Decent room, decent location. Mould in the corner by the bed, over the window (windows are old so expected) and shower. Pub was quite loud until about 10 but wasn’t too bad.

This is a property with a few rooms above a busy tavern. Our room was equipped with a tub but no shower. The facilities were definitely not luxury by any means, but the location was a excellent and the staff warm and friendly.

Lovely and lively tavern

A lovely tavern with good music and a cheerful atmosphere. The room was a good size and nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and the breakfast delicious. We've been to York a few times to stay over and this is now our favorite. Will definitely be back!
