    The manager was unwelcoming and miserable. It was a real dampener. There was no food on Monday night. We therefore eat elsewhere every night. Plaster is peeling off the ceiling in the dining room. It is really bad and will eventually fall off. The plumbing in my friends room was poor.

    Malham is lovely. Buck Inn sits in a great location and looks the part. Generally the decor was good. Boltmaker is a great beer. The bedroom was comfortable. The boot tray is an excellent idea in the bedroom although I left my boots in the car.

    The toilet seat fell off This revealed it was unclean where it had hinged The bin in the bathroom hadn't been emptied from the previous occupant's stay The shower was luke warm The room needs a small armchair rather than all available space taken by two cupboards! (stool that was in there - bit useless) A bedside table on both sides instead would also be good rather than just the one Dinner. Slight misleading on menu. Says 'award winning' sausages. Unfortunately these were tough skinned through over cooking and gravy from packet I think. Breakfast perhaps too minimal for price of BnB. No muesli option In all cost me £99 + 37 (meal) £136 - this may be cheaper than the local going rate but to be enticing - needs to be looking at the details bit more.

    Location outstanding Met two employees - both friendly and welcoming Bed super comfortable Linen fresh and clean Relaxed Sticky toffee pudding superb!

    It’s an old building and it needs to be refurbished. The bar is a typical walkers bar, also in need of some tlc as it lacked any sort of atmosphere.

    The beds were comfortable, the sheets pristine and the towels fluffy. The dinner was excellent.

    Lack of facilities for staying customers. Nowhere to sit apart from your room. Not able to sit in restaurant till time of booking and bar very busy. No coffee available in the afternoon/evening yet available for breakfast. Limited continental options for breakfast if don’t want cooked: two cereals, no yoghurt, no jam, only two slices of bread available, only one juice so had to ask, no hash browns on the advertised breakfast when ordered, just told ‘no hash browns’. No, “sorry, we don’t have any today”. Just really poor and disappointing, especially for our visiting guests who were looking forward to their breakfast.

    Location.
