The Dairy Guest House is a lovingly restored and upgraded Victorian town house, retaining its character and original features, such as stained and etched glass windows, pitch pine doors and staircase, cast iron fire grates and wonderfully ornate ceiling roses and cornices. The Dairy is set around a flower-filled courtyard, with additional ground floor, cottage style rooms in the stable block that offer warmth and welcome.
The property was built in 1890. Originally it was a family home and joinery business. It was then purchased by the Trapp family and became a town dairy, selling milk, ice-cream and Yorkshire curd. The Dairy was sold and converted to provide accommodation as a Guesthouse in 1978. Situated in central York, we are just 300 yards south of the medieval city walls and an easy stroll to York's many attractions and museums.

An absolute GEM 🌟- The Dairy has to be the best guest house in York! Beautiful place, tastefully restored and decorated, warmest of welcomes from the host and the lovely lady who served our delicious breakfast. Well appointed room and en-suite, catering for your every need. We’ll be staying again on our next visit to York.

Came across this lovely guest house whilst looking on Google Maps for a place to stay for 2 nights in York. Managed to get the last available room. Mike is an excellent host, very friendly & welcoming. Mike provided a guide to York, local attractions & restaurant recommendations. The room we had was lovely, with the entrance via the courtyard. Nice comfy beds & wetroom style shower. The breakfast was excellent, both traditional & vegan options. Good selection of fruit juices & coffee etc provided. The location is a 5 minute walk to the York Wall, 6 minute walk to the river with some lovely shops
