A warm welcome
since 1091
Built on the site of a Roman fortress and continuously occupied since the 11th century Grays Court has been home to many illustrious characters. Official residence to the Treasurers of York Minster between 1091 – 1547, post-reformations owners have included the Duke of Somerset, and Sir Thomas Fairfax. The house in named for the illustrious Gray Family who lived here between 1788 and 1945.
What a wonderful Hotel! In a world where the hospitality business has forgotten how to be hospitable, the Grays Court is a wondrous throwback to how things used to, and should, be. Delightful, friendly and professional staff, incredible food ( the tasting menu probably the best we have ever experienced) all set in the most amazing location and historic building.
Thank you all at Grays Court for a wonderful stay.
