Sycamore guest house
Lovely B&B. Spirios was very welcoming and accommodating and always had a smile on his face. Room was clean and tidy and mirrored the rest of the guest house. Close to York city centre and 10 minutes from the train station. Would highly recommend a stay at this little gem

Sycamore Guest House
Went to York to see Christmas market,so looked for somewhere that was a a short walk from the centre. This is a quaint period property that is privately run. The host was very helpful and nothing was too much bother. Would certainly stay there again.

Great spot for all York's attractions
Very well placed but quiet spot close to all of York's sights and only 10 minutes from train station. Fabulous breakfast and both Spiros and his son were great hosts. If you like antique furniture and quirkiness whilst retaining the essential mod cons you'll love this b&b.

Decent stay with some disappointments
Host was nice enough, and location was good. Can’t speak for other rooms. But my room in particular was on the top floor, was really small and had a detached private bathroom that was also small and inconvenient. Although the bathroom situation was disclosed, the tight spaces and inconvenient access were not. I also needed to leave very early and made the room available for most of my stay and wasn’t offered even part of the payment back. I realize that’s policy. But some flexibility considering the very early departure would have been nice.

On hotel.com it’s advertising you can check in at 9am but when we got there they said it was 2:30pm😒 so was impressed. I was not the fault of the guest house they said they hotel.com would let them change it! Also after a 2-1/2hour drive we asked if we could use a toilet and where told we had to use the one in town! Other then that room was comfort and clean. Breakfast was amazing and where very attentive!
