We stayed here as it offered one night bookings and was close to York centre. We couldn’t have been happier, the room was small (what do you expect for £65) but was clean and tidy and perfectly fine for our needs. We were attending a wedding so didn’t need to spend too long in the room, if you are staying... More

The pub is an old style pub clearly popular with the locals with a great atmosphere. T/he rooms were clean and a good size with usual tea coffee and hot choc. The food was really nice (Lamb shank mmmmm) Stayed here for a few night while working away and was a really nice place to go back to after a... More

I have to agree with another reviewer who complains of being ignored and kept waiting. Myself and my Mother (aged 80) visited the pub at 6pm on Sun 11th Sept, we had tickets for a performance at the nearby Barbican theatre commencing 7.30pm. The pub was not busy and we ordered a Sunday roast and a Pie dish (both of... More

Although The Masons Arms is clearly, primarily, a pub, the few rooms available to stay in are very well presented and well thought out. Our stay was clean, comfortable and homely as well as surprisingly quiet! The room had all the usual amenities that you would expect from a hotel (towels, tea and coffee making facilities, TV etc.) and after... More

We couldn't help but return the second night, after our first outstanding meal. NOTE: I heard the server say that they had just changed ownership (which is why the debit/credit card was not available...cash only) so I think any previous comments about rude owners can probably be disregarded now. Outstanding meals, great value and well prepared. Some really great veggie... More

I stayed here with my boyfriend for one night on a trip to York at the end of July. First and foremost, it's in a great location and has a car park which they gate off at night time so it's very secure. The car park does get quite full though so it's probably best to arrive during a quiet... More

I have enjoyed many meals at the Masons over the years, I must confess ususally on a Sunday lunchtime for the roast dinner, on this occassion I was rather disappointed at the scarcity of meat on both of our plates and at almost £10 a dinner ,plus £6 for 2 drinks, I would probably consider going elsewhere in future. When... More

Have you ever been to a bar and thought "I'm being ignored here", and waited as people who arrived after you get served first? Well, the owner of The Masons Arms has this arrogant and unacceptable practice down to a fine art. My partner and I ordered food separately to our three friends, and where right behind them in the...
