Welcome

Once a dairy, selling milk, ice-cream and Yorkshire curd.

The Dairy Guest House is a lovingly restored and upgraded Victorian town house, retaining its character and original features — stained and etched glass windows, pitch pine doors and staircase, cast iron fire grates, and wonderfully ornate ceiling roses and cornices.

The property was built in 1890 as a family home and joinery business. It was bought by the Trapp family and became a town dairy, selling milk, ice-cream and Yorkshire curd. The Dairy was sold and converted to a guesthouse in 1978. Today it's set around a flower-filled courtyard, with additional ground floor cottage-style rooms in the old stable block.

“Great out of the center bed and breakfast. Only 10 to 15 walk from the center of York. Good sized on suite bedrooms, with all the necessary needs provide. Breakfast was great, all freshly cooked.”
