Overlooking the Market Square in the small town of Masham, this charming inn is set within a fine Georgian building of tremendous character, built in the second half of the 18th century.

We loved walking the extensive grounds and appreciated the size of our room. Our bathroom alone was the size of some hotel rooms. The port tasting was fun. The highlight was the owl and hawk experience, which was beyond fabulous. The place has a great and very accommodating staff.

We loved the communication and easy access to the property. Cottage and furnishings were cute and cosy. Bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch. Kitchen well equipped, toiletries and towels were provided. Bedding and bathroom very clean. It got quite chilly in the evening, but heating was available and easy to operate. Masham is a lovely little town with gorgeous surrounding countryside. It offers easy access to Ripon, Harrogate, N Yorks etc.

We were made very welcome, the room was set back from the main pub and was quiet, it was set out well with two comfortable beds and a nice ensuite. The food, both evening meal and breakfast, were well presented and delicious.

It's a quiet, pretty, historic little market town which has a small market twice per week on the big central market place. It has two famous breweries so the local ales are first class however, rather paradoxically, places to eat in the evening, especially on Mondays, are very limited, which is a shame.
There is an artisan glass works and oddly a fossil shop.
It is very near (walkable) the the luxurious and curious Swinton Estate which has hotel, spar, famous shooting school, fly fishing school, golf and more.

Stayed here while I attended an art workshop nearby. Husband came too and we arranged to stay in a dog friendly hotel,of which there are several. He went walking with the dogs while I was at said workshop.
Large central market place with plenty of parking, honesty box system. The buildings all around the town are attractive, with some age and sporting climbing roses and other herbage. A lovely feel pervades. Clearly popular with local drinkers and diners at w/e’s. Not noisy though. People very friendly.

Masham is a lovely small town/large village.
Masham is a lovely small town/large village. Great pubs with good food, a brilliant fish and chip shop. A large square in the centre with a market on Saturday. Lots of walking routes nearby. Two breweries, both with pub/eateries nearby. Although the week after our visit the Black Sheep brewery announced it was going into administration. I hope that gets sorted out and it continues to trade. Masham has the typical feel of a foot of the dales town. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quintessentially English break.

Not a large place..more a typical village with shops and pubs surrounding the cobbled square......a well attended market held on the square 2 or 3 times a week.......take away the cars and you could be back in the 18/19th century..............Don't take my word for it.......go and see it for yourself. Also not to be forgotten is Theakston Brewery open to visitors and of course available in all the pubs and most of the descerning pubs throughout the Kingdom !!
Warm and very clean on arrival.
Complimentary tea,coffee & milk in the fridge (and a Black Sheep beer which was a lovely touch).
Plenty of lovely local walks on the doorstep and near to a Co-op for essentials.
Enjoyed an evening meal at The Bay Horse-great food & service.
Very helpful host with good communication. We left something behind which Andrew very kindly posted onto us.
Look forward to returning & would definitely recommend!
Perfect accommodation for our family ! Appreciated the welcome touches on arrival ! Stunning views in peaceful location enhanced by beautiful weather . Our Grandchildren age 5 and 19 months loved the space to play safely ! Enjoyed local walks and a booking at Studfold adventure trail in nearby Lofthouse but didn’t really need to seek entertainment ! The hens and animals provided just that ! Thankyou Helen and Andrew
The host provided plenty of information and access to the key was nice and simple. It was a convenient location and had we planned ahead we would have enjoyed the nearby hotel for a meal. Internet connectivity was surprisingly good and BT TV gave us enough entertainment. The apartment was comfortable and the kitchen well provided for.
My wife and I stayed at The Bay Horse for one night, having enjoyed a previous visit in 2022. Checking in was easy. The room was spacious, clean and great value for money. The Bay Horse overlooks Masham Square so there is excellent access to the surrounding village. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.
We stayed in No. 14 which is straight out the back by the beer garden/sitting area. We thought it may be noisy later on but it wasn't. Really comfortable room, great bathroom etc. Very clean and well presented. Staff on site were excellent. Thank you Kings Head for a most enjoyable stay. We'll be back very shortly.
Cottage was beautiful and spacious. This cottage had everything you could ever need and more. Very nicely decorated and very clean Great location for Masham town centre and walking to pubs and brewery. Theaksons just thru the alley and a coop just to the side which was very convenient. We will definitely be back!!
A fabulous location near the Dales and a super team in the pub. Food was excellent (breakfast & dinner). Travellers should note that nearly everything is closed on Sunday in Masham and food is only available in a couple of places early in the week. A highly recommended destination.
We were there for 4 days. Great location in Masham, especially if you are a Black Sheep fan or want to enjoy the great food at the White Bear. Everything in the village within easy walking distance. Would definitely return. Parking right at the front door.
Stopped for 2 nights to do a tour round the Theakstons Brewery. Excellent, central location in Masham. The rooms were extremely clean, staff were very friendly and attentive. Breakfast, at an extra cost, was really good as was the evening meal we had.

The nearest town, Masham, was very nice for places to eat and drink and had some interesting shops, pubs and cafes.
There was also some stunning countryside, places of interest and historical sites within a short drive/long walk/cycle.
Beautiful Hotel,incredible rooms, warm and cosy. Stunning grounds. the breakfast was lovely but a little pricey... the spa was excellent but not nearly enough loungers and not tidied often enough after people had vacated.
Hotel is in a pub just off the main square in Masham, which has free parking, so a great location. Room was spacious with a big bed, and the wi-fi was fast throughout our stay.
Beautiful area surrounding and within the property. Nearby 9 hole golf course is equally beautiful. Rooms are spacious. Staff is friendly. Cool snooker table room.
