We booked into the Alexander House after reading the glowing reviews of other TripAdvisor members. It was all true. David and Gliian warmly welcomed us, parked the car, gave helpful directions, dinner ideas and a terrific breakfast. The room was lovely and the bath a delight!. Can't think of a thing that could have improved the visit. PS The Alexander... more

What a splendid couple of hosts! They certainly should be favoured with a sixth star of luxury for their most cordial hospitality and friendliness. Regrettable that we could stay only for 2 days on our thruway to Scotland. Hans-Peter and Brigitte from Munich Germany more

My friend and I have just returned from a 3 day visit to York and stayed at this guest house. We arrived to have a cup of tea and biscuits ready for us while our luggage was taken up to our room. The room was on the top floor and had a double bed and a single. Beautiful restful decor... more

After reading postings here I was confident this B&B would be a good choice- we are glad we did! Dave and Gillian Reynard are wonderful hosts and you'd be hard pressed to find a more comfortable and quiet location to rest after a busy day visiting York and the area. We have been to York before and decided to try... more

My wife and I drove up from London for a quick weekend trip to York with a couple of friends. We saw the review of the Alexander House on Trip Advisor and contacted the owners directly. They we’re extremely helpful when booking. Upon arrival, we were served with tea and biscuits, which was a very nice touch. The couple that... more

We have just returned from a lovely 3 day break to York. We stayed at Alexander House where we were looked after by Gill and Dave, hosts who possess old-fashioned charm and attentiveness. Our room was delightful with a very comfortable king-sized bed. There was a good selection of hot drinks and nice toiletries. The breakfast was superb ! The... more

Spent three very enjoyable days in York with this delightful guest house as a base. A very friendly welcome and a lovely warm room awaited us on our Friday-night arrival well after dark. The hotel is luxuriously furnished and situated less than 10 minutes' walk from the city centre. A piping hot (grilled) breakfast set us up every morning for... more

Such a wonderful B&B, which was family friendly and impeccably clean. Great location for walking into downtown York, just 10 minutes on foot. Nice park around the corner. Delicious and hearty breakfast served, with many choices. Lovely furnishings and polite owners. Would stay here again if ever in York. more
