I loved staying at this nicely decorated and modern suite in an old cocoa factory. I love quaint and historical surroundings but I also like modern fixtures and fittings to come home to! The kitchenette saved me a lot of money on dining out. The view out of the window of the river Foss and the ducks, geese, and swans was marvelous. It was such a nice retreat to come home to at the end of a busy day, and a nice place to hang out and catch up on emails and work on a rainy day. One proviso, if you are visiting York without a car and have limited mobility, this might not work for you. The bus stop is a 7 to 10 minute walk away, the murphy bed is low to the ground, and the suite is at the end of a very long hallway.
