Over all very good. High marks for hospitality, cleanliness and value. Decor showing wear, thread bare carpets, door hardware, light fixtures etc. does not detract from the charm. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely room at the light man horse! Lovely walks to the river only 5 minutes away! Stunning views and easily accessible to shopping & restaurants! Would highly recommend!
Stayed for 1 night in a single room. Good location for city centre, and walkable from train station. Shower cubicle on the small side but room clean and comfortable.
Very nice I could not get a drink there I like vodka and bottled coke or Diet Coke but they only had draft coke and I don’t like it.I thought the breakfast was a bit steep it was 12.50 per person each day.But apart from that it was very nice .
Parking was easy in the car park, the accommodation was comfortable and Lucy was welcoming.
Unfortunately, during our stay the chef was on holidays so we couldn’t eat downstairs, however we were recommended to walk 5 mins down the road to the Mason’s Arms pub, which was a wonderful quintessential English pub…
Also, it was perfectly located for our walk to The Shambles and cathedral in the rain!
The highlight for us was the staff in the pub downstairs. Checking in, and walking me to the room, and friendly pub staff made us really enjoy this place. The street outside was a little rambunctious but that wasn’t the fault of the hotel just some young people living across the road.

The room was clean. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was perfect. The breakfast was good. The only downside was traffic noise in the morning.
Polite staff but run down appearance. Mattress dirty when inspecting it. Tired furniture with broken bedside table on one side and top of other was dirty. Old curtains which were heavy to shut and didn’t close properly.
Staff were lovely but needs a good updating on interior and exterior

Great place for a short city break. Easy walk or short bus ride to city centre taking advantage of free parking. Room a little tired but spacious. Breakfast was excellent with good quality local ingredients. We visit York regularly and will definitely stay here again.
