★★★★

Book from $78

Guy Fawkes was born on this spot in 1570 in the shadow of York Minster and baptised in St Michael Le Belfrey across the street. Centuries have passed, but this historical building is so well preserved you could be forgiven for thinking it happened yesterday.

Standing next to York Minster, Guy Fawkes Inn, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western was the birthplace of the notorious plotter, Guido Fawkes. The Inn offers en-suite rooms with free WiFi, flat-screen TV’s and AA Rosette Food.

Each of the thirteen rooms have been decorated individually, feature antique feature, tea/coffee making facilities and complimentary toiletries. Many of the rooms also enjoy a landmark view.

Guy Fawkes Inn, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western retains many of its original features including gas lighting, real log fires and the timber staircase. You can also dine by candlelight in the restaurant, which serves classic pub-food from locally sourced ingredients and the bar stocks a range of real ales.

The York Ghost Walk Experience leaves from York Minster each Saturday at 19:00 and both York Theatre Royal and the National Railway Museum are just a 5-minute walk away.

A guide to great places near Guy Fawkes Inn

  1. The House of the Trembling Madness

    An ancient small room full of beams, old benches, stuffed animal heads, a quirky little place with a superb range of import beers, real continental style shot through with good old Yorkshire charm.

  2. Cafe Concerto

    When you've finished reading the lyrics on the wall, we recommend the blue cheese lasagne and any of the homemade cakes on display.

  3. York Minster

    For the best views over York, climb the Minster Tower. Costs a few pounds - and you need to be in shape for the climb - but well worth it.
