Excellent location & food, charming atmosphere

AMAZING location in a historic inn, cute views from my 4th-floor room (naturally no elevator, so keep that in mind). The food and drinks were top-notch, and it's only a short walk to York Minster and the art gallery, Yorkshire Museum, Museum Gardens, etc. I will definitely stay here again!

Had such a lovely time in York and the staff at the fat badger added to the whole experience. Would highly recomend to anyone planning a visit to the city as a place to stay . The staff are polite and friendly and the morning lady who does the breakfast shifts is amazing and had us laughing she was from leeds just so she knows its her we are talking about . The rooms were very clean with clean bedding every day our only regret is we didnt stay longer
