"Unforgettable central York accommodation in UK’s oldest living convent."
Overview
Discover peace, tranquillity and a home away from home in one of York's truly hidden gems. The Bar Convent has been a part of the historic city since 1686. Today, the Grade I Listed buildings provide not only guest accommodation but also a café and exhibition, both of which are open to the public. Only minutes from the rail station, and only moments from the city's famous walls, you're sure to enjoy a warm welcome.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
