Historic Grade II listed pub hotel on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park
Amenities
The Bay Horse, Masham occupies a Grade II listed building with original beams and uneven floors that reflect its centuries of use. A dedicated catering team prepares meals from locally sourced produce, with a menu that includes vegetarian and vegan options. The hotel operates a 'Yarden' Courtyard for outdoor relaxation and offers a dog-friendly pub area.
Rooms
Rooms are named after local rivers such as Swale and Yore, and the large double rooms include a sofa and a sitting area. Guest rooms feature large comfortable beds with plenty of pillows and a spacious layout with characterful features like sloping floors. The Yore room provides a dedicated lounge area separate from the sleeping space, and some rooms look directly onto the Masham Town Hall.
Dining
The Bay Horse's chef prepares steak pies with hand-cut chips, sticky toffee pudding, and a full English breakfast made from locally sourced produce. Breakfast options include a continental selection with fruit, cheeses, breads, croissants, and a cooked breakfast available upon request. The kitchen accommodates special dietary requests, including gluten-free bread that is toasted on a grill rather than a toaster to avoid cross-contamination.
Location
The hotel sits on Silver Street in central Masham, a few minutes' walk from Theakston and Black Sheep breweries. The property is 11 km from Lightwater Valley Theme Park and 25 km from Ripley Castle. The Yorkshire Dales National Park begins at the edge of Masham, providing a base for walking the Camino Ingles de Santiago from Richmond to Ripon.
Family-Friendly
Families can stay in a large double room that accommodates up to three guests with a sofa bed option. Children receive a warm welcome in the pub area, and the menu includes kids' meals prepared by the chef. The market square opposite the hotel offers free overnight parking with an honesty box, making it easy for families to explore Masham on foot.
