The Lamb and lion inn is a quaint little inn with a very relaxing feel. Its staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I visited this hotel for my husband 30th birthday in January 2012. We booked the deluxe room which was very apt for the surroundings of York. The room and bathroom were a very good size plenty room for our short stay there.The bed was very comfyand the power shower was very good. The location is fantastic. The inn is just inside ther city walls and only a two minute walk from York Minister. There is a garden to the rear which I cant wait to sit out in , in the summer with of view York Minister itself. We will definately be returning to The Lamb and Lion Inn very soon. This was a little surprise which completed our little visit to York.

stayed here on 29th December en route to London - what a fabulous wee place - great welcome at the reception which is in fact the bar !! - our cases were taken to our rooms - rooms were great - clean - well appointed - bathroom and toiletriesvery good - coffee / tea/ water / biscuits all provided - a remarkable place - we will return

Had an excellent meal here – you could certainly find cheaper places to eat, but why be disappointed, as we were with another restaurant. The lamb hot pot was absolutely delicious and don't be fooled by the size of the serving dish – it may be small, but it's jam (lamb?!) packed with meat.

The place itself is very interesting and has quirky little rooms instead of one large room and this adds to the atmosphere. However, this also makes it more difficult to find somewhere to sit and eat, although, in fairness, I don't think we found all the rooms during our visit, but we did manage to find a table.

On the downside, the barman who served us could certainly improve his manners. Asked if we needed to make a reservation, we were told in no uncertain terms that they didn't take bookings and that we should just find a free table. Two minutes later, another customer walked in and spoke to another member of the bar staff stating that she'd booked a table and was it ready ….!!!!! So, a bit more courtesy wouldn't have gone amiss.

That aside, this is a brilliant place to eat and would highly recommend it.
