Welcome to our Guest house B&B in York
The Bentley is welcoming guest house in a Victorian street situated just 8-10 minutes’ walk from the historic centre of York. The bedrooms are all ensuite and characterfully decorated. Margaret and Steve worked for many years in educational aid to developing countries. Artefacts and pictures collected in these countries have been used to decorate the guest house.
As well as towels, soap and shower gel, each room has a colour TV, hair-dryer, radio alarm-clock and a tray with a kettle and a selection of sachets of tea, coffee and drinking chocolate, together with some biscuits.There is also a mini decanter of sherry, which you can drink as an aperitif or, if you prefer, as a night cap. To make you feel even more at home there are pot plants and fresh cut flowers.
A superb breakfast is one of the highlights of a stay at the Bentley. To start with we offer a choice of cereals as well as fresh-fruit salad made with local and exotic fruits, dried fruits softened in apple juice and plain or fruit yoghurts. This is followed by the traditional full English grilled breakfast of bacon and egg, sausage, black-pudding, hash-browns, baked beans, mushrooms and tomatoes. (You don't have to have everything. We cook to order following your selection.) To round it off there are home-made jams and marmalade, together with home-baked brown and white bread. For those wanting a lighter meal, we offer smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Vegetarian options are also available provided we have notice.
Our Location
We also try to advise you where to go depending on your interests whether it is in, for example, railway engines, musuems, Italian food, unusual jewellery or chocolate and fudge. York is called the 'city of festivals', the most famous of which takes place every four years when modern day 'guilds' - unions, colleges and civic groups - perform the York cycle of mediaeval mystery plays. Other years, there are festivals of early and late music, Vikings, science and food. At the end of November is St Nicholas' Christmas Fayre, followed in December by the Festival of Angels, when ice sculptures decorate the narrow streets of old York, and of course Christmas is celebrated with carols in the Minster. Throughout the year there are continental and farmers' markets, brass band concerts, horse race meetings, model railway exhibitions and a host of smaller specialist meetings. There are always things to do in York.
