The Tidy Take:

Tidy Guides recommends Grays Court because it feels like one of York’s proper hidden gems: historic, elegant and tucked away in one of the city’s most atmospheric corners. It’s the kind of place where a drink in the garden suddenly feels like a scene from a period drama, just with better wine and fewer awkward bonnets.
