There were various options for breakfast including different cooked options. The Full English included black pudding which is unusual these day. However, the bacon was hard probably due to being pre-cooked and warmed up or kept warm too long thus drying it out. The Restaurant food had an extensive menu with additional specials. All meals well cooked and flavourful. The room was large enough with antique furniture. The bed was a French style "Sleigh" bed which meant is was of standard size and not a King sized bed which in a superior room you would expect. However, the mattress was very comfortable. As the room overlooked the main road from Fulford into York the window was secondary glazed cutting out most of the traffic noise, but this meant that the window could not be opened making the room very warm A portable air conditioning/cooler unit was in the room but too noisy to run at night if you wanted to sleep! The facilities in the room were good although the shower unit had a sliding door which mad it a bit of a squeeze for me to get in. Anyone with a larger stomach than I have would not be able to get in to shower. The room was clean although I did notice quite a bit of dust on top of the bathroom door frame. The room was serviced every day of our stay. It is a short car drive or bus ride into York or to the York Designer Outlet and to other towns nearby like Knaresborough Harrogate or Selby. The staff were fantastic and friendly.

There was not a lot to dislike.

The location.Walking distance to centre of York although we took the bus back. Room serviced during our 2 night stay. Good linen & comfy bed. Friendly staff Breakfast We ate in the pub both evenings , busy for food . Plentiful portions , my Sea Bass was over cooked however, said pan fried on the menu but it had a very thin batter on it which was dry . Husband had Pie , then Chicken in Stilton sauce which was good . Would stay again if in the area.

Although quality furnishings the decor in the accommodation entrance & the en suite in our bedroom need attention. Ceiling in en-suite peeling , this was pointed out to us on arrival that it was being attended to ,not sure when as previous guests had commented on this awhile ago. Towel rail not hot. Day to day maintenance , hook missing on door & rusty rack . The bedroom was clean though.

Lovely property, plenty of history, well spaced carpark was a bonus. Comfortable bedroom with a lovely bathroom with powerful shower easy to turn on with lots of hot water. Impressed with all the teabags biscuits water and toiletries topped up on a daily basis. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the pub and restaurant was very busy in the evenings, we booked a table every night. Our food was fabulous, can recommend the prawn linguine, spaghetti bolognaise and the macaroni I cheese bake ,a good varied menu… all delicious. Breakfast was just as good, lots of variety.

Bedroom was very dark. Wobbly wardrobe very difficult to close not enough space between bed and wardrobe with hangers that didn’t fit. Homemade sweet potato chips not keen at all.

Easily accessible, good sized car park. Very welcoming friendly staff, nothing too much trouble.Excellent amenities, ample supplies for tea/coffee. Absolutely stunning decor, beautiful little tweaks here and there that make you want to look around more.. Room was perfect (again decorated beautifully), good in size with both a fan or extra oil heater available for use if needed.. Bed was very comfortable. Good size shower with perfect temperature hot water and it was powerful to boot. I enjoyed having the option of different heads in the shower (I’m short & not keen on an overhead) with the bonus of the shampoo/ body wash & soap being plentiful & having a calming and delicate fragrance. Very tasty, generous sized portions of food. The steak/ale pie was melt in the mouth delicious! We took a long walk around the area, lots of green spaces and interesting buildings to see.. Breakfast was lovely, we were greeted warmly, our options explained and happy to say the full English was ample with exceedingly tasty, locally supplied meats and eggs. An absolutely wonderful stay.. thanks ☺️

Nothing, was a really comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very clean. Although it was a busy pub there was no noise impact in the rooms which were above and to the side. The decor of the rooms was in keeping with 18th century period which was lovely but the bathrooms were beautifully modernised with excellent walk in showers. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Would definitely return

The pub was really popular and as the bar got busy during the evening having a few spaces in the car park for overnight guests only would have been helpful. Perhaps keeping a small section of the car park reserved for residential guests

The location is great for visiting York, a short bus ride or a few minutes in the car, it is walkable in about 30 minutes or so. Parking is free and easy. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Lovely tea tray. On a busy road but quiet at night, windows were double insulated. Only one tiny flaw was ceiling paint peeling in bathroom due to fan not working, didn’t really affect our stay but didn’t look good or clear condensation from showering . Would definitely return , good value.

food is absolutely superb generally...eating dinner in the pub lounge was not a great experience but it was ok ... it would be an easy improvement to upgrade the experience by having table cloths on the bare wooden tables ...low cost high gain i would think...but it wasnt a problem...it just lacked a restaurant feel..room was fine and accurately reflected the age of the building..but everything was there

the building necessitates you walk outside ( only 20 steps } to get into the eating area but thats minor

We liked that it was a little bit out of the main city.There is a good car park at back of the inn along with a nice garden.Our room was lovely and had all we needed even toiletries.The staff were very friendly and helpful and there was lots of choice on the menu and catered for all needs.veggies.Gluten etc and we sampled the food on both nights we were there and it was great, (do book a table as gets busy even if staying)the locals use it so says it all.The inn is on a main road and gets busy but it quitens down so you can get some sleep.There is a bus stop outside for those who wish to leave there cars behind and bus into centre a bonus.There is separate entrance to your rooms key provided so you do not need to go into bar unless you want to.There is stair case up to the rooms on first floor.The breakfast is filling and lots of choice however you start your day,we will stay again if up that way.

The staff were so warm and friendly and so attentive .I cant thank them enough..the FOOD IS TO DIE FOR. SERIOUSLY THE BEST FOOD IVE EVER EATEN. The room was just WOW, Clean, beautifully decorated,clean bedding, pure white soft towels, great en suit bathroom. Excellent relaxing shower xxx ..perfect... The outside seating area was lovely too. Beautiful, warm amazing place. Its a 40min walk into york but if you take the walk via the river down Oswall street its a beautiful stroll with wonderful scenery. Or simply catch a bus right outside.

One little thing, the bed was a little uncomfortable and a bit short for my 6ft hubby. His feet hung out the end.. which i found funny tbh But he curled up and was fine😁 so no big problem. Not worth mentioning really just letting taller people know lol. Im only 4ft 11 so i was fine, although forndcthe mattress a bit hard for me

beautiful old pub with stylish rooms. we loved our stay although the room was on the front by the main road we had a good nights sleep. loved the old style decor in keeping with the age of the property. comfortable bed great shower. tea coffee making area and plenty of milk coffee ect. food in the resturant was simply stunning would struggle to find better pub food anywhere. we ate both nights in the resturant and would highly recommend eating at the plough. saving the best for last the staff all smiling happy and nothing too much trouble. poppy who checked us in and booked us in for dinner. a bundle of effervescent charm and humour. the plough delivered on all fronts. will return again.

nothing perfection.
