You're in just the right place to discover the luxury rooms at No. 1 York. We have a selection of room types to choose from - from snug and cosy to spacious and grand. Many come with leafy views, some with fireplaces, and the two Bootham Suites still echo their past lives as a drawing room and a library.
Every room is full of character, with locally sourced antiques, art and curios that tell York’s story in playful, charming ways. You'll also find our signature touches - a turntable for playing vinyls (with more to borrow downstairs), and a tea-and-coffee kit hidden inside a whimsical Doll’s House.
And of course, it wouldn't be a GuestHouse without a Pantry full of complimentary treats for the taking, whenever takes your fancy. Our pantry in York is centrally located on the first floor.
That no two bedrooms are the same is a fact we really like. But there are a few good things in common they all share.
Sealy mattress dressed in a savoy luxury hotel topper and 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton linen / The right to raid our Pantry packed full of treats / WiFi / Nespresso kit, kettle, tea & coffee / Wildsmith shampoo, conditioner & body wash / Hairdryer / Turntable (choose your records from the selection in the vinyl library) / Flat screen TV with freeview and chromecast.
Sleeps two | 13 sq m approx | King
These are our smallest rooms - cosy and charming. Each features a comfortable king-size bed. These are not for you if you are more than two, as there isn’t space for cots or dogs.
Maximum occupancy is 2
Sleeps two | 17 sq m approx | Super King
A step up in size, these are our standard rooms. But each one is different in its design and view as they are found all around the hotel. So, there’s nothing standard about them.
Maximum occupancy is 2
Sleeps two | 20 sq m approx | Twin-Bed or Super King
These rooms are a little bigger than our guest rooms, with a little more space. They have a spot for the dog, too.
Maximum occupancy up to 2 adults | 1 infant
27 sq m approx | Super King | Family-Friendly
For those who like a roomier situation, these lovely rooms leave plenty of space for kids’ and dogs’ bedding after the super-king-size bed or two decent-sized single beds.
Maximum occupancy up to 2 adults | 1 child | 1 infant

Half term in Bath! 🗒️
Bath is a great destination if you’re looking to get away during the school holidays. Save this post for some family-friendly activities to do in the city 🔖
1. Bring history to life at the @romanbathsuk
2. Enjoy the sun and scenic views along The Bath Canal Walk
3. Get creative at the @VictoriaArtGallerybath and @HolburneMuseumBath
4. Watch a performance at @TheEggTheatre, a dedicated children’s theatre
5. Discover the wonders of space at the Herschel Museum of Astronomy
6. Picnic in Royal Victoria Park which has a beautiful botanical garden and children’s play area
7. Marvel at the magical beauty of @BathAbbey and, if they’re up for a challenge, climb the tower for an impressive view of Bath
And if you’re looking for a place to set up camp for the adventures, we’ll make sure the little ones feel right at home. We have @yotoplay, storybooks, toys and Teepees (room dependent) to keep them entertained. For the adults - perhaps a nightcap once the children have dozed off is due - you deserve it 😉

Thank you to @allmumstalk and @alldads talk for these captures!
A guide to a GuestHouse stay - Bringing the dog
Canine friends - welcome! 🐾We`re not just dog-friendly, we`re dog-loving people at GuestHouse. They`ll be spoilt just as much for their very own special stay. We have bespoke @ivyandduke beds and pillows ready in room at check-in, along with a toy and treats 💛
There are a few things to note when booking your stay if you`re thinking of bringing your pup. Not all our rooms are suitable (safety plus tail-wagging space!) and there are a few good-to-knows too. You`ll be able to find all the details for each hotel on our website but you can always give us a call too 📞
So next time you`re thinking of booking a holiday but don`t want to leave them behind...you don`t have to 😉

Welcome to the Coach House at No. 15 Bath 💛
Behind the main buildings, you’ll find our castle-esque Coach House. There are Guest Rooms and Large Guest Rooms across two floors, some facing the main building, others facing Henrietta Park and it has its own pantry too.
With its separation from the main hotel, it makes for a great hideaway and hangout for a multi-generational family stay or a larger group gathering! From nana and granddad down to the littles ones, there’s a place for you...
A sensational 22 degrees celsius, an incredible crowd and sips and bites until sunset. Still buzzing from celebrating the launch of The Terrace by @pearlycowbrighton earlier this week!
Terrace season is officially here. Who’ll be joining us? First come, first served!
Sun, fun and an OOO on that inbox ☀️💻
