The Watergate Inn sits right in the heart of York, one of the city's oldest hospitality venues, originally a coaching inn whose old stabling now houses quality en-suite letting rooms. There are 13 guest rooms, ranging from singles to rooms for families of five. The well-known bar serves fine ales, wines and spirits, while food comes from an authentic charcoal grill. Guests can relax in the riverside beer garden, and the hotel is within walking distance of York railway station, 0.7 miles away. The centrally located spot also puts you close to Fairfax House Museum, York Saint Mary's and the Jorvik Viking Centre, each just 0.1 miles away, making it easy to explore the city on foot.
