Excellent location for the barbican (5 min walk) and only a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of York. Bathroom was a little dated but shower was hot and heating in room worked well! Main downside was one of the windows didn't shut properly so road noise was quite loud (room 7).

Once again (here 3years ago) we had an excellent stay. the Owner and his staff were excellent. Room very comfy and this time the added bonus of able to enjoy meals and fine wines and beer. The Pub/Hotel so convenient to walk into York centre.

Friendly , made very welcome , food was delicious. Room was more than adequate. A bit of a walk to city centre but I think it felt longer as it was really really cold weather , would have been a nice walk otherwise.

I think this was our third year here, staying to attend a festival at the Fulford Arms, 5 mins walk away. Its convenient, has parking, is close to everything we need. The only negative is lack of hooks or shelves in the bathroom. We brought a small camping table with us this year. The bathroom is pretty big, a shelving unit and hooks would be easy to add...

The one outstanding aspect of the breakfast had over 4 and 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in is that it was cooked to order and arrived , delivered to the table hot rather than having to self serve out of steel trays where the food had been standing under hot lamps for who knows how long and was lukewarm at best Great stuff Lighthorseman

Perfect place to stay in York! The staff is very friendly, food is amazing, veggie breakfast was one of the best I ever had! Double room we stayed at was spacious, clean and quiet. Located in a walking distance from the center.
