At No. 1 York, we know how precious family time is, and our character-filled townhouse right in the heart of York city centre makes the perfect base for a family getaway.
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 fuss-free. And when it’s time for something sweet, our always-stocked, help-yourself Pantry is guaranteed to delight the whole family.
Designed for Curious Explorers
We believe the best family trips are the ones filled with imagination. That’s why our rooms come with playful touches like mini tipis for storytelling (in Large Guest Rooms and above), bedtime books, and a Yoto Player packed with audio adventures.
A Polaroid Camera
Little guests receive a Polaroid camera so they can snap their own memories around the city - from wandering medieval streets to discovering York Minster.
A Pantry Full of Treats
Our help-yourself Pantry is always stocked with little pick-me-ups, perfect after a day exploring.
Delicious Food for All Ages
At Pearly Cow restaurant, younger diners have their own Pearly Calves menu, so everyone can enjoy something delicious.

We also offer Bootham Suites that interconnect with Guest Rooms, along with a number of Guest Room to Guest Room combinations.
