10/10 Excellent

The property is beautiful, historic, and close to attractions/shopping. The staff are wonderful and willing to help in any way possible
Joshua, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

An amazing place. My favorite is the garden where you can have a lovely lunch with bubbles, which is what we did. The room was incredible and the staff is just wonderful. Every time I go to York, that’s where I will stay.
Noha, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Delightful!

Loved everything about our stay at Grays Court. Amazing location, service and gardens. The hotel itself is well appointed and the service is top-notch. We will return.
Yolanda, 4-night trip

Brilliant hotel made better by staff

Absolutely fantastic stay. Beautiful property and grounds right next to York Minster. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Will definitely be returning.
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Gray’s Court is absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed, warm, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in every detail. The atmosphere is something special, elegant without being stuffy, and steeped in history while still feeling comfortable and inviting. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Location-wise, it’s perfect. Tucked right next to York Minster, you’re within walking distance of everything. Whether it’s a stroll along the city walls, a bite at a local pub, or exploring the Shambles, it’s all just steps away. Highly recommend Gray’s Court, it’s the kind of stay that makes a trip memorable.

PERFECTION.

Stunning venue, perfectly located. We had a fabulous weekend staying in the Fairfax room. Before the weekend was even over, we rebooked to return in September. Highly professional staff and stunning cuisine. Our new favourite place.

The property was arguably in the best location in York and an absolute delight. I won’t be staying anywhere else in future.
helen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything about this property is perfect. Grays Court is the most wonderful hotel we have ever experienced. Nestled behind York Minster, this historic property has all the charm of York, with a staff that is by far the most welcoming and friendly. The rooms are updated while still maintaining that historical feel. We were lucky enough to be able to book “The Mortimer” room, and it was exceptional. It offered some great views of the minster, and was spacious and very charming. The breakfast was very well done, and had a great variety to choose from. Taking a walk around the gardens is a must. They are so beautiful, and well maintained, and are enclosed by the property and the historic York City Walls. Also, this hotel manages to attract lovely, friendly guest, some of which we had the pleasure of conversing with in the beautiful bar area/galley. We also got to know the owner and their family, as well as the staff, and they are the most charming people. The hotel is within the perfect distance to the shambles, and York Minster. Please make this a stay of your if you plan to come to York. It will give you an experience you won’t forget. We will be returning to this property for years to come.
James, 3-night trip

What really made this hotel excel was the delightful and helpful staff. We even met the owner who was a really hands on person when it came to helping guests. The location is amazing- right by the Minster. Beautiful gardens.
stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Alla, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect

Stunning historical hotel in the heart of York. Like living in another time. Everything about this place is amazing. We could easily have spent our entire York stay in the hotel but there is so much to see and do in York. I really hope that we can return to this hotel one day.
Shaun, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
