TESTIMONIALS
We’ll be back
Lovely room, wonderfully comfortable bed, and delicious, hearty breakfast with bread made fresh on-site every day. Owners are great to work with, and it’s a quiet spot within a 10-minute walk of town and the rail station. We’ll be back!
Excellent guest house at St Raphael’s in York
Highly recommended guest house at St Raphael’s. Lovely rooms, close to York within easy walking distance, fabulous breakfast with freshly home made bread every morning. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Sunny breakfast room with a large window. When we next visit York we will return and have no hesitation in recommending for a super stay.
Stay here
This guest house is an easy walk from the train station. Al and Les are super friendly and will give all the help you need…both before and during arrival. The rooms are quiet and its very close to the main sites. We arranged a rent a car to travel on. The care hire came around and picked us up. Breakfast was outstanding. Its hard to imagine how one could improve on the b & b. Highly recommended.
Wonderful hospitality – absolutely the best B & B ever!
We stayed 6 nights and woke up each morning to the aroma of freshly baked bread! The room was impeccably clean and smelled wonderful every single day thanks to the beautiful fresh roses. The hosts were fantastic – warm, welcoming and lovely to be around. This place really is an example of the very best B & B – we would not stay anywhere else in York. St Raphael deserves it’s great reputation – a lot of hard work goes into every thoughtful aspect of the rooms and services provided. Well done!!!!
Visit for Racing and sightseeing.
The perfect guest house. Friendly, helpful, amazing breakfast and smell of fresh bread every morning. We were given extra time to use parking permit which was very kind. We will definitely be coming back and recommended to others. Thank you for a perfect stay.
Weekend away
The owners couldn’t have been anymore friendly, helpful and welcoming. The guest house and bedroom was immaculate and homely. The breakfast selection and quality was amazing! Would definitely return – planning another visit with our children. The location was perfect. A very short and scenic stroll into the city. Check in and parking was made very easy. Thank you for a very memorable weekend.
Very Friendly
A really nice BnB ran by lovely people. Breakfast was excellent. Parking close by and only a short walk to the centre of York. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby as well as the tourist attractions.
What a great find!
Although I’m not one for writing reviews, we had such a wonderful experience here that I thought it was in order. First of all — perfect location to the old town, about a five minute walk. Second – beautiful rooms and a cooked to order breakfast. Finally – wonderful people! I give St. Raphael a five-star salute!
Wake up to the smell of homemade bread…
One word to describe our stay at St Raphael Guest House… EXCELLENT! The location is perfect. The owners were absolutely wonderful. Waking up to the smell of fresh homemade bread in the morning was amazing. Breakfast was excellent as well. No complaints at all. Our room was also perfect and beautiful.
Wonderful comfortable place to stay in York
