      Potential for Improvement

      Visited with family for a Sunday lunch. The staff were friendly, but the food quality fell short, with cold plates and limited portions. Try the breakfast menu instead, which looks promising. It’s a charming spot, but be prepared for possible inconsistencies in service and meal prep.

      An Unforgettable Stay!

      From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was impeccable. Enjoyed a delightful full English breakfast daily. it truly set the tone for the day! The carvery was a highlight—tender meats and flavorful sides. Pro tip, Don't miss the cozy resident-only beer garden for a peaceful evening.

      comfortable rooms
      friendly service

      i had an enjoyable stay at the red lion! the room was spacious with a large, comfy bed and great tea/coffee facilities. the pub served tasty food quickly, and i loved the lovely garden area outside. rachel was exceptional, really making us feel welcome. it's super convenient with a park & ride just across the road.

      the only downside was the noisy extractor fans, but overall i can recommend.

      regional ales
      cozy vibes
      outdoor dining
      breakfast variety
      firm mattress

      York's food scene is a treasure trove! The Red Lion's bar area is a spot for regional ales and hearty fare, truly bringing the local flavors to life. Plus, the outdoor dining is a peach when the sun's out! Not to mention, the cozy vibes make it perfect for a winding down after exploring the city.

      Now, let's not pretend it was all rosy. The breakfast spread needed a kick, but honestly, the soul of this pub makes up for it all! A firm mattress also made me wish for a softer sleep, but these little nips didn’t spoil the whole fun.

      comfortable bed
      large room
      limited bar selection
      poor breakfast quality
      noisy from traffic

      The room was expansive with a comfortable bed and nice bathroom amenities, making for a relaxing space after exploring the area. The bar, however, was disappointing with only one ale available and an atmosphere that felt underwhelming. Breakfast was a letdown. the 'full English' was lackluster at best, served hastily and lacking freshness, which could be improved significantly to enhance the overall experience.

      This place suits me perfectly, offering free wi-fi in rooms, a cozy bar/lounge area, and a lovely outdoor dining area. The staff once helped me with currency exchange advice, and Rachel. I can't wait to return for Xmas!

      homemade soup
      full english breakfast
      spacious room
      dated interior

      Had a great time at this charming place! The homemade tomato soup and sausage bread roll were highlight meals for me. the full English breakfast was exactly what I needed in the morning. The room was spacious, but the photos made it look a tad more updated than it actually was. I'd definitely come back again!

      spacious garden
      pleasant stay
      ideal base
      limited breakfast
      lack of variety

      The stay was quite pleasant overall, particularly because it served as a nice base for exploring the attractions in York. The spacious garden was a highlight, ideal for enjoying a drink in the sun after a day of sightseeing. breakfast options could use a bit more variety. There were no major complaints, just a few areas for improvement.
