    Super cozy stay with fab brekkie!

    The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was the highlight, we had the full English and then creamy scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Only thing was the room was a bit small, but still comfy.

    Great stay for the fam

    The staff were really friendly and even helped with our bags. Our room was cozy and clean. Breakfast was way better than some 3-star places we've stayed in. The only thing was it was a bit dark outside at night when returning to our room.

    cozy room
    delicious breakfast
    outdoor garden
    window lock issue

    The room was cozy and warm when we arrived, and the delicious breakfast was such a nice way to start our day. I loved lounging by the outdoor garden area and relaxing in the leisure room after sightseeing. Just a little heads-up, the window could use a better lock, but overall, I had a lovely experience! 😊

    Great location and friendly service

    I had a delightful stay in a clean, cozy quadruple room, and the staff made every effort to ensure we felt welcomed throughout our visit. The location was perfect for exploring the attractions of York, just a short walk away, and parking was conveniently available nearby at a reasonable rate. One area for improvement would be the shower pressure, which could use a bit more power for a better experience.

    Had an awesome time with friends! We explored the nearby racecourse and hit up some fishing spots, which was a blast. The staff were super friendly, and the rooms had more space than we anticipated. Everything was clean, and breakfast was good. a great stay!

    One downside was the shower pressure. it was just a trickle.

    Historical decor, cozy atmosphere, quaint outdoor seating

    The decor inside felt very dated, giving off an old and unkempt vibe!!! Consider refurbishing the furniture and improving the cleanliness standards!!! Wi-Fi connectivity issues should also be addressed !!!

    The Watergate Inn offered a wonderfully warm atmosphere, with clean and comfortable rooms. The location was exceptionally convenient, making it easy for me to explore the charming streets of York without any hassle.

    A bit more variety in breakfast options would help.
