About The Sycamore Guest House
A hearty breakfast with freshly ground coffee sets the tone at The Sycamore Guest House, a six-room guest house on a quiet residential street in York. There's also a bar and restaurant on site, useful for an evening drink or meal without having to venture out, plus a garden for sitting outside when the weather allows.
The six rooms are simple and comfortable, cared for by staff who are consistently described as friendly and welcoming. Facilities stretch to free WiFi, luggage storage and a meeting room, though the overall offering is modest rather than extensive, so those wanting a wide range of on-site amenities should look elsewhere. Free on-site parking is a practical bonus for anyone arriving by car.
Sycamore Place is peaceful despite being within easy walking distance of York's historic centre, making the guest house a straightforward base for exploring the city on foot. It suits guests who want a quiet night's sleep, a good breakfast and a short walk into town rather than a resort-style stay.

What guests say
Quite near to the train station and walkable distance to all major attractions and restaurants. Room was cozy but bathroom was too tiny for us as we both are a bit tall. Standard breakfast and sweet staff. Good for a nights stay to explore the city.

A little misleading in terms of location, as it's a bit of a walk into the city centre, but to walk along the river at night was amazing. The room I booked was definitely smaller than I anticipated, but was very cosy, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Came with it's own private bathroom too. The host was fantastic and a genuinely warm, and friendly person. Full English breakfast was included, (greatly appreciated after a night out!😅), and within a dining room boasting it's own fireplace. The coffee served was definitely a highlight. Overall, a pleasant stay indeed.

Very expensive for what you get. The room was very run down and the mattress on the bed needs to go to the nearest dump - it's totally knackered 🥺 Wallpaper peeling off in several places. Cooked breakfast was nice enough. But very little on offer for the continental buffet - no fruit salad, compote, pastries etc. Quite a walk into the city centre, but in a nice quiet street. The owner is lovely - friendly and welcoming. Overall, we were glad to only be staying one night.

A lovely, traditional bed and breakfast with a warm, homely feel to it. Very close to the city centre and down a nice, quiet street - we heard no noise at all at night, despite the town centre being busy. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room had everything we needed. Breakfast was 10/10, and the service could not have been better. You will struggle to find a better host than Natalie!
