Joel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Walkergate Inn was a fab little pub with rooms to stay at. The room I stayed in was fab for the night, with a double, TV, kettle with tea & coffee. A bathroom with shower. The room was safe & secure & a 3 minute walk from the main town centre. The staff I ment on check in/out were warm & friendly. I would definitely stay there again.
Marcus, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

We chose this property for it's location, right in the old part of York, which as fantastic. The room itself was noisy, over crowded with a few broken items. The sheets didn't fit the bed properly and kept coming off in the night making it quite uncomfortable.

2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

There is really not anything positive I can say. The bed was terrible! Thin, bad quality mattress, thin lousy pillows. Noisy outside the window from the pub downstairs until after 1AM Door lock was hard to use, we almost locked ourselves in. Mold in the shower. Just don't do it! We loved the town of York, but had a miserable night in this "Hotel"
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Away with friends

I stayed here with 3 other friends and we had an amazing time nothing was too much for the staff at the Inn. Next time I would love to stay in one of the shepherds huts
CATHERINE, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fun & friendly.

Our stay was brilliant the staff were fantastic & so friendly. I was unaware that there was on site free parking so I ended up paying but other than that it was an excellent stay.
Mel, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent location. The staff in the pub were friendly and delightful. The room was clean. The double bed in room 7 needs a new mattress and a wood slate is underneath the bed and should be fixed. But overall a very pleasant stay for the one night.
Monica, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Liked the inn. The staff was wonderful. The premises could use a little updating.
J Kelly, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was very friendly and the room clean and warm. Town centre with all the shops and places to visit are very close, just a short walk.

8/10 Good

The staff here was so nice! It isn't in the most scenic part of the city, but it was safe enough and the property was fine. There is a lovely deck outside overlooking a canal. If you are looking for a good deal that is a short walk from the more historic areas, this is a good choice.
Jenny, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great price, great location friendly service. Room is small but doesnt matter for a weekend away it was clean and did the job
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A great place to stay, not luxury but comfortable in a great location. Also has character….
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very convenient location for exploring York. Surprisingly quiet considering it's above a pub. It was a bit dilapidated, but very clean. Couldn't get the TV to work, and felt awkward to ask for assistance, since there's no front desk, just the pub.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip
