Who Visits Cumbria House B&B?

Since taking over in August this year we have been amazed by the many different visitors we have had stay at Cumbria House B&B. I initially thought it would be just sight seers but having been running the Guest House now with the lovely Mrs Smith for just over 4-months, we have seen many different types of visitor.

International Visitors

In August and September we saw a great deal of tourists from many parts of the world including America, Canada, Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, Holland,Spain, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Romania, Finland, Luxemburg and Holland.

UK Visitors

The UK visitors have been widespread from all corners of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.  Some come to sight see and others for special occasions like weddings, Birthdays, anniversaries, YorkRaces and for different types of work.

Why York?

Having York Hospital close by, we cater for Doctors and Nurses. Also friends and family visiting loved ones too.  With York being a University City we also cater for friends and family who come to open days, graduations or just too simply visit their hard working students.

York has many varied attractions, events and festivals, including the very popular National Railway Museum, York Races, the many different events and concerts at the Barbican Centre and Theatres or just for its Historical places of history which are many. We have had a variety of people like; a Jazz Singer, Ghost Hunters, Art Collectors, Train Drivers,Clergy and just recently medieval re-enactors! Next month we have a sports journalist staying here while he covers the UK Snooker Championships at the Barbican Centre.
