The Best Pubs with Rooms in York

If you want somewhere atmospheric to stay in York, one of your best choices is one of the city’s pubs with rooms. York’s pub accommodation is invariably in an historic building, and one that has played host to the famous and infamous – in one case, Guy Fawkes. As these buildings are of architectural importance, they have retained original features which give them enormous character - but don’t expect hot tubs and swimming pools. York’s best inns and pubs with rooms are usually close to the city centre and, considering their location, also provide good-value accommodation.

• Arguably York’s most central place to stay is Guy Fawkes Inn. This atmospheric inn, less than a minute from the Minster, is where the legendary trouble-maker, Guy Fawkes, was born in 1570. The 16th-century church of St Michael-le-Belfrey opposite is where he was baptised. This York pub still has a gas-lit bar and dining-room, and oozes history. Bedrooms are elegantly simple with well-worn antiques, some with four-poster beds, plus there's hearty food and a selection of real ales.
• Tucked just inside Bootham Bar, and also less than a minute’s walk from the Minster, The Fat Badger is a narrow, warren of rooms inside two Georgian buildings. All twelve rooms are individually designed and offer unique city views. Plus there's a restaurant serving dishes  with locally sourced ingredients and a lovely beer garden.
