The breakfast was outstanding, made to order and served in the pub downstairs. The room was quiet and well-equipped, with lots of charm and comfortable space. I felt safe staying there as a solo traveller, and it is easy walking distance into the old town.

Attractively set in York, Masons Arms features air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar. This 4-star inn offers a range of water sports facilities and room service. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.5 km from York Railway station.

We had a lovely one night stay. Check-in was easy, staff friendly. Plenty of staff working hard. Staff were pleasant and made us feel welcome. We didn't eat in the pub because we had an evening meal booked already, and the masons arms were not open for breakfast. The food that we saw all looked lovely. The pub was really busy and a lot of people were eating. Probably need to book on a weekend. The place is opposite a wetherspoons so we went there for breakfast in the morning. The place is in a good location, walking distance to everything, but taxis are easy to get if you can't walk far. The rooms are small but have everything you need and more in them. There is a kettle, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, hot chocolate, and biscuits provided. Shampoo, conditioner, and shower get provided. Also and iron and ironing board. We didn't spend any time in our room. It was just for sleeping and showering and one night, and it was great. It was a cold day on arrival, and the heating was on in our room and bathroom, so it was nice and warm. The room was very clean, and it even had a little fridge too, as well as a flat screen tv on the wall. We didn't watch it as we didn't get a chance.

Due to the nature of the premises, although we do try our absoloute best to maintain our guests comfort, a level of noise is to be expected due to the Guest Accommodation being located above a popular Public Bar and situated on a main road.We do endeavour to keep this reasonable and limit opening hours etc but the historic character of the Inn does mean it is not completely sound proof. We do politely ask guests to be mindful of this before booking with us.

Amazing old house, great character. Big room and bathroom, all is very clean. Parking at the back of the house. Super friendly owner, great bar at the ground floor of the hotel with excellent selction of drinks.

    Fantastic pub/Inn. Traditional old style pub with log burner, exposed brick and beams- wonderful. Fantastic host in Holly, so friendly and welcoming and the room was clean and comfortable. We had an afternoon meal there which was fantastic and all freshly cooked. Same with the breakfast, cooked to order and it was faultless. We both said we'd happily come again.

    A very pleasant stay indeed, located in a quiet area, fairly close to amenities on a lovely road with nice cafes a short stroll away and a good pub called Winning Post handily located across the road which was perfect for ale and food, the guest house was not too far away from the bustling centre of York either. There are good bus connections with stops close by should anyone not fancy the 15 minutes walk. The room was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable too. 🙂

    The aesthetic of the Inn is beautifully rustic, the food is first class, the ales are abundant, the rooms are named after each of the conspirators, and you can even buy the signature Guy Fawkes pint glasses as a souvenir of your stay. It's simple, elegant, and really leans into its history, leaving me grinning at every reference to the Gunpowder Plot decorating the Inn. It's one of the best places I've ever stayed.
