Fodor's "With an unbeatable location between York Minster and its own half-acre garden, Gray's Court is an oasis of country-house peacefulness in the city center." Full review
Independent "Located down a quiet, ancient cobbled street adjacent to York Minster and the Treasurer’s House, Gray’s Court really is old York at its luxurious, romantic best"
Independent "Grays Court was originally the residence of York Minster’s first treasurer (hence its handy proximity to the soaring cathedral) and, over the last millennia, has played host to lords, knights and kings"
Independent "The hotel’s 12 bedrooms blend earthy tones with characterful antique furniture...there are plenty of inviting spots to hunker down with a book in the oak-panelled gallery."
