The inn is in the historic heart of the city. The medieval walls are a five-minute stroll, the station 10 minutes and most main attractions within 15 minutes - while the street itself is one of the city's popular shopping venues.
By car: the inn is 45 minutes from Leeds, 1 hour 40 minutes from Manchester and over 4 hours from London. Paid parking available nearby.
By train: London Kings Cross to York takes around 2 hours, after which, the hotel is 20 minutes by taxi. Book trains to York.
Step from the street into a small bar and snug that oozes a Dickensian atmosphere. Anyone who likes a good old-fashioned inn with a darkly romantic character will love staying here.
As it's primarily an inn, there are few extras. Guests are offered a free guided tour of the city, plus discounted car parking. The pub also runs regular live gigs, if you're interested.

This is modern British pub food and deserving its one-AA-rosette accolade. The dining-room is wonderfully atmospheric and if you don't mind eating early, the set menus (shortened forms of the à la carte) are excellent value.
The restaurant: AA Rosette, traditional British dishes and pub classics. Open Mon-Sat for lunch and dinner, Sun for lunch.
