The smell of bacon drifts up the stairs on a Sunday morning, and through the sash windows you can hear York Minster's bells ringing across the rooftops.

Crossways works for couples after a city-break base or walkers using York as a starting point for the Wolds or the Moors beyond. There's a camping pod if you fancy something different to the guest house rooms, though you'll want to ask ahead about what that involves kit-wise. This is proper York — cobbles and medieval walls within easy reach, good pubs on every corner, the railway museum if it's tipping it down.

Dog policy's a case of ringing first, and the same goes for campfires if you're in the pod. It's open all year, so you can do winter markets or summer river walks. Facilities aren't listed in detail, but as a guest house you'd expect the basics sorted — beds made, kettle on, somewhere to leave muddy boots.
