Family-friendly stays in York are an all year round good idea and at No. 1 is the ideal family-friendly hotel in which to base your elves.
We’ve thought of all the little details for our youngest guests - from Yoto Players with story-filled cards in every room to a dedicated kids’ menu that keeps mealtimes easy and fuss-free. And when it’s time for a treat, our always-stocked and always-popular help-yourself pantry is guaranteed to delight mums, dads and the younger members of the family.
Unser Team freut sich über die Möglichkeit, unseren kleinsten Gästen ein Gefühl von Zuhause zu vermitteln – gemütliche Tipis mit Büchern und Spielzeug stehen in unseren Familienzimmern bereit und sie können sich eine Polaroid-Kamera ausleihen, sodass sie, auch wenn sie noch nicht alt genug für ein Telefon sind, ihre eigenen Schnappschüsse machen können, um ihren Urlaub festzuhalten.
Wir haben Zimmer mit Verbindungstür, oder in unseren größeren Gästezimmern kann ein Zustellbett oder ein Kinderbett aufgestellt werden.
Or if you’re a larger family opt for The Clifton Suite, which has a double sofabed and interconnects with a twin bedded room so can accommodate a family of six.
Here’s a round up of our team's favourite family things to-do and to-see in York -
JORVIK Viking Centre - A brilliant, immersive journey into Viking-age York where little ones can ride through the sights, sounds and (yes) smells of the city’s past.
Walk the City Walls - A gentle, fuss-free adventure with unbeatable views. Wandering York’s ancient walls feels a little like stepping into a storybook - secret corners, towers, leafy views and plenty of places to hop off for a hot chocolate.
The Railway Museum - Home to iconic locomotives and beautiful collections, wander through the huge halls to explore the stories, places and engineering marvels behind the railways. Spot world-changing inventions like the Japanese Bullet Train and stand face-to-face with the world’s fastest steam locomotive, Mallard. Entrance is free but we still recommend booking your tickets online in advance.
The Shambles - One of Europe's best-preserved medieval shopping streets. A twisty, cobbled, beautifully crooked street that feels straight out of a fairytale, this iconic, narrow cobblestone street features overhanging timber-framed buildings that date back as far as the 14th century Little explorers love peering into sweet shops, wizard-themed stores and treasure-filled boutiques in this real-life version of Diagon Alley.
York’s Chocolate Story - A delicious dive into York’s confectionery past, complete with tasting, stories and a hands-on chocolate-making sessions.
York Minster - Majestic, awe-inspiring and steeped in stories. Families can follow child-friendly trails, spot hidden carvings, or climb the tower together for panoramic views over York’s rooftops.
The Castle Museum - An unforgettable journey through time that captivates visitors of all ages. Wnder down the atmospheric Victorian Kirkgate street, complete with authentic shop fronts and cobbled lanes, bringing history vividly to life. Children will be fascinated by the extensive toy collection spanning generations, while the recreated prison cells tell gripping stories of the past. Interactive exhibits encourage hands-on learning, making history engaging rather than passive. From period room settings to wartime displays, the museum brilliantly combines education with entertainment, ensuring an enriching day out.
The Yorkshire Museum - A brilliant mix of dinosaurs, Roman treasures and hands-on exhibits that spark imaginations - ideal for some fun on a drizzly day.
We host the kind of birthdays that your guests will be asking you for details about 🥂
