Situated just 300 metres from York Minster, Minster Walk Guest House is a charming 300-year old coaching inn with free WiFi.

Whilst enjoying a quiet position, the privately owned property looks onto the city walls and is just 5 minutes' stroll from the Shambles. York Railway Station can be reached within a 10-minute walk.

The Minster Walk Guest house exudes offbeat charm. From the fun and cozy lobby to the little details in the rooms, our stay was a delight. Our room was very clean, with a big comfy bed, new modern bathroom and beautiful view of the Minster. You can't beat the custom breakfast that's brought straight to you room... it was delicious! And the location is fantastic. It was right outside the city wall, and quiet, but only a short walk into the city center.

Booked a single but got a lovely double bed in a cosy well appointed room. Very friendly and informative welcome with loads of tourist information provided by Donna to help plan my visit.
