What guests think

Across reviews, The Bay Horse Inn is praised for warm, welcoming hosts, clean and comfortable rooms, hearty cooked breakfasts and well liked pub dinners, a quiet village setting convenient for York, and easy on site parking, plus dog friendly stays.

Common drawbacks are patchy in-room Wi-Fi and showers with low pressure or fluctuating temperature; a few rooms feel small. Several guests liked the traditional pub atmosphere and the separate courtyard layout behind the inn. Overall, it suits stopovers and short breaks more than luxury stays.

We were staying just one night on route to Scotland. We recieved a very warm welcome and were shown to our rooms. The rooms were quiet, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had the cooked breakfast the following morning before departing and again the staff were very attentive and the food was good. We were traveling with our two dogs and they were welcomed too. Ideal place to stay with dogs

Enjoyed a perfect stay. We were very fortunate to catch Thursday ‘fish and chip night’,which turned out to be the best fish and chips we have ever eaten in a pub restaurant. Really exceptional quality. Fresh fish in a light golden batter and perfect crispy chips with no sign of grease anywhere. Great portion of mushy peas and served with tartar sauce. We also had drinks in the bar in the evening, which was cosy with friendly locals. We had a great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. Plenty of coffee/tea facilities in the room and a modern en-suite. Breakfast was a perfectly cooked full English served with fresh orange and coffee. Would highly recommend everything about this Inn.

Great traditional, friendly pub with excellent food, has a real community feel and staff were all friendly and helpful. Fish and chips and Ruddles ale were both really good. Recommended!

I was fined for parking at the hotel. It said free parking on Hotels.com. I wasn’t asked for my registration when I checked in. I complained to the owner who said he would get it sorted. I sent him the fine which he asked me to do and he then said that’s the best you’re going to get. What a joke.

Excellent stay. I have been to many places and stayed in many hotels but this hotel has perhaps the best bed! Super clean rooms. The only reason I didnt give five stars for facilities is that they do not have a hair dryer and the water pressure of the shower wasn't great. The staff did look into it and I didnt expect it to be an immediate fix so in the bigger picture, that was a trivial problem; it doesn't take away from how brilliant the establishment is.

The place was nice and quiet, staff were lovely, breakfast was very good, bed was really comfortable, fan in the room was nice. Only a couple of slight negatives. The room was a little dusty on some of the surfaces and a couple of the walls could do with dusting too. Also there looks to be a coffee stain on the wall, and also the shower flow was weak. These things didn't take away from the enjoyment of my stay however. I had a lovely stay and i would stay here again.

I had an excellent stay at Bay Horse Inn. The owners take so much pride in their establishment. I was welcomed warmly by the owners and the local clientele. The breakfast was great too! The room was very comfortable, warm and clean. Only complaint is that the WiFi in the room was practically non-existing. I highly recommend this spot.

The stars for this venue are for the staff. Friendly and helpful. The room was clean and quiet; the bed comfortable. But, the room was too small for our liking. Perfectly acceptable for one night but could not envisage staying longer. Evening meal was fine and reasonably priced. Breakfast was OK.

We stayed here on our way up to Aviemore to break the journey. On our return we stayed here again. We knew what to expect and again we were not disappointed. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to order a late evening meal. The Bayhorse Inn is dog friendly which was important to us and our furry friends were made to feel welcome. The cooked breakfast on the Sunday morning was lovely and the lady serving us even remembered us from the previous weekend and asked how our holiday was. Weve already booked again for next year
