Galtres Lodge

Galtres Lodge Probably the most central hotel in York, certainly the one with most personality! Next to York Minster and all the best things to do in York!

Galtres Lodge is an independently owned hotel in the very centre of York. Small yet perfectly formed, the building was originally two Georgian townhouses, which have been combined to make this charming 12-bedroom hotel and restaurant. Step out of the doors onto the busy shopping street of Low Petergate, and turn the corner to see the magnificent York Minster, situated immediately behind the hotel.

Toby knows all the best places for a walk! 🐾

One of his favourite spots is the Museum Gardens, just a short stroll from the hotel, the different winding paths mean you never have to take the same route twice, and the pretty buildings and historic ruins make it the perfect place to excape the city and stretch your legs!.

If you're staying with us and looking to explore York on foot, take a tip from Toby and add Museum Gardens to your list. 🐾 🐿️

If we get a minute to walk the walls, the nearest section to us is between Bootham Bar and Monk Bar. 👣🏛️

York was built as a major military base for Roman legions controlling northern Britain, and the city’s medieval walls still follow the same footprint as the original Roman stone walls surrounding the fortress.

Archaeologists have uncovered Roman baths, roads, temples, coins, mosaics, and even the remains of Roman soldiers beneath the city.

These “Gateway to Roman Fortress” signs mark the exact spots where the gates of Eboracum (the Roman name for York) once stood nearly 2,000 years ago.

Our cosy twin room filled with morning light, overlooking one of York’s historic cobbled streets.

When decorating, Chris & Rebecca always try to hold onto the features that showcase the building’s historic character, including the beautiful fireplace, which sits at the heart of this room.
