The Fat Badger  

In the shadow of York Minster, this boutique inn sits adjoining Bootham Bar and is steps from Barley Hall. The Shambles, the National Railway Museum and the York City Walls are all an easy stroll from the city-centre location.

Twelve individually decorated guestrooms pair antique furniture with modern Smart/flat-screen TVs, electric kettles and tea/coffee making facilities. Some rooms enjoy landmark views, and the property has a terrace and a garden for relaxing between cobbled-stone walks.

Two lively bars and an on-site restaurant serve real ales from local breweries and award-winning AA Rosette modern British dishes. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry/dry cleaning services and discounted nearby parking are available; cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily (fee applies).

A conference/meeting hall is available for groups, and complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected.

Modern British pub food with AA Rosette credentials and a strong local-ales list headline the dining; cooked-to-order breakfasts are served each morning. Two bars offer a casual spot for a pint or a nightcap after exploring York.
