York
This Victorian home offers tasteful rooms that mesh fresh decor and five-star bathrooms with original features like cast-iron fireplaces. The flower- and plant-filled courtyard is a lovely place to pause for a rest after a day of sightseeing. It leads to a pair of cottage-style rooms, which are not as nice as those inside but are more private.
Minimum two-night stay at all times.
