Fabulous location, parking on sight, short walk to York Minster and the city centre. Excellent choice of wines and beers. Cooked breakfast was very good. Stayed in a deluxe double room, large room, very comfy bed with hairdryer, iron and kettle etc. All staff were very helpful and pleasant. Will return.

Great accommodation for the price in York! Parking included is a bonus. Felt welcome the moment we walked in. Room was great and surprisingly spacious. Freshly cooked breakfast offered in the morning. We will be back!

The room was a really nice size. Clean and tidy with a comfy bed and the shower was very good. There was a kettle and a TV. We were in one of the outside rooms and it was very quiet even though there was a beer garden. The pub itself was very nice and all the staff were really welcoming and friendly. There was some refurbishment being done on the exterior of the property but this was not intrusive at all as we were out all day exploring

The good: Absolutely wonderful staff, they couldn't have made us feel more welcome Great location - less than 5 mind walk to the minster and a tesco express almost opposite which was open until 11pm each night Comfy bed Parking included The pub underneath was noisy during open mic but it stopped bang on the dot of 11pm so it didn't bother us The chef kindly did us a couple of breakfast baps in silver foil on the day we had an early start, which was super kind of them. The less good: Our room (2) had an adjoining door to another room and the sound proofing is non existant - we could literally hear the other guests snoring at night! Emergency green light on the ceiling drove me mad but we covered it up The macerator made a bit of a din every time we flushed the toilet Breakfast time was between 9-9.30 which we felt was a bit tight window but it was accompanied by the offer of an earlier or later time upon request No mustard!

Great location and price. Staff were all welcoming and friendly. The room was like a furnace and it did take me a moment or two to figure how to turn the heating down.

We were in one of the rooms in a converted building at the back of the pub. And it was lovely. Beautifully decorated, comfy bed, lovely shower room. It was delightful. Staff were really helpful, and breakfast was fabulous. We will certainly return.
