This three-pearl, 62-room country house hotel is located in Fulford, a quiet area just outside of York's ancient city walls. Once home to composer John Barry, the hotel has some interesting history and a typically English feel, with period features and tranquil gardens. Rooms are decorated in a simple country style, and all include flat-screen TVs and electric kettles, but no air-conditioning. Some ground floor rooms open out onto picturesque courtyards, and four-poster beds add more charm in certain units. Facilities are simple, including a traditional brasserie, cozy lounge, and bar serving local specialities. There are several function and meeting rooms, but no leisure and fitness facilities. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Travelers preferring a central location should consider Middletons Hotel instead, which adds fitness facilities and a pool.
