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 had our dogs with us and the surrounding areas where stunning to walk.
Visited Hackfall Woodland Trust. Walks mapped out showing different lengths, for different strengths.
Just beautiful. Clean. Quiet. We were lucky with parking.

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 !!
Lovely, tucked away, clean welcoming property, comfiest bed EVER! Lots of little extras left for guests, thank you! Very short stroll into town, easy to park up and leave the car for the weekend. Great comms with the hosts. Tip to next guests, if eating Sunday lunch, The Bruce Arms Yorkshire pudds are to die for, Kings Head's are sad soft frozen Aunt Bessie's type. Recommend the 2 brewery trips, walking along the river, and The Border House Cafe. Looking forward to staying again :)
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 Bay Horse was perfectly located in the centre of Masham. The rooms were cosy, exceptionally clean and nicely furnished and the owners couldn't have been more friendly, helpful and accommodating. The full English and vegetarian English breakfasts were both excellent and my son enjoyed the chicken curry that they kindly prepared for him after the kitchen had officially closed.
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!!
we stayed in the loft room and it was spacious and cosy. staff were very friendly and helpful. good breakfast on the whole and lovely evening meal on the last night of our stay. located on the square in Masham with lots of things to do and see nearby.
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
The hotel staff were friendly and advised that we book a table for evening meals to avoid disappointment. This was good advise as there were limited choices for eating nearby
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.
