I can recommend the Bay Horse Inn, Marygate in York for that weekend break. Rooms are clean and well appointed, the most comfortable bed we have every slept in, tea making facilities even included decaf tea! . Good breakfast , served hot and parking just around the corner. A short walk to the centre of the city and right on... More

There's a selection of cask ales. It's quiet and the surroundings are nice. I had food once, but didn't enjoy it and we weren't asked if we enjoyed it. Would go again but only for drinks. The pub is in a nice position near the river.

I stayed here with my American buddy who was over on business. In stead of staying in a sterile hotel with no ambience I wanted him to experience an old English Inn, so to me this was an ideal choice. As you would expect, it had a rustic feel to the place with plenty of character. We had absolutely no... More

I checked in here last night, i was away on business in York. I was offered a room that was excellent value for money that included free parking in the adjacent car park. Please note York is an expensive place to park and the free parking saved me £10 straight away. The room was fantastic, clean and fairly luxurious for... More

We visited the pub tonight as part of a large group. The pub is clean inside and out and the decor is really nice inside, with a good selection of beers and ciders. We didnt try any food but the menu looked fine. The pub was really let down by the senior barman/duty manager/landlord who was seriously lacking in a... More

The pub is well positioned for a riverside or parkland walk into town and the food service is quick. Our bags were carried to the first floor for us and the room had been recently decorated in coffee tones. We stayed in Suite 4 which was really quiet. Breakfast was served at 9 am which suited us as we got... More

I'm adding this review as bemused because I'm not sure if I was at the same place as the other reviewers! Initial impressions were good , reasonable greeting and shown to room which looked clean and had obviously been refurbished quite recently. Back down to the bar for lunch which was excellent - good sized portions and well presented. Short... More

lnstead of trying to park in the one way madness of York city centre why not park up at the free car park behind the Bay Horse in Marygate and enjoy a 5min walk along the river to the city? The Bay Horse is the perfect place to spend a weekend in York. Have no complaints whatsoever, great bar and... More
