Non posso valutare le camere, abbiamo solo cenato in questo locale lungo le rive del fiume. Lo staff super gentile e simpatico. La caesar salad nella norma, ricca e saziante anche se mancano i crostini di pane. La pie un poco secca e la carne secondo me andava cotta un pochino di più, le patate mosce.

Wonderful for a sunny evening with river views of York. Good at table service for drinks.

Absolutely loved staying, rooms need a little TLC but they are still really good! The bar and bistro is absolutely delicious! Looks amazing and the staff are amazing. The food is bang on, and the cocktails are so tasty. 💜 would definitely stay again!
