We booked the Orchid Room for a 5 night stay and arrived just after midday. We were greeted by Laura and shown to our room. It looked very nice and was spotlessly clean. We went into York for some sightseeing and dinner and returned mid-evening. The problems started then as we settled down to relax and watch some TV. We had travelled 260 miles / 4.5 hours from home and it had been a long day. We just could not believe the level of traffic noise from the A1036 Tadcaster Road which was just a few feet from the window. Cars, buses, coaches, trucks - it was a nightmare. We were still awake at 1.30 am. I looked out of the window and traffic was still passing quite frequently, lots of taxis at that time. As each vehicle passed the headlights sent a beam of light across the ceiling adding insult to injury. I dropped off to sleep at 2 am but was then awakened again just after 5 am by a continuous stream of vehicles. I should add that the double glazed window and the two large Velux windows were next to useless to reduce the noise from the road. I am amazed that other guests have not commented on the noise. I took videos of the passing traffic with audio and showed the owner at 8 am the following morning. We decided to leave immediately and did not have breakfast and so cannot comment on what might have been. In fairness to Burswood, it might have been a completely different story if we had been in a different room....interesting to note that we were told the owners' house is behind the guest accommodation quite a long way from the road! I cannot provide ratings for the other things. All I can say is that I cannot understand how anyone could sleep in the Orchid Room.

A word of warning....

Stayed here recently, for two nights,  absolutely  great guesthouse,  warm friendly  welcome, we stayed in the  orchid  room excellent, could not fault this guesthouse  , great full english, small fridge in the room bottle of milk awaits in the fridge nice touch,   will definitely be  back


Balloon  festival 

Stayed here for 3 nights as a mini city break. We were greeted by the owners and a member of staff who showed us to our room and talked us through everything we could need to know. Extremely helpful and friendly right away. The room and en-suite were spotless with a boutique feel. There was a welcome addition of a mini fridge with fresh milk and bottled water. Free Wi-fi,slippers and dressing gowns were supplied along with toiletries. Tea and coffee facilities which were cleaned and topped up daily as were the towels. The property is within easy walking distance from the city centre but there were also plenty of bus options if preferred. 
The breakfast was superb, fresh fruit, cereals and toast and a cooked to order selection from the menu. The variety, quality and standard of food was excellent all served & cooked  by the friendly owners. 
Lovely pub with excellent food just along the road for an evening meal. 
We definitely plan on another visit. 

 

Could not fault

Our room was excellent and had everything that we needed to make our stay very enjoyable. It was nice to see that their were a lot of condiments in our room, and the milk and bottled water that was supplied was a nice touch. Our room did get a little hot in the evening, but their was an air conditioner readily available to cool the room. Our Breakfast was superb. There was a variety of things on the menu to chose from. The guest house is very well positioned if you are interested in horse racing (like us) and has a handy walk through where you can cut across the racecourse to save time! The walk into York town took us around 25-30 minutes which was okay. There is a bus stop just outside the property so you can pop onto a bus if you don’t like walking! There is a pub just next door to the guest house. We ate there on our first night and would highly recommend anyone staying here to try the menu, as it was very good indeed. I would also recommend the fish and chip shop just outside the guest house as this was also very good. All in all a good place to stay, and I would highly recommend anyone thinking of coming to York to choose this book this guest house as you won’t be disappointed.

Guest House

Lovely guest house very comfortable. Breakfast delightful had poached eggs and they were perfect. Partner had full English and looked lovely. Fresh fruit was very welcomed. 
Everything spotlessly clean the bathroom sparkled.

Lovely

We visited the Burswood again and found it to be as perfect as always. Linna and family always go the extra mile to make sure you have a lovely stay.
Our room was the Orchid room and it was superbly presented with beautiful decor and all the little extras that make your visit pleasant. We are regular travellers to York and have not found a better B&B than the Burswood!! It is our first call when staying in York.
