Warm boot recommendations please

[Joojoo]

Hello

 

Me again still planning the holiday so will update you when I've decided where to go BUT in the meantime... I'm going away for a weekend with a friend at the end of the month and we are thinking of either York or Oxford. Has anyone stayed there who can recommend a nice hotel?

 

Thanks x

The Crazy Bear is very nice in Oxford.

Hi JooJoo

 

if you don't mind being out of the city centre Aldwark Manor (York) is a fab hotel with a super spa as well. It is a about 20 minds from the centre but the park and ride is available too.

 

Oxford has a couple of nice ones that we have used - the Malmaison and the Old Bank always get good reports from our clients.

Thanks very much I'll have a search on the net for it.

The old Parsonage in Oxford is supposed to be lovely too, and like Malmaison and Old Bank, centrally located... I haven't stayed there myself though, and I think it's a bit on the pricey side...

Just had a look at The Crazy Bear - absolutely stunning but a bit too expensive for me! Beautiful though - if I win the lottery...

 

Thanks Ziggy I'll have a look at the ones you've suggested too

The old Parsonage is VERY expensive I have never stayed there but I know someone who won't stay anywhere else in the city

 

Avoid guest houses on the Iffley Road

Have a look at The Grange Hotel in York. Quite a nice place, Central to the main town/attractions, free parking, not too expensive.

This is a nice hotel I have never stayed only eaten and drunk there

 

It is in Iffley Village which is just gorgeous

This link gives you all the hotels in the various price bands so you should find something to suit

 

Doesn't have B&B's though there are some nice ones but be very careful there are some awful ones the Nanford came out as the worst B&B in the country in some TV programme about 5 years ago

Not so much a hotel ...more a B&B but the **Bar Convent** in York is very nice, and within spitting distance of the city centre.

 

It is about 500 yards from the city walls.

The dean court hotel York is right near the Minster...but parking may be a problem if your going by car.

Otherwise if your wanting something a little less extravagant there are loads of hotels on the outskirts of the city.

Take a look at The Blue Bridge Hotel Fulford [within walking distance to the centre.] Or Novotel in Fulford ...cheap and cheerful but clean and ideally located for all the attractions.

This is where we stayed when we went to York. is a tiny hotel - more of a B&B really but very nice.

We have always stayed in The Moat House Hotel in York. Very nice, on the river & close to the shops!!!!

I had a look at this one earlier and they have got special offer on for Jan & Feb of 25% off. Looked very nice. Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll have a look at them all in a bit after tea
