This is a remarkable property, a meticulously maintained historic building backing onto an extensive garden, with a friendly and responsive staff.

The staff were amazing, friendly, professional and so welcoming.

Wonderful location nestled next to the Minster and with its own access to the city wall. A small intimate hotel with excellent staff. Fabulous couple of days.

Wonderful location, gorgeous garden, super friendly staff, good breakfast, large bathroom with tub, 2 sinks, good shower, slippers, bathrobes, and good amenities. Room was on the smaller side but the two lounge chairs were comfortable and positioned well. Main criticism was having to haul our suitcases up multiple flights of stairs.

This is a wonderful gem of a hotel. Easily the best I have ever stayed in. The staff are exceptional, the rooms and garden just gorgeous. Will certainly be coming back and intend to try the evening meal next time. Much recommended!

Exquisite in every way. Staff were so friendly and accommodating- exactly what you are looking for in a boutique hotel. The decor was brilliant and the garden ambiance was amazing! Rooms were hot but comfortable in every other way.

Stayed here for a weekend in June 2024. We didnt realise at first how close in proximity it was to all the major tourist areas we wanted to explore - so this hotel is a must book if you want to do things like explore York Minister, see the art gallery, or even just wander along the Shambles. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly - being a boutique hotel they offer the sort of greeting that many chain hotels dont - its next level customer service with a hint of posh. I was however, a bit concerned by their room facilities. The bed area in our room seemed a bit squashed together - two twin beds with other bits and pieces of furniture that had water bottles on one and a coffee machine crammed onto the other. While these are nice touches I just felt maybe something else could have been done. The wardrobe at the end of the hall with robes/slippers and ironing board/iron was nice and tucked away - obviously had to be done because theres no other space for a wardrobe. The bathroom was nicely decorated and lovely to see posh toiletries - unfortunately this was let down by the shower which pumped out hot water to such a degree I felt I might leave with third degree burns even after much faffing with the dial. Garden area really peaceful and lovely, nice place to escape with a drink (if you dont mind a fair few steps to get to it). However you wont be able to enjoy any rum here as the inhouse bar doesnt stock it!

Stayed at greys court York right near the minster - park at the hotel for £20 . Room was large and comfortable all staff were helpful and friendly . It’s in the heart of York so you can just walk straight in town . It’s lovely place to stay would highly recommend

Overall a very lovely stay, historical building and very friendly service. One problem was about 30 mins wait during breakfast, but staff apologised, so that's ok. Very comfortable bed, good coffee and nice toiletries.

This is a unique experience in the most intimate part of York.

We had a fantastic stay at your lovely hotel. We so loved sitting in the garden enjoying our lunch. The food was fantastic and the view better.

This is a hidden gem of a hotel which is wonderfully positioned almost in the shadow of York Minster. If you are lucky enough to have good weather during your stay, then relaxing in the beautiful garden sitting under the city walls with a drink or a good book is a delight. The staff were unfailingly pleasant and helpful and contributed hugely to the experience. The only downside which stops me giving our stay five stars is the almost total lack of drawer space and hanging space in the bedroom meaning my wife, in particular, had to live out of a suitcase for the duration of our stay. Such a pity as the room was otherwise excellent.

I cannot recommend Grays Court enough - I decided to visit York for the first time and the moment I walked into the beautiful hotel, I was taken care of by Suzanna who made me feel at home, gave me a map with suggestions of where to explore, and then sent me away to my train the next day with a lovely treat to enjoy. The hotel is marvelous, service perfect, and the rooms and grounds are stunning with a quick walk into York and all that there was to explore.

Amazing property that backed right on to the city wall walk and York Minster. Did tasting menu one evening and it was outstanding. Not for anyone not ready for lots of stairs. No elevator at all. Loved our room but bathroom was up a flight of narrow winding stairs.. an experience at 2 in the am.

Wonderful beautiful property very unique and full of history. More for couples vs family unless teenagers that have appreciation for history

Absolutely taken aback with this gem of a hotel. You felt as if you were detached from the city of York despite being bang in the middle of it. Wonderful staff, so helpful and obliging. We will return. 🙂
