Beats bland chain hotels by a country mile

Lovely family run pub in very quiet location with rooms and great home made meals. Easy reach of A1M and A19. Very welcoming after long day and very sociable. Brilliant cooked breakfast and lovely to see a community pub so popular with the locals.

A real Yorkshire village pub with friendly staff and very pleasant food. Rooms were comfortable if very slightly dated but vastly preferable to the usual anonymous hotel. I would stay again.

Such a lovely and relaxing stay at the Bay Horse Inn! A beautiful location and a very comfortable night’s sleep. Friendly and informative staff were very helpful upon check-in and check-out. I only stayed one night as I was in the area for work, but would definitely return with my family to enjoy a leisure visit and exploring more of the area.

This little village pub is just that, a village pub. It is well supported by the villagers and people returning home after work were dropping in for a drink and a catch up. The food is very good and reasonably priced. It is a little old fashioned, but the beds are comfortable and the pillows squashy enough to ensure a good night’s sleep. I would stay again if in the area.

Lovely old village inn

Very friendly and welcoming. Great home cooked food both dinner and breakfast. Good size room and comfy bed. Proper old village pub. Very creaky floors! Could do with a little up-dating but a lovely place to stay.

Journey break

A quaint village inn we picked due to its proximity to A1 to break our journey from Scotland. The building is showing signs of age, but the owners have created a pleasant comfortable environment and a busy pub for locals.Breakfast and evening meal were good,

The landlord was hospitable. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was ok, but tired. The room was clean. We didn't eat there, having done so earlier in the day, but other people were complementary about the food. We would stay there again.

Excellent 2 night stay. All staff extremely friendly and welcoming. This is an old property with old property problems, features and character; that said, our room was perfect for our needs, clean and comfortable. Our host Chris was friendly and seemed as though he would go out of his way to make your stay just right. Ate in pub both nights and the home cooked food by Bev was wonderful. You order breakfast, if you want it, the night before; we had basic breakfasts which were a good price and exactly what we wanted. Locals in the pub were friendly and along with Chris and Bev chatted and recommended places to go in the bar after food. A lovely stay overall. Thank You.

A lovely quirky country pub. Good location for the North Yorkshire moors. Menu in the pub was sufficient, we had really good tasty food. Our room was fine, comfy bed, clean & good shower. There was tea & coffee making facilities, with a good supply of the same.
