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.

The summer is slowly making way for autumn, but we’re not sad about it! 🍂

There’s always something happening in York and September and October are no exception.

We’ve got two events we’re particularly looking forward to being part of:

🍴 York Food Festival | 18–27 September
We’re joining the popular (and often sold-out!) Taste Trail, serving up a sample of our equally popular Spicy Cauliflower Buffalo Wings with wasabi & lime mayo. 🌶️

🍽️ York Restaurant Week | 5–18 October
We’ll be joining more than 100 city-centre eateries with a special offer as part of York Restaurant Week, making it easier to enjoy delicious dining without breaking the bank.

We hope you’ll join us for one, or both, and make this an autumn to remember. 🍂✨

Come for the location, stay for the tasty food and cosy vibes! 📷

Tis *soon* the season to be jolly 🎄

Bookings are starting to come in for the Christmas period, and we wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the slight change to this years York Christmas Markets.

In case you haven’t heard, this year there will be a “rest day” on a Tuesday where the markets are closed. We know that we have many many guests who visit specifically to visit the Christmas Markets so we’re doing our best to make sure that nobody arrives and ends up disappointed. We’re a proud member of Indie York though, and there are plenty of independent businesses who would love a visit on a Tuesday if you’re here :)

Good effort from our little Forest patrons. 🎨💚

Five colouring sheets completed in one day! We love seeing our younger diners getting stuck in while the grown-ups enjoy a little time around the table.

Chris has a bit of a thing for exposed beams. 🔨

Whenever he’s refurbishing one of our rooms, he’s always looking for ways to bring a little more of the building’s character back to life.

If there’s an original beam hiding behind the plaster, chances are Chris will find it.

It’s been a summer of cold drinks at Forest. 🍸

Iced coffees in the morning, cocktails in the evening… what will the last few weeks bring??

🌳 There’s still a few weeks to discover Tommy Treebark’s Wild Adventure Trail! 🐾

Pick up a leaflet from the Visitor Information Centre (now at 28 Back Swinegate, just around the corner from us), then head out on the trail and see how many of the creatures you can spot.

Record your findings and you can pick up a great free prize when you’re finished! 🎁

Some of the trail creatures are in obvious places and really easy to find, while others take a little more searching. 👀

We went on a hunt for some of the more off-the-beaten-track creatures and found this little duck hiding away! 🦆

Sometimes, simple is exactly what you fancy. 🍳

Our breakfast menu in Forest has plenty to choose from, from waffles and kippers to a classic full Yorkshire breakfast, but if poached eggs on toast are more your thing, we’re here for that too. 👌

And if you’re staying with us overnight, breakfast is included. So wake up, take your pick from the menu and let us take care of the rest.
