We stayed two nights here as our wedding anniversary treat. We received a wonderful warm welcome on arrival, even though we were a little later than anticipated due to work commitments. We had missed last orders for food but our host offered to prepare us...something even though chef had left, which was a lovely thought but we didn't want to put her out as the bar etc was very busy! Our room was superb. I was concerned it would be cold, as building is grade 2 listed but it was toasty all night long. Amazingly comfortable bed (and pillows!), with beautiful furnishings. Cleanliness 10/10. Our host had even left us an anniversary card in our room which was a thoughtful touch. Breakfast.....oh yum. Not many people prepare eggs the way I like, but the ones our host prepared were just right. All of the breakfast was fabulous. One of the best we've had while away. Highly recommended. Evening meal the next night did not disappoint either. By far the best steak and ale pie I've had. Beautifully cooked beer battered fish was equally as tasty. All in all a special little place which we will definitely recommend and visit again in the future.More

Spent a wonderful evening and night at the Bayhorse, Masham. Excellent food and stayed over in a beautiful room. An old pub with loads of character with staff who can't do enough for you. Charlie and Zac on the bar are just so lovely as...is landlady Ann and her husband, whose name escapes me (so sorry). Already booked to go again, such a great place and great people, we felt a bit spoilt.More

It was a chilly evening outside but the Bay Horse was so cosy and welcoming especially with the real fire to keep us all warm. We enjoyed a few dark beers and a brandy but 11pm soon came around and sadly it was time to...leave.More

We've had a fabulous meal tonight to celebrate my mums birthday. Food was delicious and good size portions. Nothing was too much trouble, they went above and beyond to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves. Thank you

Excellent food. Clean and comfy room and very friendly helpful staff. Stayed 2 nights will return as plenty of lovely places to visit in area.

Called in on way to Hawes last week. Very friendly and helpful staff although our dog turned her nose up to the treats that were offered by the staff.. Super lunch. This is our go to place for lunch whenever we are in that area.

Nice and cosy pub. Wanted to try the food but didn’t open until 5pm so went somewhere else. Will be back to try the food next time we visit.

My partner and I were staying in an Air B&B in Exselby and spent the day in Masham and chose to eat at the Bay Horse. We we blown away with the food and the soup which was homemade was the best we have ever...had and we have stayed in 5 star accommodation all over the world! The ambiance was excellent and so much that we booked a room for 23rd December to return and celebrate the festive season and looking forward to more excellent food and accommodation which is assured. All the staff are so pleasant and wanting to make sure everything is alright. Have it worked in this trade for many years I know what I am talking about and believe me give the Bay Horse a try x. You won’t be disappointed.More

This was a recent 'boys' walking holiday for a couple of days staying in Masham. The Bay Horse agreed to provide the ten of us with a private room, to eat dinner and more importantly watch England vs Italy football match. The food was great....Hot, tasty and freshly cooked food. The staff were polite and friendly. Could not find fault. Thank you The Bay Horse. Well done.More

Our second time staying at the Bay Horse in the Nidd Room! Another wonderful 4 day break made even more special because of Ann! Ann is the perfect host alongside all the wonderful staff! Lovely meals on the Friday and Sunday night - highly recommend...the pate, pie & lamb! Thank you again for a perfect stay!More

Greeted and sat straight away. India our server was friendly and attentive. We visited with our dog Rosie who was given a bowl of water and offered a treat. I had chilli which was lovely and my husband had the lamb shank which he said...was one of nicest he has had. We both had a desert which were very good too. Reasonably priced good wholesome food in friendly surroundings. Should we come back to Masham we will definitely revisit the Bay HorseMore

From start to finish our stay was fantastic. We hadn’t even got through the door when Rob took our bags from us and gave us the warmest of welcomes. He took our bags upstairs and was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The room...was lovely. Huge super king bed that was very comfy. Spotlessly clean. The room we had was on the front overlooking the street below but we didn’t have any issues with noise. Ear plugs were provided if you’re a light sleeper. We ate in the bar one night. Again another genuinely warm welcome from bar manager. We both had lasagne and it was delicious and definitely homemade! A cracking pint of Black sheep finished our meal. As mentioned in other reviews, breakfast is extra but worth every penny. Ann looked after us at breakfast and the food was again delicious. Ann and Rob are doing a great job with this gem of a pub. Warm hospitality Quality beer Delicious food Great customer service. We will definitely be back !More
