York, Yorkshire, England: Lovely Victorian Lodge - 20-Minute Walk From York's Center - Great Breakfast - Tiny, Cramped Parking

A very nice, old hotel developed from a row of Victorian homes about a 20-minute walk from York's old town.












We loved the place and were given a huge double room (66) adjacent to the bar with high ceilings and a large bay window. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed except for breakfast and it was much further from central York than I had realized when we booked.
Breakfast was a highlight with a menu including a full English breakfast (a single fried egg, two slices of bacon, a Cumberland sausage, a hash brown, beans, mushrooms, tomato, and toast), poached eggs on toast, porridge, cereals, yogurt, pastries (you have to ask for), and other items.

We paid just over £100 per night on Booking.com, but I later found a special on their website where we could have saved £100, a stay four nights deal for the price of three, so check the website before reserving.



The 20-minute walk to town was grueling in the rain the first night, but the weather calmed the next three days and the walk was tolerable. For the price, we could have stayed in York's historic center, so I would say that the room was overpriced.
The parking situation was a bit of a nightmare with seven narrow spots in cramped quarters behind the hotel. I made the mistake of parking the rental car head first the first night, having to back up with little room to spare when leaving the next morning. On our final night, there were no spaces available because one guest had parked at such an absurd angle that made it impossible to take the last remaining spot. Fortunately, we found the car's owner and they gracefully parked their car so we could enter that last spot. The overflow lot is not close by, so try to find a spot behind the hotel and back in to facilitate a safe and easy departure.
