The Rose & Crown York – A Favorite for Families in York
About the Hotel
Rooms & Amenities
The Rose & Crown York offers four room types: a family room (Room 1) with a king-size bed and pull-out sofa bed, two large double rooms (Rooms 2 and 4) with king-size beds, and a small double room (Room 3) with a double bed. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms with shower-over-bath setups, free toiletries, hairdryers, flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and free Wi-Fi. Room access is available through the pub during operating hours or via a private entrance after hours. Smoking in rooms incurs a £100 fine and bans future stays.
Dining & Whisky Bar
The onsite restaurant serves British cuisine, with à la carte breakfast available. The bar stocks over 70 single malt whiskies, including selections from Scotland, Japan, Taiwan, India, and France. Local highlights include the first and second malts distilled in Yorkshire. Blended whiskies like Great King Street from Compass Box are also featured. The pub offers craft ales, world beers, fine wines, and local cask ales.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The inn is 1 km from Clifford's Tower and York's Chocolate Story, 1.5 km from the Yorkshire Museum, and minutes from Walmgate Bar and St Margaret's Church. Heworth Golf Club is nearby for outdoor activities. Leeds Bradford International Airport is 55 km away; Doncaster Sheffield Airport is the nearest alternative.
Whisky Insights
The bar educates guests on whisky production, including faster maturation in Melbourne's climate compared to Scottish or Irish methods. Unopened Scotch lasts indefinitely; once opened, store in a cool, dry place for up to five years. Blended whiskies reflect years of craftsmanship, with Scotland maturing over 20 million casks-four per resident.
Policies & Services
Group bookings for stag or hen parties are restricted. A track-and-trace QR code is available for voluntary use. Staff enforce a 'one in, one out' toilet policy during peak times. Complimentary services include Wi-Fi, self-parking, and breakfast. The pub operates with clear whisky terminology: 'whisky' for Scotch, 'whiskey' for Irish varieties.
