Pros:

Slightly expensive but worth every penny. You will love the feeling of the old building and whatever might come with it. The stories are great and wandering around after hours raises the hairs on your neck! We enjoyed the music until close and being able to just go to bed in the pub is a fun experience.

Cons:

Everything was fantastic

Pros:

Great location, spooky as promised. Great live music and lovely bar.

Cons:

The full English on the first day was poor, greasy and cheap ingredients. The second day the staff made us eggs and bacon on toast and that was lovely .

Spooky anniversary
Pros:

Loved the sloping room along with decor and furniture, it was like stepping back to olden times, although very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

We visited when works were ongoing for new toilets, which meant breakfast wasn't available. Will have to try again.

Golden Fleeced
Pros:

(Stayed in minster room) The bathroom was spotless. Lovely view. Food was average.Staff were all really nice.

Cons:

Step into rear bar was treacherous (an accident waiting to happen, needs clearer sign posting) Room was dusty and plants were dead. Considering price per night I feel that this should have been impeccably clean. Canopy was dusty too.

Accomodation with its own live entertainment
Pros:

The Location and the experience was great for a short stay in York. A fleeting 24 hrs felt fulfilled. Jack the barman was very good, he is a great host. In house entertainment proved the day wasn’t over when we got back to base.
