B&B in York and Windsor, UK
I have been searching this site for a reasonably priced B&B in York and Windsor (between US$100-150)for my family of three adults and not having much luck. We would like it to be within walking distance of the town center. If anyone has suggestions or a good link where I can do a search, I would be grateful. Thank you.

byr, try www.thisisyork.com. We stayed at a guesthouse just outside one of the main gates. I will look through my information because I had a very useful site for booking our stay which I would like to pass on to you. We used it for travel to the Lake District and York, Deborah

oooo, it feels so good when you find what you are looking for 
I used www.smoothhound.co.uk to book our B&B's. Very pleased with their listings.
In York we stayed at Ascot House at 30 East Parade. We were there in 2002; we paid 156 GBP for 3 nights, I'm not positve on the length of stay because I can't find my journal. Ascot House had a good location. It was more like an Inn than a B&B. Less interaction with owners, etc. Hope this helps you. Deborah

the trouble is Ascot House doesn't have any triples - and the family room is only for 2 adults and a child. If you manage to book the cheapest double and cheapest single there, you will fit just w/i your budget.
$100 is only about £20 per person per night so you definitely need to look at the high end of your range. You'll likely be able to find something in York for £85 -£90 triple but in Windsor it may be difficult.

Deborah, You are a gem fro providing me the link to the wonderful B&B site for York. I saw many places that sounded just perfect for what I am looking for.
Janisj, Yes, it may be worth booking 1 single and 1 double at Ascot house. I have an email to them inquiring. Thanks for the suggestion.
Love you both!!

byr, that's what friends are for We were very comfy at Ascot House, just don't expect a "warm and fuzzy" visit. It was more impersonal than other stays we had in Scotland and England. I cannot fault our accommodations at all and the location is good for walking into York. It is a couple of block as I recall, one time we did it in a downpour where the streets were flooded. That's something you don't forget.
Hopefully, you can find something that fits your budget through smoothhound. Have a great trip. Deborah
