Property was excellent value for money, a short walk outside York city centre. Room was more than adequate, clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was full English with possibly the largest piece of black pudding I've seen. The bar is well stocked and we ate there on our first night, food was good and reasonably priced. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Light Horseman and it will be top of our list for our next stop in the city.

Loved the history of this pub. Very clean room, comfortable bed and breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend this place if you're visiting York as close to the river walk and not that far for all the major attractions. Plus, free onsite parking which is very hard to find in York.

Stayed 2 nights, everything you need, clean well stocked rooms. Landlord Dan explained everything & was happy to answer any questions. Short walk into York Centre either straight up the road or via the Canal 10-15 min stroll. As noted everything you need clean & well prepared rooms & good selection of beers in the bar with sky sports to watch the football. For me & the wife perfect stay.

We were welcomed with a very friendly greeting. Check in was simple,quick and we opted for breakfast for the 2 mornings. All staff were very friendly. Breakfast was amazing on both mornings, choice of cereal, fruit juice, fresh fruit and yoghurt. Full cooked English breakfast which was cooked to order so came out piping hot. Again the cook ( didn’t get her name) was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. Would highly recommend and we will return. Thank you all.

Good budget hotel to stay in York with free parking. Staff were great and really helpful. Only downside of the room was the single glaze windows. The hotel is on quite a busy road so if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs or get a room at the back of the hotel.

Inexpensive hotel in a great location and five minutes walk to the centre of York, having the added advantage of onsite car parking. Have stayed here twice now and will definitely be staying again. Far exceeded our expectations for what first appears to be a budget hotel.

The room was very adequate and clean. The staff were lovely, Daniel looked after us very well. Breakfast was incredible. I had to ask for a smaller one. We were just near enough to walk into the main part. We would book there again

Un soggiorno semplicemente meraviglioso. Dal momento in cui si entra si respira storia, calore e autenticità: un luogo davvero speciale. La struttura è dotata di un fantastico pub interno, con un’ottima selezione di birre, e di una sala biliardo perfetta per rilassarsi e trascorrere piacevolmente il tempo libero. Un valore aggiunto che rende il soggiorno ancora più unico. La colazione è stata eccezionale, preparata al momento direttamente dal proprietario: uova incredibili, talmente buone che… le sogno ancora la notte! Si percepisce tutta la cura e l’attenzione per gli ospiti. Il proprietario è una persona straordinaria, gentile e premurosa. Essendo il periodo natalizio, ci ha fatto una graditissima sorpresa con un upgrade della camera, assegnandoci una sistemazione con cucina. Un gesto davvero attento, considerando che il giorno di Natale molti locali sono chiusi: ci siamo sentiti accolti e coccolati. La posizione è perfetta: a pochi minuti a piedi dal centro di York, raggiungibile con una piacevole passeggiata, ideale per iniziare il giro turistico senza stress. York è una città meravigliosa e questo alloggio ha reso il nostro soggiorno ancora più indimenticabile. Torneremmo senza esitazione e lo consigliamo a chiunque voglia vivere un’esperienza autentica, calorosa e ricca di atmosfera
