A good base just outside with an excuse to walk along the river into town (it not too flooded!). Called the prooerty about parking up about 1-2hrs early in their car park as had travelled quite far, and there are restrictions to parking so unclear if we were going to get a ticket for parking up early but someone responded and they ok'd and no issues. Room had really high ceilings and was nice, furnishings ok, the shower cubicle was small - so warning for anyone who isn't small or any intending on going 2-up in the shower because it's definately not an option in the room we had. Would stay again.

Loved it here! Great staff at every interaction, and our accommodation was MASSIVE for 5 people. We basically had our own apartment. Some furnishings were a bit dated, but in a charming way! Lovely place. Being above the bar meant for a great chance to socialize with people. Will recommend to everyone passing through, and will definitely be back.

Very convenient location with parking. Interesting old pub building. Pleasant staff. Heating in room weird; the room radiator was cold but the bathroom towel rail was on full 24/7! Could have done with larger mugs in the room for tea. We did not have breakfast so can't comment on that.

Our stay started of with a blocked unusable toilet. On further inspection the room was in a poor state one of our children shut the door to the bedroom to have the handle come off in his hand, bath surround was warped and broken, pull out bed was unusable as it was so hard and had lots of unknown stains on so my daughter ended up sleeping on the floor. The whole room just felt dirty and unclean wouldn't recommend to anyone, if we had not had pre-paid activities booked in York we would of gone home.
