Galtres Lodge

Call Website

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.

Hot chocolate is definitely year round drink at Forest, but at this time of year it's practically an essential!

We do have a standard way of serving it, but sometimes we get a little carried away with the marshmallows! 👀

If you’re new here, our hot chocolate is made with real chocolate melted into hot milk, with a choice of milk or white chocolate, plus cream and marshmallows if you fancy! 🍫

With less than a month to go until York Christmas Market opens, here are two quick reminders if you’re planning a visit! 🎄

📅 The market is closed on Tuesdays, but there’s still plenty of other festive things to see and do around York.

🍽️ If you’re planning on dining with us at Forest during your stay, especially at weekends, we highly recommend booking a table ahead of time.

We look forward to welcoming you to York this Christmas! 🤎

Cosy rooms, a central location and all of York right on your doorstep. 🤎

We've put a lot of thought into making Forest somewhere you can settle in and feel comfortable, whether you're joining us for a quick bite, a leisurely lunch or dinner with friends.

Cosy corners, plenty of greenery and good food and drink. What more could you want?

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to leave us a review. We really do appreciate it!

Things we see on the way to work...

Yesterday, we had a front-row seat to the traditional Legal Procession as it made its way to York Minster for the North Eastern Circuit’s Annual Legal Service, marking the start of the legal year.

Mounted police, medieval-style guards and a whole lot of history, all right at the end of our road. Just another day in York! 🤎

There's nothing like a sunny morning at Galtres Lodge ☀️

Autumn is a great time to visit York, and whether it's a clear sky or a bit grey, there's always a warm, cosy room waiting after a day exploring the city.

This is one of our rooms overlooking Low Petergate, right in the heart of it all.

Thinking about an autumn trip to York? We’d love to have you stay. 🍁

We do like a good martini at Forest. 🍸

Whether it's a classic like an Espresso Martini, a signature like our Orchard Apple Sour, or the all-time original, if it's in a martini glass, you know it's going to be good.
