9.8/10 Exceptional! (16 reviews)

The need to have ID for every adult in the flat for "health and safety" reasons is ridiculous. The flat itself was very nice though.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (120 reviews)

Stunning hotel , quite small rooms but still very homely! We was even welcomed with a couple of mince pies! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Easy to get to the center of York. Car park is located to the rear of the hotel . Overall a lovely stay. The only reason for 4 star is because the room was a little on the small side and due to being near the restraunt part we could hear the guests going to breakfast. But having said this we would stay again. Thank you so much.

The rooms were warm, apartment is good. However, the cutlery, cups, are dirty with no dishwashing soap to wash them with. Pls do provide floor rugs for the toilet as the floor is wet after shower. The owner is very responsive .

The old Tetley Brewery signage.
The Tetley Brewery was founded by Joshua Tetley in 1822, the Tetley name represents one of Leeds’ oldest manufacturing dynasties. For over 200 years the name Tetley has always had a strong link with the city.

Consequently the brewery site has important social and industrial significance and the brewery and its people have contributed greatly to the rich history of the city.

In 1822, Joshua Tetley leased a brewery in Salem Place, Hunslet for £400. Joshua Tetley and Son was created in 1839 when Joshua made his son, Francis William a partner. Construction of a new brewery began in 1852 and by 1860 Tetley was the largest brewery in the North of England. By 1875, annual beer production had reached 171,500 barrels.

In 1931, the art deco Tetley headquarters building was erected. In 1954 Sheffield’s Gilmour Brewery was acquired, along with 500 tied houses. Tetley’s position as Leeds’ largest brewer was confirmed in April 1960 when it announced a takeover of Leeds’ Melbourne Brewery.

In 1961 Tetley merged with Ind Coope of Burton upon Trent and Ansells of Birmingham to form Allied Breweries, then the world’s largest brewing conglomerate. At its height in the 1960s, the Leeds Brewery employed a thousand people. The brewery became the world’s largest producer of cask ale during the 1980s. In 1998 Tetley was taken over by the Carlsberg Group.

The Leeds Brewery was closed in 2011, and demolished in 2012, with production contracted out by Carlsberg to breweries in Wolverhampton, Tadcaster and Hartlepool. Tetley retains its links to Leeds through sponsorship of its two main rugby teams Leeds Rhinos and Leeds Carnegie, and through The Tetley, which recently opened in November 2013, exhibiting up and coming artists.
