The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very clean. Although it was a busy pub there was no noise impact in the rooms which were above and to the side. The decor of the rooms was in keeping with 18th century period which was lovely but the bathrooms were beautifully modernised with excellent walk in showers. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Would definitely return

The pub was really popular and as the bar got busy during the evening having a few spaces in the car park for overnight guests only would have been helpful. Perhaps keeping a small section of the car park reserved for residential guests

We liked that it was a little bit out of the main city.There is a good car park at back of the inn along with a nice garden.Our room was lovely and had all we needed even toiletries.The staff were very friendly and helpful and there was lots of choice on the menu and catered for all needs.veggies.Gluten etc and we sampled the food on both nights we were there and it was great, (do book a table as gets busy even if staying)the locals use it so says it all.The inn is on a main road and gets busy but it quitens down so you can get some sleep.There is a bus stop outside for those who wish to leave there cars behind and bus into centre a bonus.There is separate entrance to your rooms key provided so you do not need to go into bar unless you want to.There is stair case up to the rooms on first floor.The breakfast is filling and lots of choice however you start your day,we will stay again if up that way.

The staff were so warm and friendly and so attentive .I cant thank them enough..the FOOD IS TO DIE FOR. SERIOUSLY THE BEST FOOD IVE EVER EATEN. The room was just WOW, Clean, beautifully decorated,clean bedding, pure white soft towels, great en suit bathroom. Excellent relaxing shower xxx ..perfect... The outside seating area was lovely too. Beautiful, warm amazing place. Its a 40min walk into york but if you take the walk via the river down Oswall street its a beautiful stroll with wonderful scenery. Or simply catch a bus right outside.

One little thing, the bed was a little uncomfortable and a bit short for my 6ft hubby. His feet hung out the end.. which i found funny tbh But he curled up and was fine😁 so no big problem. Not worth mentioning really just letting taller people know lol. Im only 4ft 11 so i was fine, although forndcthe mattress a bit hard for me

food is absolutely superb generally...eating dinner in the pub lounge was not a great experience but it was ok ... it would be an easy improvement to upgrade the experience by having table cloths on the bare wooden tables ...low cost high gain i would think...but it wasnt a problem...it just lacked a restaurant feel..room was fine and accurately reflected the age of the building..but everything was there

the building necessitates you walk outside ( only 20 steps } to get into the eating area but thats minor

beautiful old pub with stylish rooms. we loved our stay although the room was on the front by the main road we had a good nights sleep. loved the old style decor in keeping with the age of the property. comfortable bed great shower. tea coffee making area and plenty of milk coffee ect. food in the resturant was simply stunning would struggle to find better pub food anywhere. we ate both nights in the resturant and would highly recommend eating at the plough. saving the best for last the staff all smiling happy and nothing too much trouble. poppy who checked us in and booked us in for dinner. a bundle of effervescent charm and humour. the plough delivered on all fronts. will return again.

nothing perfection.

We enjoyed a 2 night stay over august bank holiday. The hotel and rooms are beautiful decorated and the staff are nice and welcoming. The bus stop outside takes you straight into the city centre and back (even the bus drivers are helpful!). This is the perfect hotel is you want to be outside of the hustle and bustle, but close enough to travel in with ease. The breakfast of a morning was beautiful and all elements were top quality. After enjoying the breakfast so much we booked an evening meal and all 3 courses were top notch! We are already looking for the next time we can stay :)

Nothing! All fabulous

Fantastic location in a quite area outside of the city. Although on a main road it was not noisy, our front room on to the road had no problems, we slept well every night. Room was tastfully decorated and very well equipped, a maid turned the room around every morning with fresh bedding, towels, toiletries and tea/coffee etc, etc. Excellent free WiFi throughout the establishment. Pub was great, food was delicious. Worth noting that the restaurant gets very busy with bookings so even if you are a guest it is advisable that you pre-book a table. Staff were very good, booking in and out was faultless. Very good breakfast selection.

Nothing to really not like. The only minor issue we had with our room was that the shower was so hot it was almost impossible to fully immerse yourself, the control to change the temperature was not functioning. Also our basin took forever to drain away, up to 5 minutes on one occasion. Although reported nothing was done during our 3 day stay. But we managed.

Visited the plough inn for 1 night for valentine's evening. Booked the standard double room. It was a really beautiful room and a great size. The bed was so so comfy and the shower was fantastic. The little bears on the bed and little chocolates on the bed was was such a cute lovely touch. Great options of drinks in the room too. I liked also that the access to the rooms was completely separate to the pub so it made it more private you also didn't hear a peep from the pub which was really surprising considering how busy it was. Breakfast was lovely. The coffee was lovely a frothy. All the staff we met were fantastic and we would happily stay here again.

Only slight negative which isn't really a negative was in the morning there was only the cook and a waitress and bless her she was running ragged ha we was told they were fully booked (valentine's and half term). But she was super lovely and still made the effort to have a chat with us but I think one more staff would've really helped her. But definitely a 5 star stay and we will visit again next year.

The manager was so welcoming and cheerful Nothing was too much trouble. Outstanding customer service makes all the difference. Ate in restaurant in evening. The meal was amazing. Breakfast was delicious. Walked into York along the river, about 45 mins ( bus stop outside if you didn’t want to walk ) in all - I will book this hotel again next time we visit. This comes from someone who is extremely fussy, I honestly don’t have a bad word to say.

Nothing

A lovely genuine pub both for visitors and locals - a proper pub. Lovely rooms, if a bit on the small size but beautifully appointed. Minimal noise from the main road outside. A good car park at the rear. Genuinely great pub food and selection real ales. Monday nights are quiz night night and are packed with locals and students - great fun. Easy five minute drive into York. Over all a good choice over the more expensive central hotels.
