I went on a mini break to York recently we stayed at the Crook Lodge Hotel which is just five minutes walk to the town centre. The rooms were lovely, breakfast was great and they have private off road parking which is definitely a huge bonus. Brian, the host is very nice and has loads of helpful information on where to eat and visit.
We had some amazing meals while we were in York and I always like to try something new wherever I go. On one occasion we decided to try The Lamb and Lion in High Petergate, I ordered roasted wood pigeon with caramelised carrots and layered thyme potato. It was gorgeous and definitely something I would eat again.
Hot purple figs, plums, apricots marinated in mulled wine with a clotted cream and apricot purée and homemade ginger biscuit.. gorgeous!
On the walk back to our hotel we went past a lovely shop window which had a large decoupage stag, this reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend at the Ulverston Scrap Store, she mentioned she was going to decoupage a little cow with Liberty fabric (which she has recently done and it looks fantastic).
To get to our hotel you can walk through the Museum Gardens, there are so many squirrels, my husband and I could not resist feeding them, they are so cheeky.
I also managed to find a bit of yarn bombing on my travels are well :)
