Elegant Victorian Town House B&B, Period Features, 4 Luxury Rooms With Beautiful Four Poster Beds.
With victorian plaster coving, marble fireplaces and a fine old staircase, Arnot House blends period features and elegant furnishings with modern amenities. Terms include a full breakfast. Breakfasts are cooked on our lovely claret coloured Aga in the kitchen. Our eggs are from local free-range chickens and our bacon and sausages are made by a York butcher from his own locally reared animals. Start with a helping from the cold buffet on the victorian sideboard including fresh fruit salad, stewed fruit, fruit juices and yoghurts. Follow this with either a traditional full English breakfast, a vegetarian option or even scrambled eggs with smoked salmon....
Arnot House stands on Grosvenor Terrace, overlooking Bootham Park, with views across to York Minster. The city centre with its many shops and restaurants is a few minutes' walk away and all the city's attractions and museums are within easy walking distance. Much of York, within the ancient city walls, is pedestrianised during the day and it is a delight to wander around - traffic free! Arnot House makes the ideal base for a longer stay - an hour's drive brings you to the Yorkshire Moors and Dales, and the coastline from Scarborough to Whitby.
The three individually decorated bedrooms - named after North Yorkshire Abbeys - have either en-suite shower room or bathroom with bath and shower. Each has a colour television/dvd or video, hairdryer, alarm clock radio and hospitality tray as well as a number of other little extras to help you enjoy your stay... KIRKHAM - on the middle floor and has a six foot wide brass half tester bed/twin beds - depending on your choice. The room is decorated in yellows,greens and blues. It has a large ensuite bathroom with a clawfoot victorian bath and separate shower. BYLAND - on the middle floor of our house and has an ensuite shower room. It has a five foot wide (uk king) brass victorian fourposter bed and the room is decorated in blue and terracotta. RIEVAULX - on the top floor of our three storey house - has a large ensuite bathroom with corner bath and separate walk-in shower. The room is decorated in yellows and blues and has a 5 foot wide (uk king) victorian brass and cream fourposter bed.
Arnot House unfortunately does not take children as our small bed and breakfast is seen by many as a quiet and restful holiday retreat....in a peaceful side street only a few minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of York's wonderful historic centre. We cannot accomodate animals but we do have a small, black, and very friendly house cat called Millie.
