A good old english pub with a few quirks and eccentricities, friendly helpful staff and owner. Our flat had two rooms, a kitchen bathroom and lounge.

Good value for money

We stayed for two nights in August. The room was basic but comfortable and clean and well worth the price. The bed was comfortable and we got a good night’s sleep. The bar is well priced with a good selection of alcoholic drinks and the hotel is only a short walk from the main attractions in York . Would definitely stay again

Ups: centered, convenient, free parking, quiet, Victorian style, walking distance from the shambles and major attractions and some other things. The cons: open until 3 pm, some weird noises from the walls, thin walls and you can hear your neighbors, the teapot was dirty. The Ibar it’s open until 11. but at the end it’s a really nice place to stay.

Great if you like to stay in a place with character, history and friendly staff, the payoff is its decor is a little dated as were the shower facilities. Value for money was goods with free parking, well positioned to walk into the City centre along the river path. We enjoyed our stay.
