Just called for food. Yorkshire pudding wrap with beef was absolutely superb thanks. Not sure the thyme on the chips worked. Sad we couldn’t tip waitress on card machine and we had no cash. But very impressed with food.

We took my mum for lunch here on a very wet day with 3 dogs in tow. They let us choose a table tucked out of the way in their cosy, beautifully presented bar room.
The service was friendly and efficient and all our food was fresh and delicious.
I would definitely eat here again.

Good location and food. Warm, welcoming staff. Comfy beds, but bathrooms looking a little tired. Road quite loud if a light sleeper but earplugs are provided!

Red Lion Inn & Motel.
Stayed one night at the end of a golf weekend away.
Very friendly staff.
Brilliant food. The best food we had on the whole of our trip. Evening meal and breakfast were both great value very tasty and well presented. Can not fault the food or bar.
The room was comfortable clean and well presented, maybe just a little dated in decor, but things like this don't bother me. The shower was OK, nice and hot, just lacking a little bit of power. Bed was comfy with clean sheets. Pillow was lacking just a bit for me, but that's personal taste.
It is located near a road, so noise may be an issue for some people.
Overall, it was great value, and I would stay again without question.

I stayed here for 2 nights and it was awesome! The rooms were very reasonably priced and included breakfast. It was a much better deal than anything else in York. The place was just cozy and comfortable.
The food was also great. I had the scotch eggs as a starter and they were amazing. Then I had a flat iron steak, which was also 10/10.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The landlord, Will, was super friendly and all the other staff were great. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in York.

An American style motel attached to a pub a few miles outside of York. Nothing fancy but comfortable. Customisable breakfast which can end up being rather large. Rooms facing main road, so can be noisy. Park and Ride locations nearby making it easy to enter York. Far cheaper than looking and paying for parking. Closest has limited time table.
Nearby activities: The whole of York.

Called in on spec yesterday for a meal on our way home from a day out. Lovely friendly greeting and told to choose a table that may have a later booking. Each chose a steak from the menu and settled back to enjoy a decent glass of beer - Landlord and Black Sheep. Steaks were cooked ti perfection and delicious. We were back on the road just before the booked customers were due! Will definitely add to our list of possible en route venues 😊

Great service from the owner, he was very chatty and happy. Had a good burger and wedges, plus a beer, good value for money. It was a shame about the tradeys that were in at the same time, who had parked their vans in the disabled spot and were throwing stuff around the car park.

The food was amazing. The staff were really friendly and very helpful. We stayed over and had breakfast included. They let us in earlier as we had work earlier, so went out of their way to accommodate us

Amazing carvery. A lovely selection of veg and meats. It was delicious and omg the Yorkshire pudding were to die for. It was myself and the little one and we actually finished all our meal which can be more than said for most places we have ever tried. There was a lovely selection of desserts however I couldn’t possibly fit one in, the child however demolished a lemon cheese cake with ice cream that looked lovely. The staff were really helpful and friendly from the moment we walked in even tho it was so busy and they didn’t really have the time to talk never mind be friendly and fuss the the little one. Nothing was too much for them. It’s a beautiful looking pub and very welcoming. Will 100% be back again to try the pizza night that I think is coming on a Wednesday (don’t quote me tho). I think booking is key for this place as it’s so popular and I’m not surprised as to why. Well done to all the staff your a credit to your boss! See you real soon to try the normal menu.
