“A fabulous stay which we thoroughly enjoyed.”
+It was excellently placed for walking into the centre and around the city walls. Our room was spacious and clean and the breakfasts were first class. Real ale on the bar was one of the main attractions for me. The staff were all friendly, helpful and efficient.
−We were in the attic room and found the stairs rather steep - we are both oaps!! Also the wardrobe door would only close with a hearty slam.

“A quarky but noisy stay”
+The atmosphere and the quirky pictures and badger statues. The service was wonderful and being allowed to store my luggage hours before my room was ready, was a great thing, as I could go and enjoy York.
−Although warned that the kitchen outside extractor would be switched off at 9.30pm , the noise is constant in room 10 and wanting to open the window only made it worse. Once the noise was in my head, it took a while to switch off and even a few hours in the evening to rest after a full day was hard with that noise. The window view isn't great either.

“Lovely stay in York”
+It's in an excellent location right in the centre of town. Quaint little pub with tastefully decorated rooms. Everything provided, kettle, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Proper tea (Yorkshire) and tasty biscuits. The staff were lovely, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
−We couldn't work out how to turn the bathroom light off (the one by the shower) The bed was a tad soft for me but that's just personal preference and I still slept well. It can get a bit raucous outside at the weekend but that's to be expected in the centre of town.
