Victorian comfort in York

Just back from a weekend in York with Matt.

We stayed at Ascot House Bed & Breakfast, a 15-minute walk from the city centre, and we'd both thoroughly recommend it.

It's run by a very friendly family for whom nothing's too much trouble, including storing our luggage for the day and calling us a taxi to take us to the station - even though we'd checked out hours earlier.

The room was very comfortable (my only quibble would be that the bed was a bit hard, but that didn't stop very good sleep), thick fluffy towels in the bathroom, and a breakfast that ticked both boxes of quality sausages and no baked beans unless you asked.

York is a beautiful city and there are plenty of great places to eat. We'd recommend Michael's Brasserie and Plunkets.

Pity the weekend was over so soon, really.
