Accommodations
 
Im looking for suggestions for accommodations in York and Balleter. Medium price, walking distance to Yorkminster.

You you will first have to give us more info: "medium price" doesn't tell us anything - what is you actual budget per night? When? - time of year affects rates. How many people? What sort(s) of accommodation? B&B, hotel, rental cottage/apartment, hostel?

​​​​​​​Then we can help more.

In Ballater we stayed at: https://www.thegordonguesthouse.com/
Wonderful host and right across from the old train station where Queen Victoria used when she went down the road to her house. ;)

walking distance??? Is that 10km or 15km?

Do you need a car park? This is critical to finding accomodation in York. If you have a car you need a car park.

We are going in May 2020 -6 adults and no car.
We have a booking at the Old School House - the Gordon is not available.
Walking distance is less than 30 min walk.
Thanks for your prompts. Just looking for others experiences in that area.

I tried to look it up. There is a Old School House in Hutton le Hole which is miles away so I guess not there (strangly my father in law went to school there).

Sorry not in Booking.com so cannot advise.

>>There is a Old School House in Hutton le Hole<<

I'm pretty sure the OP means the Old School house in Ballater.

HOWEVER -- what do you plan on doing in Ballater without a car?? And how are you getting there?

For York -- you still need to give a us a budget . . . (Anything in central York will be walking distance to the Minster, either within the city walls or just outside them)

Agreed, 30 minutes is fine within the walls (probably less).
