Standing in the shadow of York Minster, this ancient inn was the birthplace of the notorious plotter intent on blowing up the Houses of Parliament on 5 November 1605. Today the inn is the finest in the city and one of the best-preserved in the country. With gas lighting, timber floors, roaring log fires, huge settles, ales served from barrels behind the bar and a grandfather clock ticking in the corner, this dark and mysterious inn is a treasure. It is also home to the world-famous Guy Fawkes Ghost Walk. There are beautiful hotel bedrooms and the stunning Belfry Suite. Free parking is available in the centre of York; reserve your car parking permit when making your reservation.
