“The Gillygate Inn strikes me as a place with genuine character, centrally placed for exploring York's attractions. It seems especially suitable if you're looking for a pet-friendly base with some lively entertainment, plus the convenience of on-site parking is a definite bonus. I get the impression that its unique room designs and outdoor beer garden add a distinct charm.”
