The Racecourse Centre is located within a
few minutes drive from the centre of York, in one of the most desirable
and quiet parts of the city, overlooking the historical Knavesmire and
the Racecourse.
The modern buildings provide quality budget
accommodation for discerning student & adult groups. The Centre has been
awarded the English Tourism Council 4 Star Hostel rating.
There is plenty of space for coaches and
cars to manoeuvre and park in the grounds free of charge and coaches are
welcome to return to the Centre to park during the day having dropped
off their passengers elsewhere.
There is a large lounge (13.5 by 11 metres)
on the first floor of the main building suitable for receptions,
meetings or leisure.
The modern two-storey building is fully
centrally heated and contains 21 twin bedded rooms, each with a
washbasin and toilet en suite. The rooms can be easily converted into
four bedded rooms by unfolding the two bunk beds from the wall. Separate
shower facilities are available for every five rooms.
The single storey annexe contains single and
twin rooms, together with two large family rooms. Each room has central
heating and a washbasin. The building has separate toilet and shower
facilities.
The spacious dining room can seat up to
100 people. Cafeteria style catering
is provided, however a full table service can be provided by arrangement
at a small supplement. Our experienced staff will be happy to provide
special diets on request.
A very large sports field adjoins the
complex and an indoor swimming pool and sports centre are located within
easy walking distance of the Centre.
The Racecourse Centre is open to groups all
year round, except when it is being used by racing staff attending
York Race Meetings. |
