One of my favourite places to visit in England is One of my favourite places to visit in England is York 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 It’s a beautiful historic city to explore on foot, with plenty of hidden gems and stunning buildings to admire 👀 But where should you stay in York? 🤔 We spent a perfect evening at @themilner which is ideally located next to the train station. This 4-star hotel is situated inside a huge Victorian-era building, with elegant and modern rooms mixed in with charming lounge areas. Our double room even had a view of York Minster in the distance! 🔔 If you’re not sure where to eat in York, the hotel’s restaurant, Peachey’s Bar & Grill, is a great option with plenty of dishes to choose from. I’d also recommend adding their buffet breakfast to your booking so you can start the day off with a full stomach before heading out into York’s old town 🍽️ Have you stayed at this hotel in York before? 🛌 • • • • • • • • • • #york #yorkengland #visityork #england #visitengland #englandtravel #kristatheexplorer #travelblogger #themilneryork #yorkhotel #traveltips #yorkcity #hotelreview
