The Farthings Guest House

The Farthings Guest House provides bed-and-breakfast accommodation in York, with a friendly, informal style and a focus on comfortable stays. The property is suited to visitors looking for a traditional guest house rather than a self-catering base or a large hotel, with breakfast included as part of the accommodation.

Breakfast is a central feature, with food sourced locally in Yorkshire. The offering reflects the character of the region and gives the guest house a clear connection to local produce. Breakfast is served daily, making the property a practical choice for guests planning sightseeing, race days or other activities from an early start.

Accommodation includes single, twin, double, king-size and family room options. Some rooms have en-suite facilities, while others are available without an en-suite, giving solo travellers, couples and families a choice of room types. Larger rooms provide additional space for couples or family groups, while twin rooms can suit friends or relatives travelling together.

The guest house is positioned on Nunthorpe Avenue, within walking distance of the city centre, York Minster and the racecourse. Its setting works well for visitors who want access to central attractions without relying on a car for every journey. Free on-street parking is available, which adds practical value for guests arriving by road.

Rooms include free Wi-Fi, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed rather than formal. The property’s combination of personal guest-house accommodation, locally sourced breakfast and varied room arrangements makes it suitable for short breaks, sightseeing visits, racecourse trips and family stays. The guest house also provides a straightforward base for visitors who prefer a residential setting close to central attractions.
