The 4* Fat Badger (formerly Lamb & Lion Inn)is an 18th Century English Inn combining traditional decor with modern amenities and fine dining. Situated in a small street just inside the ancient city walls the hotel is a great place from which to explore historic York.  All around the city are original gatehouses and stretches of the city walls. Just a 5 minute stroll from the hotel will bring you to York Minster, one of the largest cathedrals in Europe. The National Railway Museum is also in York and is just a 15 minute walk away. There are also plenty of small shops and cafes in the medieval cobbled streets to visit whilst touring the city, including The Shambles which still has many Elizabethan buildings. More Info

"Just what we wanted. Central, historic, friendly, real ale and well prepared food."
We asked for a quiet room and that is what we got so very pleased. It was in the attic on the second floor so no pub noise or heat from below but access was a challenge with steep and awkward stairs. The room was spacious, the bathroom adequate but small. Decor was historic in tune with the building and clean but could be much improved with a timely uplift to bathroom and roof windows.

"Great experience"
Nice, helpful staff...rooms were a bit noisy at the front due to passing drunks but we moved to the back of the hotel. Double glazing the front would help if permitted.
