Masons Arms

This was our second stay at The Mason’s Arms, which is a beautiful old building in the heart of York with lovely rooms, excellent facilities (free car parking!), exceptional staff, and all that at a very reasonable price. The location is perfect for exploring the city and the inn’s beer garden is majestic. On top of that, the pub has a very good range of drinks and food with clearly labelled vegan, gluten-free and nut-free options. As far as we are concerned, an inn cannot get any better. The owners and staff have done an amazing job! We will definitely be back.

Fantastic location right in the centre of York with onsite free parking. Breakfast wasn't available but there was a Wetherspoons 100m across the road. Pub was lovely with plenty of old world charm, x3 hand pulled ales and the beer garden was a secret peaceful little oasis even though the pub is located on the inner ring road. We didn't eat here but the meals looked amazing. The room was located in one of the out buildings everything was lovely and modern in the room apart from all the spiders webs, dirty tiled floor and a way too firm bed. Just take care of these 3 issues and I would say the place would be totally amazing. It did have a really good powerful shower. The staff and locals were really friendly and welcoming. I would stay here again.

The host, Terry, was very welcoming and friendly, as were all his staff in the bar. The bar....let me tell you it was great. It was how bars and pubs used to be, oak beams and tables, open fireplace which was stunning, and everyone, including other visitor's and locals were really friendly. The food and the company was great. Our stay at the Masons was a memorable one. Our room was on the ground floor to the rear of the pub ,it was perfect. It more than exceeded our expectations. It was cosy, tastefully decorated, and spotless. There was plenty of tea, coffee, milk, and even hot chocolate, which I thought was such a nice touch . The beer garden was lovely, even in Oct. The river Foss runs right behind the beer garden which makes it feel like a really special place to stay. York city centre is only a ten min walk away which makes the Masons Arms a perfect place to stay. We are planning another visit to York in the summer, and we will definitely be staying here again, I can't wait to see the beer garden in bloom. Thank you Terry, Gillian, and all the staff at the Masons Arms for making us feel so welcomed.

An absolutely charming stay at the back of the pub. Free onsite parking at the rear of the pub that was locked later in the evening. The first floor room was snug, quiet and clean and the bed comfortable. The ensuite was small but great water pressure and hot water. The wifi was average. However the location is fantastic and you can check in just after midday so we were able to walk into town and visit all the attractions and then come back to the pub and have a great meal.

Great location for a Gig we were attending nearby. Host were very helpful and friendly and allowed us to park onsite so we could go for a wander prior to booking in. The car park is small but enough space and it is secured on a night. There was no breakfast option but plenty of places nearby. We didnt eat in the pub as we had other plans but the Sunday dinner looked gorgeous and worth going back for. We had room no. 1 which is a ground floor extention room opening into the car park/beer garden area with out own little bistro table outside the door. Plenty of outdoor seating. The bed was large and very comfortable. Lots of Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate and biccys to enjoy. Powerful hot shower and plenty of towels. Large cupboard for clothes or storage. Would stay again.
