Comfortable Bedrooms on the edge of Historic York

The Burton Stone Inn combines the character of a historic pub with a remarkably convenient location away from the busiest city-centre streets. Situated in Clifton, the pub is around a 15-minute walk from York Minster, with Bootham Bar, the medieval streets of central York and many of the city’s best-known sights all easily reached on foot. At the front of the pub stands the medieval Burton Stone itself – an ancient cross base whose cup-like hollows are thought to have been used as a barter stone during outbreaks of the plague. It gives this pub a fascinating connection to the city’s long and colourful past. Choose from 12 comfortable bedrooms ranging doubles and kings to flexible family accommodation.
