Bootham Gardens

Anne and Ian would like to welcome you to Bootham Gardens, a purpose built hotel type guesthouse, which is the realisation of our dream. It allows us to combine our passions for meeting people, cooking the finest foods and gardening all in the city we love. We are proud to offer a warm welcome and friendly service in a relaxing atmosphere. We were possibly the first York establishment to be awarded The Delicious Yorkshire Breakfast award. Start the day with a full Yorkshire or a speciality breakfast from Gary Rhodes, Rick Stein, Andy Worrall Thompson, Nigella Lawson, Raymond Blanc or Jamie Oliver, accompanied by preserves made by Ian. The rooms are minimalist, the decor was designed, by Dulux consultants, to provide a warm ambience. We believe in function over form and less is more. However, we have not cut costs. We have a great depth of knowledge concerning all aspects of York and are keen to share this knowledge with you. This approach seems to work as VisitBritain shows us having a 95pct occupancy rate, for 2008.
