Arnot House
Arnot House is the sort of welcoming B&B where host Kim greets you with homemade biscuits and a decanter of sherry in your beautifully appointed room, cooks breakfast to order each morning with fresh-baked scones appearing as a daily surprise, and sends you off into York, just a quiet ten-minute stroll away, feeling rather as though you've been staying with a particularly accomplished and attentive relative.
