Alcuin Lodge is a boutique guest house situated just 5 minutes stroll from the heart of the city, in a quiet cul-de-sac it's dining room overlooks an old fashioned bowling green. The Lodge is a beautifully maintained Edwardian period building, full of original features and charm. Each of the five guest bedrooms are comfortably and tastefully furnished by the owners, each with its own en-suite bathroom and tea and coffee making facilities. A mere five minute stroll into town through the charming Museum Gardens. Surprisingly compact with numerous incredible historical buildings, from 14th century pubs to medieval churches, York is also a thriving modern city, with fantastic shopping and fashionable bars and restaurants. Known for its history rather than culture, York also boasts numerous art galleries and a thriving music and theatre scene. Guests wishing to venture further afield may wish to explore the wilds of the Dales, or take a trip to the coastal towns of Whitby or Robin Hood's Bay, all easily accessible from the guest house. Alcuin Lodge is a perfect mixture: a quiet retreat in a buzzing city.
