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.

Fabulous location, friendly staff and a lovely view over the market square from the room. Plenty of parking in the main square. Both the evening meal and the breakfast were delicious.
An exclusive 42-bedroom luxury castle hotel. With 4 Red Stars and 3 Rosettes awarded by the AA for excellent facilities, this is the highest rated hotel in Yorkshire.

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.

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 !!
It's a lovely hotel nicely furnished we stayed in the converted outbuildings. Good size room, big bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. Very comfortable.
The breakfast was good with a buffet style to help yourself to juice, cereal and muffins, toast etc, then the lovely breakfast team know as Mandy an Kay will take your order for your hot breakfast, along with tea and coffee always served with smile great start to the day.
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.
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!!
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.
This hotel is an absolute dream! felt like royalty staying here. it has a deer park and a walking path that takes you through the property. Food is wonderful too. Highly recommend
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.
Masham is a lovely village with good history and good pubs etc.
Where the lodge is located, whilst being very close to the brewery it was lovely and quiet.
