Situated just a 13-minute walk from The York Dungeon, the 3-star The Lighthorseman Hotel York features Wi-Fi in public areas, and street parking on site. Area attractions, including the 20-acre Rowntree Park, are located fairly close to the inn.

Location

This York hotel is about 55 km from Leeds Bradford airport and only 1.8 km from such cultural venues as the Quilt Museum and Gallery. The Clifford's Tower is in the vicinity of the Lighthorseman York, while The Winning Post bus stop is 800 metres away.

Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to York Beach, which is around 15 minutes' walk away. York Minster is a mere 1.9 km away.

Eat & Drink

Guests are invited to the onsite lounge bar to unwind with a drink. The bar area includes a lounge. Istanbul Grill, located 17 minutes' stroll from The Lighthorseman Hotel, serves Turkish cuisine to satisfy every taste.

“The Lighthorseman offers a genuine pub experience a short, pleasant walk from York's center along the river; its friendly atmosphere and proximity to attractions like the York Dungeons make it a practical base. While the decor shows its age, the hotel's unique community vibe and full English breakfast are definite advantages. I think it is a good choice for those seeking an affordable, characterful stay.”
