Loved the history of this pub. Very clean room, comfortable bed and breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend this place if you're visiting York as close to the river walk and not that far for all the major attractions. Plus, free onsite parking which is very hard to find in York.

A nice space to use as a base for visiting York. A short walk from the city centre - and a stone's throw from a walk along the river - it's a pleasant, comfortable stay. My room was basic but comfortable and had everything I needed. It was also very quiet despite being part of a pub.

Inexpensive hotel in a great location and five minutes walk to the centre of York, having the added advantage of onsite car parking. Have stayed here twice now and will definitely be staying again. Far exceeded our expectations for what first appears to be a budget hotel.
