Very friendly host and staff. Room good for what we paid. Pub has some wonderful period features including the bar itself. Breakfast was one of the best full English we have ever had. Only had the one night as a stop off but it did the trick.

A little noise from the bar area
A reasonable stay. Room was clean and tidy, dated in some ways but freshly decorated in other ways. Noise from the bar below and other guests could be a bit annoying.

Lovely Inn in York for short stay
Good location. Accomodation was about a 10min walk into the centre. Our room was at front of the Inn on a main road, at night you could hear some traffic. Parking available which was a bonus. Room was basic, but clean, fine for a short stay. Windows old, but the Inn is old, so expected, but could do with an external clean. Bed was a double, comfortable. Bar area was nice. We paid for breakfast during our stay, it was lovely. Inn was actually bigger than we thought it would be. There was also an external seated garden area, a games room with pool table and darts. All in all had a lovely stay.

York Visit
Hotel was a 10 minute walk away from town. The pub itself looked to be a sports bar. We didn't hear alot of noise from the pub itself. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The shower was either really hot or really cold so ended up having a bath instead but I could of been using it incorrectly. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely staff here again when visiting York again.
