Good place to stay to visit York as we left it too late to book Rowntree park. We like walking from sites but this was prevented as we have dogs. However, we used our motorhome to our advantage using the Rawcliff Park and ride and walking to the city along the river Ouse. All park and rides will take dogs, and the bus staff will guide you to dog friendly pubs. Unfortunately, one of our dogs will not step on to a bus. It took ages to accustom him to our motorhome, and we dare not change it or it require renewal of the process.
