The Willows Bed and Breakfast  

Perched on a lake in Nether Poppleton, this bed and breakfast is within walking distance of York city centre. Nearby sights include York Minster, the York Cold War Bunker, Holgate Windmill, Homestead Park and St Giles Church — perfect for history and culture lovers.

Small and unfussy with lakeside character. The three air-conditioned rooms come with flat-screen TVs, DVD players and seating areas, plus private bathrooms with showers, hair dryers and bathrobes. Rooms also offer coffee/tea makers and irons on request, while a rooftop terrace, sun terrace and garden add outdoor charm.

Complimentary Wi-Fi and free on-site self parking make logistics simple. Take in lake views from the rooftop terrace, soak up sun on the terrace or stroll the garden — wake up to lake-breeze mornings. Limited-hours room service and guest services like ironing are available.

Complimentary wireless internet, express check-in and luggage storage keep business and transit stays hassle-free.

In-room coffee/tea makers and limited room service keep mornings easy. A short walk brings you to local pubs — The Millfield, Beefeater, Riverside Farm and Greene King Pub & Carvery — serving classic British pub fare and local ales.
