of the other principal hotels across the country. I was shocked to read so many bad reviews and almost booked somewhere else as a result. It seems most of the intolerant previous residents had issues with noise, smells. food, rooms, service. We didn’t experience any of that and can only conclude that most of the reviews are either planted as false information by competitors or result of warm summer, outdoor bar or questionable views / aspect of room. We stayed in a king on 3rd floor, room 300. If you’re worried about anything just book that one! Tasteful clean decor and great views to the minster. Notable comments for James who went above and beyond to sort out a small issue with audio description hardcoded into the TV, sorted smoothly and efficiently. Great location, atmosphere and setting. We will be back with our dog next time. Don’t believe everything you read from dissolutioned guests who want a megaphone to comment on perceived issues.

very noisy room as right next to a busy road and generator. kettle and mugs provided but no tea and coffee. room was £62 for the night which is good for York centre. Reception staff polite and friendly.

I'm giving a '5' rating because I think the owner and staff do as well as they can with this place, but there are some issues that I don't see any of the other reviews mention (or at least as far as I read), so I want to highlight those as well. The positives: Location is great for walking into the main area of York even if it is just a bit on the outskirts. Breakfast was fine and plentiful, though I have no idea what a good 'full English breakfast' is from a bad one. The sausage definitely didn't taste like American sausage, but I assume it isn't supposed to. But there are other breakfast options as well. The dining area is very nice. The owner (or whom I assume is the owner) is just as pleasant and helpful as can be. She helped us navigate our way around town and highlighted the places to visit. The not-as-positives: We had trouble finding the 'shortcut' to walk it from the train station. You'll probably want to use your phone for directions, but if they provided a map rather than text directions, it would be helpful Being a house, there are no elevators. We were pleasantly offered help with our luggage, but be warned that it does have to be carried up steps if you are in a room on other than the ground floor. As for our room itself, it was small, and wasn't easy to navigate around in with two suitcases. The bathroom shower would not fit a large person. Fortunately, we are both on the slimmer side, but it was even tight for us. The noise from traffic was very apparent, as was noise from other guests. We literally heard another guest snoring in an adjoining room. So essentially, the place isn't 'perfect', but I think it's a good value and deserves to be considered. We're likely to never find ourselves in York again since we don't travel that often (but it's well worth a visit), and frankly, if we did, we'd probably research other accommodations as well, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from using Apple House.

We have stayed here 12 times now. We love it here because all the staff are great. The rooms are comfy,the breakfast is always delicious, It has a bar which you can have drink and go out into their lovely gardens You can walk into York with in 15 minutes or catch a bus down so in other words it's a great place to stay

When we arrived there was no staff anywhere to be seen until someone from restaurant came and got someone, however when she did arrive she was very nice and helpful. I asked to be in a refurbished room and wasn’t, shower was broke and hanging off the hinges and squirts all over. The car parking is not good as there is only 6 spaces and it’s £10 per night. Food was nice however wasn’t fully well done like I asked but was still nice. Lovely man in restaurant and guy behind reception on nights took pictures for us and brought my bfs surprise bday cake out. Lovely night staff got us water after we arrived back after night out. Would like to thank the housekeeping staff for making the room lovely with all of the decorations I brought to decorate it with for my bfs bday.

This is a lovely place to stay and highly recommended it. The apartment was large and spacious with good cooking facilities and a lovely dining area. The bathroom is large and modern, and the water pressure for the shower is fantastic. Plenty of towels are available. The bedrooms are large with a good amount of wardrobe and drawer space. There are plenty of mirrors in the apartment which, when there are a few of you getting ready, is definitely a plus! The pub itself is lovely and traditional. There are some lovely original features which Dan told us about which were really interesting. He has very extensive knowledge of the building and its history and is really worth having a listen to him. The location is excellent. It is a 5-10 minute walk from the city centre and just a 2 minute walk from the river. There is parking available on site for no extra cost which is extremely handy for a City like York. Breakfast is available for an extra cost and it is excellent. Evening meals are also available (most evenings) and I highly recommend that you eat here at least one night because the food is excellent. It is well cooked, well presented and the choice is fantastic. There is plenty of food served for both breakfast and evening meals and are all available at a reasonable price. My compliments to the chefs. Finally, all other staff at the pub were very attentive and very friendly. All in all, great location, great value, great amenities, great food, great host and great staff. Absolutely recommend for your stay in York
