4-star hotels in York
A shortlist of 4-star stays in York, United States: cottages and larger houses with kitchens and laundry, plus one full-service inn with pools and a spa. Suits couples, families and groups who want a self-catering base near the beach.
Staying in York
York is a coastal New England town where the day is built around the shore: fishing, golf, horse back riding and long beach walks recur across the facilities of these properties, and several sit directly on Long Beach Ave with sea views. The addresses cluster on the beach side (Long Beach Ave, Long Sands, Beacon Street, Crystal Street, Walnut Street, Cottage Lane, Dewey Rd, Darcy Rd) with one property on Stage Neck Rd in York Harbor. Couples wanting a quieter, serviced stay fit the inn; families and groups of friends suit the cottages and multi-bedroom houses; business travellers have limited fit here, as the list leans to leisure self-catering.
