Barbican House is a restored Victorian Villa in the Centre of York, the house was converted into a Guest House in around 1982. All original features of the House have been kept. We have recently updated our bathrooms using showers with a low step, non of our bathrooms have any additional features especially for the disabled due to the size/layout of the bathrooms.

Latest Reviews
I stayed here with my family for one night recently. We had a ground floor en-suite bedroom which was ideal for someone partly disabled. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable. The sherry in the room in addition to the usual tea and coffee was a nice little touch. Bathroom was spacious and all amenities were within reach. Breakfasts was excellent with a good choices available. There were plenty of nice pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance. Staff provided excellent services and were helpful all the time.
