Mel (& Paul) Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have to go to York in June for a two day seminar. We have been toldthe company will not pay for us to stay in a hotel the night before the first day. York is a 5 hour drive which would mean leaving about 4 in the morning!!! Anyway, I was thinking of staying in a B&B overnight but obviously it cant be TOO expensive as I have to pay for it myself. Anyone got any recommendations of cheap / friendly / clean B&Bs? (and if anyone says the words "Quality Hotels" I shall smack them!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Yes.........Him Indoors grew up in York!! Try the Bar Convent.......They do B&B.....very popular...so book early!!! http://www.bar-convent.org.uk/ (The word Bar refers to the fact that it is located near a gate in the city walls.....and has nothing to do with drinking arrangements!)

Egluntyne Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Very good Mel. Don't be put of by the Convent side of things....it is really nice....and literally a 5 minute walk from the city centre and all the touristy bits. PS...Him Indoors went to the Bar Convent School hundreds of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner.girl Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 If you can't get a room at the bar convent place try the 'Ashberry Hotel' Mel - its actually a B&B - we went to York with friends for a long weekend last year and stayed there - it was lovely... http://clients.thisisyork.co.uk/ashberry/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
