“Moorgarth Guest House”
We headed to a concert at the Barbican and the location was spot on, only a five‑minute walk from the venue. The owner greeted us with enthusiasm, showing deep knowledge and friendliness. We were assigned a room on the top floor, which was large and featured a double and a single bed, plus amenities like a kettle and a hairdryer. I assumed breakfast was included in the price, as it was a guest house, but a note said it was unavailable due to circumstances—my mistake for thinking it was included. A great café called Sonny’s, two minutes away, offered an excellent breakfast, as the owner recommended. Parking was available at the front of the property, with free street parking behind, handy if we returned to York. There were plenty of bars and restaurants, all closed by a good time, offering many choices. The area was safe to walk at night and had a good vibe. Overall, the guest house worked well for a short stay with great hosts. When we arrived, the room was extremely cold and there was no information about the heating. Even after we returned from the concert, it stayed cold; it was too late to call anyone. Since we were only there for one night, we could have called the owner, who was very accommodating, but it was too late. The kettle worked, but we had to hold the button because it kept turning itself off. The shower was lovely and hot, but we had to hold the hose to keep it over us as it just faced the wall and didn’t stay in place.
