Owner and staff were friendly. Breakfast was amazing, best bacon and sausage in a full English I have tasted for a long time. A nice 15 minute walk into town and the same to the train station, so perfectly located. We stayed 4 nights in June when the weather was hot ~ 27° during the day. Our room was on the 2nd floor and was very hot when we retired at night, we were given a fan which didn't help much. Also we had to share a single bathroom which was problematic having to wait for the shower in the morning.
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at The Farthings! It's a little outside the main part of York, but still a short walk (~15 to 20 mins) to the Minster, the Shambles, and other areas. Still highly convenient. Breakfasts were great, and Helen was quick to give advice and tips on what to do if anyone asked!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Had to share a bathroom and beds were very uncomfortable and outdated old bedding.
The property was very homey and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The only criticism I'd have is that the internet was not very fast and was unstable at times.
