It was exactly what I was looking for. Somewhere to lay my head for a couple of nights. (Motorbike riding break)

Off road parking was perfect and a bonus! Breakfast was really good. Perfectly placed in the city for a 5-10 mins walk into the city centre. Lots of bars/restaurants to choose from. The pub has sky sports which was a bonus also.

All in all, I can't complain. Would definitely stay again if I'm up that way.

The place is a pub & it’s seen better days. Arrived on a Friday & it’s a drinking place for builders still in work gear. This reflects the standard throughout - the small dining room is a thoroughfare for an outside drinking & smoking area (garden) actuallly a fenced off section of the car park if you want a description - the breakfast is good if you want a full English but no other options really. The day / evening meals - don’t bother - go out somewhere. The room we had was comfortable but basic - if you want to impress someone this is not the place.
The good thing it had a car park.
We felt the walk into York centre was a bit too far

Really good value hotel. Very clean. The room was quite big and the bathroom appeared quite recently appointed. The only setback is that the single glazed window (which is period for this property) didn’t shield much of the noise from the road, and the lovely big 4 poster bed creaked a lot. I found wearing earplugs was really useful. But that’s because I am used to silence where I live. The hotel was only about 15 mins walk from the centre of town and you can take a shortcut along the riverside walk. The hotel car park is also free ( big bonus). I would definitely stay again.

A nice space to use as a base for visiting York. A short walk from the city centre - and a stone's throw from a walk along the river - it's a pleasant, comfortable stay. My room was basic but comfortable and had everything I needed. It was also very quiet despite being part of a pub.

Property was excellent value for money, a short walk outside York city centre. Room was more than adequate, clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was full English with possibly the largest piece of black pudding I've seen. The bar is well stocked and we ate there on our first night, food was good and reasonably priced.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Light Horseman and it will be top of our list for our next stop in the city.

The room we stayed in wasn’t nice at all. The bathroom smelt like drains, the shower kept going cold, the sealant was missing and mouldy, there was a big rumbling noise every time you turned a tap on or flushed the toilet.
The rest of the room was a mess the carpet had big brown stains everywhere like something had been spilt and just left to dry. Coffee and tea stains all over the counter and you have to really slam the door to close it.
All in all it was just GRIM!

The Lighthorseman accommodation is a very handy short walk into the city.

The main road outside had almost constant traffic until late and started early, I think ear plugs being provided may be a good idea.

This feels like a pub with \"regulars\", so it has personality. The menu is fairly pub standard, but the meal I had was done well. There's a pleasant garden and the riverside is just a short walk away.

The room was a comfortable size, the radiator and bathroom towel rail were heat adjustable, everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There were a couple of minor issues; I reported on leaving and the manager said he'd address them and they'd probably have moved me if I'd raised them earlier.

The location is convenient: an easy walk into town, via streets or riverside as you prefer, but not so central as to be noisy. And parking on site, which becomes rare a couple of blocks further into town.

Breakfast is not to be missed. Cooked to order and a bargain at £12.50. The produce used is top class.
The bar and dining room are very nice. Just what you'd expect from a pub/hotel.
Staff were excellent and the rooms spotless.
The rooms are typical of an old building. Practical and very clean. The odd paint scuff but expected in this style of property.
So near the city crntre with free parking this property is an absolute bargain. Great value for money. Highly recommended

Pros: very friendly staff, comfortable room and bedding, very good for the couple of nights I spent there.
Cons: walls are very thin. First night no issue, second night was unlucky enough to have a neighbour flush their toilet at 5am, which sounded like the whole building was coming down, and other neighbours making a ruckus at 6am. Also had some silverfish in the bathroom, but those are tough to avoid in the uk.

Room was in good condition but unfortunately due to the location of the room, all you hear during the night is people walking up and down the stairs and slamming the heavy doors. Also when someone ran a tap / flushed the toilet, there was a very loud noise of water gushing through pipework. This woke us both up numerous times throughout the night and with the bathroom door only closing properly by a latch on the inside, there was no way to drown this out. Wouldn't stay again unfortunately due to not being able to have more than 3 hours sleep in total.

Excellent location for the barbican (5 min walk) and only a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of York. Bathroom was a little dated but shower was hot and heating in room worked well! Main downside was one of the windows didn't shut properly so road noise was quite loud (room 7).

Once again (here 3years ago) we had an excellent stay. the Owner and his staff were excellent. Room very comfy and this time the added bonus of able to enjoy meals and fine wines and beer. The Pub/Hotel so convenient to walk into York centre.

Friendly , made very welcome , food was delicious. Room was more than adequate. A bit of a walk to city centre but I think it felt longer as it was really really cold weather , would have been a nice walk otherwise.

I think this was our third year here, staying to attend a festival at the Fulford Arms, 5 mins walk away. Its convenient, has parking, is close to everything we need. The only negative is lack of hooks or shelves in the bathroom. We brought a small camping table with us this year. The bathroom is pretty big, a shelving unit and hooks would be easy to add...

Very friendly easy to find. Lovely room and pub about 15 min walk to the centre with parking on site made it ideal for a trip to the Christmas market. Will definitely stay again
