For one looking to enjoy the architectural and historical attractions in York, there is no better place to stay than at the Bar Convent. First established in 1686 as a school for Catholic girls, this Grade I listed Georgian building not only provides comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation for the weary traveller, but also is a treasure trove of cultural interest, with a library of antique books, an abundantly filled archive room, and a gorgeous neo-classical chapel with a rich history. All this right at your doorstep, and conveniently located mere minutes by foot from the railway station, city centre and must-see attractions such as the York Minster.
The B&B provides some en suite and self-catering facilities, but ample bathrooms, an in-house café, and selected homemade meals by request ensure that you never want for anything during your stay. A continental-style breakfast is included in the room rates, but for a small extra charge you can request a home-cooked full English breakfast if you prefer.
