The Nosh & Nod - Avon Terrace  

In the heart of York on Avon Terrace, a compact mini-hotel sits steps from the York Visitor Center and Peace Park. Walk a few minutes to the York Motor Museum, York Courthouse Complex, Penny Farthing Sweets and the Gwambygine Pool Conservation Reserve — all within easy reach.

Just four individually decorated guestrooms keep things personal and punchy. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with microwaves, refrigerators, DVD players and flat-screen TVs. Most rooms open onto a private furnished balcony or patio with terrace and garden views, and bathrooms include designer toiletries and hairdryers.

Soak in either the indoor or outdoor pool, unwind at the on-site spa center, or fire up the barbecue in the communal area. There’s a terrace and garden to lounge in, plus laundry and ironing facilities for longer stays. Expect simple comforts and convenient extras that keep travel smooth.

Express check-in and express check-out make tight schedules easier. Free self-parking is available onsite, and laundry services help when trips run long.

An on-site restaurant focuses on local flavors, and mornings are made for coffee with a city view from your window or balcony. In-room coffee and tea makers are also provided for a low-key start to the day.
