What a lovely place, parked car in allocated space, upon entering Ousebank House we were pleasantly surprised by how great it was, clean, beautifully decorated, exceptionally comfortable in all areas, everything you need to self cater if you want, plenty of places to eat locally just a few minutes walk away, little further walk into York many many more. Gill had been and put some Christmas decorations up which were lovely.Will most definitely return, one of my favourite places so far.

We were delighted with Ousebank House. It's a lovely cosy house close to the city centre, with the bonus of a parking space. We were a bit worried when we realised the area was flooded and roads were closed, but there are new flood gates, so apart from having to make a detour to get there everything was fine. We hope we'll have an opportunity to return.
