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.

The room we had was in the annex across the courtyard at the back of the hotel and this suited us very well. The room itself was huge and full of character with original beams. Dinner in the evening was delicious, as was breakfast the following morning and our dog was made to feel very welcome. All the staff were lovely and looked after us very well.

The main drawback to Masham, is there are plenty of places, in a 40 mile radius that are a lot better. Leyburn , Grassington, pateley bridge, pickering Thornton dale and many others we have stayed at.

Masham is a lovely little town with a market square, several pubs and a couple of cafes. Oh, and a brilliant fish and chip shop
We fancied The Kings Head to eat on the Friday night but it was fully booked, annoying but a good sign! So we ate at our accommodation The Bay Horse and it was very good, steak and ale pie, and venison casserole with mash.
Our Bay Horse bedroom (Swale) was quite quirkily furnished, definitely not in the standard Travelodge type mould. Lovely comfy bed and view out onto the town.

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.
What a wonderful place to stay. Room was large and bed comfy , staff cant do enough for you spa is free to use and no need to book, pool was great also able to get a drink brought to you whilst in the spa a really nice touch. Food in the Hotel was beautiful and reasonable for a 5 star hotel , breakfast expensive at £35 per person not worth it. Food in the on site bar/restaurant was also very good and not expensive given the location. Grounds fantastic we walked over 6 miles through them all it was amazing
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.
