Guesthouse Melton Guest House (York, United Kingdom)

Staying at this bed and breakfast is just like staying at home for many travellers. Rooms are comfortable and well cleaned. This is added to with great staff interactions which create a welcoming atmosphere.

One thing Bishops does exceptionally well according to reviews is the included breakfasts. Meals come with plenty of options and can be cooked to individual tastes and dietary needs to create a truly memorable breakfast.

Many visitors find Bishops to be well placed to explore the sights around York. A short walk will take guests into the city proper and many popular attractions, and the hotel does a great job of providing information about the area so people can make the most out of stays.

While touted as a five-star rated bed and breakfast, not every guest who stays here feels the accommodation has earned the reputation. Despite many people finding the place suits their needs, the experience is overall just okay, and doesn't live up to expectations - or the cost.

Larger sized guests will have a hard time manoeuvring in the en suite facilities. Each bathroom comes with a tub instead of a shower, which leaves very little room to comfortably move about.

Owners of the Bishops should invest in replacing the four-poster beds found in the guestrooms. These furniture pieces feel outdated and uncomfortable compared to other furnishings, and some reviewers state the squeaking noises made from the bed springs are bothersome.
