Dean Court Hotel, York
A couple of weekends ago we visited the historic city of York courtesy of EnjoyEngland and visitYork, we were lucky enough to be staying in Dean Court Hotel.
York was the perfect choice for a historic weekend break being only a 2 hour direct journey from London’s Kings Cross with East Coast.
The front of Dean Court
Great Western’s Dean Court Hotel boasts arguably the best location in York, situated on a corner opposite York Minster. Walking from York’s Railway station gave us impressive views of the Gothic Cathedral on the way to our hotel.
Warm Friendly Welcome
On arrival at the hotels reception we received a warm, friendly welcome and were shown to our room. The Dean Court is an elegant and well looked after hotel, with approachable, friendly staff and generally a relaxed atmosphere.
The view from our room was as equally impressive as the hotels, looking out onto the front of York Minster. So close in fact that our late morning wake up call came in the form of mesmerisingly beautiful chorus of choir singing.
The room itself was extremely spacious with a four poster bed, nicely decorated bathroom and two sofas. A large TV and facilities for making cups of tea and coffee were available as well as room service. It was a very comfortable room to stay in after a hard days trek around Yorks numerous tourist attractions.
D.C.H- The Restaurant
On the Friday evening we had a superb three course meal at the D.C.H- The Restaurant, a restaurant that received a AA Rosette Award in 2011. You may even be lucky enough to have one of several tables in the restaurant looking out onto York Minster.
The Dean Court Hotel also has a cafe bar and bistro offering light snakes, hot dishes and beverages in a relaxed environment. The hotel has all the facilities you would expect from a four star hotel, but most importantly for us, free wifi.
Overall, Dean Court Hotel is arguably the best hotel for sight seeing in York. Positioned directly opposite York Minster itself means you’re guaranteed to have a unique, charming and historic visit to York even if you choose not to get out of bed.
