Guest reviews for Dairy Guest House
"Lovely little place and the location was perfect, the host were really nice and friendly. Breakfast was nice, the continental breakfast was very minimal. The bed wasn't the best but generally a really lovely place to stay and would definitely stay again."

"Great location. Excellent breakfast. Comfortable room."
"Shower wasn't great."
"Dairy house hits the spot! Breakfast was fantastic, the poached eggs were the best I’ve had. A short walk from the station and again into the city centre. Lots of lovely little shops locally too and a supermarket right on the corner. The owners were super nice and as alone traveller I felt very safe."
"Aucun."
"Great location, just a 15 minute walk into the city. The room was cosy and tea/coffee facilities were lovely. The housekeeper lady who served us breakfast was friendly and helpful."
"The host could have welcomed us more warmly and thanked us on leaving. It felt like he was just going through the motions and he showed no interest in us as guests. Condensation in the bathroom was leading to some growth of mould below the window. Towels were hard and overused and need replacing. The double bed was very small and the wooden board at the head caused some discomfort. Breakfast times were dictated to us by the host. On the first morning we had the last breakfast slot and the bacon and mushrooms were dried up and over cooked. The omelette breakfast on the next day was equally dry and quite tasteless. The fruit salad looked stale and uninviting. It felt like quite a bit of penny pinching on the side of the host considering the hefty price."
"My room was a single room that offered all that I needed, it was a pleasant room very comfy and exceptionally clean. There was a warm welcome and my vegan needs were catered for. A great location for the centre of York and the Christmas market. Would highly recommend."
"The weather but this is the UK in November."

"It was welcoming, clean & comfortable. The owner was there to greet us & see us to our room. There were lovely little touches like chocolates, biscuits, hot water bottles (which weren’t needed) & a magazine in our room. Very clean & a lovely breakfast provided in the morning."
