Golden Fleece York – A Favorite for Families in York

Golden Fleece York offers a collection of themed rooms that draw on the building's 500-year history as one of Britain's most haunted pubs. Each room is named after a ghost, such as the Shambles room, and features antique furniture and decor that matches the building's 1503 origins. Guests can join ghost tours that start from the pub, exploring York's haunted history with guides who share local legends.

The on-site restaurant serves regional dishes, including hearty roasts with rich red wine gravy, using locally sourced ingredients. A selection of local spirits and cask ales from Brew York Brewery is available at the bar, which also offers wine and champagne. The restaurant provides a children's menu and special diet menus for guests with dietary requirements.

Live music performances and open mic nights take place in the pub, creating a lively atmosphere for guests and locals alike. Evening entertainment includes regular events that draw crowds, and the pub has a designated smoking area and outdoor terrace for socializing. The bar is open from 10am to midnight daily, offering a full drink menu throughout the day.

The hotel offers family rooms, including Standard Twin Rooms, and provides board games and puzzles for children. Kids' meals are available in the restaurant, and the central location allows families to walk to York Minster in 6 minutes. Children are welcome in the bar until 8:30pm, after which they must stay in guest rooms.

Golden Fleece York sits opposite the Shambles, a historic street of timber-framed buildings, and is 500 meters from York Minster.
