The Dairy is a lovingly restored and upgraded Victorian town house, retaining its character and original features.
Originally a family home and joinery business, the property was built in 1890. It was then purchased by the Trapp family and became a town dairy, selling milk, ice cream and Yorkshire curd. The Dairy was then sold and converted into a guest house in 1978. Situated in central York, we are just 300 yards south of the medieval city walls and an easy stroll to York's many attractions and museums. Each individually styled room has a colour television, CD/cassette player, hot drink facilities, hairdryer and alarm clock. In addition, the personal touches include toiletries and information folders. Some rooms also have ceiling fans.

Fabulous room at the front of the property with a solid panelled king- size four-poster bed. The room is decorated with sumptuous fabrics and has a 2-seater antique Bergere chair to relax on after a hard day's sightseeing. From the prominent bay window, you have a lovely view down the street to the Medieval Walls.
Recently refurbished, the room has 2 single beds and double glazing.
Great room for the family, with its own private stable door entrance from the flower-filled courtyard. This room is on the ground floor and safe to leave your children in watching a film, whilst you relax outside with a refreshing drink. The courtyard is secure for children to play in and has a number of children's toys they can use.
