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.

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.

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

basic one-night stay
Accommodating of late check-in, good parking. Good central location. Bed clean.
Bathroom mouldy. Noise from other rooms/toilets very loud. No blackout curtains and broken blinds. Lots of daylight and potential for onlookers.

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.

Rated on would I stay again. The answer would be no. Room was poor and the bathroom had mould on the ceiling, tiles and the shower hose and head needed a very good clean.
