A good old english pub with a few quirks and eccentricities, friendly helpful staff and owner. Our flat had two rooms, a kitchen bathroom and lounge.

Stayed for one night, I couldn’t find fault, friendly staff, perfect room for one and to top it off the evening meal I had, was excellent. Highly recommend as a place to stay in York.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff friendly but didnt know what they were doing. Place run down, no food available in the evening and breakfast was no option, get what your given. With no dairy free option
H, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value for money

We stayed for two nights in August. The room was basic but comfortable and clean and well worth the price. The bed was comfortable and we got a good night’s sleep. The bar is well priced with a good selection of alcoholic drinks and the hotel is only a short walk from the main attractions in York . Would definitely stay again

Excellent Stay

Well worth a stop, parking onsite is a huge benefit in York. The room was very clean and tidy and ensuite was not cramped and very clean.
Simon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for an overnight stay while attending The Barbican. Car parking available too.
Darren, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great if you like to stay in a place with character, history and friendly staff, the payoff is its decor is a little dated as were the shower facilities. Value for money was goods with free parking, well positioned to walk into the City centre along the river path. We enjoyed our stay.
Warren, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and convenient

Host and staff very helpful with storing heavy luggage at entrance level. Room comfortable, and at good location in York for my needs.
