Fantastic 2 nights stay.
The hotel is small, clean, on the door step to where the restaurants, cathedral is.
Yhe restaurant next door where you get your breakfast is beautiful.
Both the hotel and restaurant are rustic themed. Really recommend and will be returning.

Great location
This historic hotel was really lovely. We were surprised with how spacious the room was. The location is perfect- an easy walk from the train station and right in the middle of town.
A lovely little hotel with a lot of character, in the heart of the old city, just a couple of minutes' walk from York Minster. The staff were pleasant, the room was charming, and the breakfast was delicious.

Very good staff
Staff extremely helpful. The building is very old and therefore needs a lot of attention, there appears to have been efforts to keep it in hand.

Central location
This was more Bed & Breakfast than hotel and was an ideal location for a one night stay in York. Easy to access from the Shambles area. I should have done more checking however as no car parking outside hotel and had to book at local car park 5 mins walk away. The hotel room was a small double and a little small for a couple. Would have been a perfect room for a single person. Breakfast was served downstairs in the Forest bar and was a great start to the day
