Sited just beyond Micklegate Bar, its still only a short walk to the town centre. A Victorian style pub that's easy to relax in and have a few beers. The staff were very friendly and remembered our drink orders from one night to the next. It also has a modest area out back when the weather allows. The Lightning &... More

Absolutely wonderful stay. James and Sue made our stay a very pleasurable experience, going that extra mile to make our stay for our anniversary a memorable one. A big thank you both. And not to forget the breakfast, didn't eat again that day!

While there was a mix up with our booking, this was quickly sorted out without... More

And above all, a very friendly and welcoming place to stay. Thank you James and Sue. I will try to remember to put... More

Didn't pay much for our room so wasn't expecting anything much. As it happens the room was extremely spacious and it had just been reverbished the previous year. We had a roll top bath but no shower and there was also a seperate dressing area, which was surprising. Unfortunately we only slept between the hours of 2-5 when the traffic... More

What a pleasant surprise, staying at the Bay Horse Inn was more than just a couple of days away. The hospitality was excellent, James and Sue were funny and entertaining but more than that, they were professional, efficient and courteous at all times. The room was comfortable, spacious and more than you would get in the Premier Inn over the... More
