Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was spotless and huge. The bed was comfy and we had a great view of the Minster, although there are currently building works taking place opposite the inn, but that can't be helped. I would note that the room doesn't have a safe, which would've been nice and also the bathroom windows feel like people can see in. Not sure if they actually can but they are not majorly frosted. We would definitely stay here again if/when we come back to York.

Fantastic stay from start to finish. Great central location and super friendly staff. The room was beautifully decorated, fantastic breakfast to set you up for the day, restaurant food was amazing and the bar/beer garden were great. Despite it being a pub, it was great to be able to still come and go no matter the time which lent itself well to me as an early bird as it meant I could go for an early morning walk. Overall a great stay and I'll definitely be back.

It was a stay for my b'day and I'd always wanted to stay here, and it was cool staying in such an old building. The bed was very comfy. The four poster room I found to be very dark, but did add to the experience. The tap on the sink was very loose and there was a hole in the wall by the toilet and some brown spots on the toilet seat which wasn't great. For the price I would've expected better.

I could not have been more centrally located. It is an old place, so floors slope and doorways are low. But after a few weeks in these parts, I know to look. Dinner was lovely; the pie superb. And I was grateful they minded my luggage after checkout since my train departure was later in the day.

If you like accommodation with a bit of history and real character about it, this is the place for you Of course the building is old and a bit rickety but that just adds to the charm. The location is perfect, right beside the Cathedral and a five minute stroll to The Shambles and other attractions. It's friendly, clean and the food is excellent. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff are great and the room I had was very cosy, perfect for a Jan cold stay, it’s got heating but they do provide an additional heater in case The pub itself is very popular - kudos to the owners but it did mean I never got a chance to grab a drink there - and also the guest wifi doesn’t really work for streaming when the pub is busy Overall as long it’s very centrally located, just 10min walk from the station - and therefore perfect for a sightseeing trip
