By car, train or coach:
We are conveniently located close to the city centre.

By Car:

We are located on Bootham (A19), approx 0.5 miles from the city centre. Look out for a footbridge crossing the road - we are close to this, opposite a very old school building. Our car park is at the rear of the property, and accessed from Burton Stone Lane (this road has the 'Burton Stone' pub on the corner.) About 30 yards along Burton Stone Lane, you will see a public car park on the right hand side. Enter this car park, and go through the gap in the back right-hand corner. Our parking is in the numbered spaces.

For those guests who are not familiar with York, be warned that the city centre contains pedestrian streets & one-way systems. For this reason, we strongly advise using the York Northern Ring Road (A1237) and approaching from the North. Coming into York along the A19 from this direction, we are about 20 yards before the footbridge on the left hand side.

By Train:

To walk to us from the station takes about 10-15 minutes. On exiting York Station by the main entrance (with the taxi rank,) turn left. Follow the road past the Royal York hotel, and cross straight over at the traffic lights. Go straight on, and through the gate in the bar walls (city walls.) turn left, and cross the river. Continue straight ahead to the next set of traffic lights. Turn left and continue to the next set of traffic lights. Turn left again, into Bootham, and walk until you see a footbridge crossing the road. We are on the right hand side.

Alternatively, it is only a couple of minutes in a taxi!!

By coach:

York's national express stop is at the railway station - see the above directions.

By air:

The closest airport is Leeds Bradford, which is approximately 45 minutes drive away. Manchester and Birmingham airports both have excellent train links to York, taking 2-3 hours.
