Truly a special stay in a historic place. The garden bar was awesome.
Breakfast was excellent, hot, fresh and a good value.
All was good.

Great place to stay! Wonderful traditional English Breakfast. Had some good deals for dinner.
At the heart of York, within the city walls!
No air conditioning.

Lovely look for pub but needs tlc in rooms.
Great location, fantastic decor with quirky beer garden. Nice fresh cooked breakfast. Fan in room with nice toiletries and large towels. Glasses and large bottle of water provided.
Very disorganised at check in. Completed online registration with all information prior to arriving and still had to fill it all in. Queue for reception was out the door and blocking the entrance where waitress was trying to serve dinners and people were trying to get in and out of garden and restaurant. Extremely noisy, glass bottles were emptied at 4am on large truck. Followed by scaffolding being erected at 5 onwards. Then beer delivery. Lots of noise from doors slamming. Room very dusty and mould in bathroom. Needs some tlc as cracks in ceiling, broken shower holder and broken wall hangers for wardrobe. Online and door card states breakfast till 10am but was told 9:00 latest.Such a shame as have visited York before and the pictures looked so nice that’s why we booked.
