Its a village pub. Vegi food was disgraceful but fine if you want a supermarket quiche warmed up and you want to pay £16 for it with re-fried chips!

Window was held open by a block of wood! Bed was very rock and roll!

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.

We stayed en route to Guisborough to break the journey up. The landlord actually called us to see if we would want food so they could prepare something before they closed. He was very attentive, friendly and helpful, from that call to the moment we checked out. Breakfast was delicious.
Rooms are spacious, clean with everything you’d need. It’s a typical coaching house. Yes - as others have said, it’s out in the sticks, so peaceful and quiet. It’s not five star luxury, but if you’re looking for homely, welcoming & inviting them I’d definitely recommend. It is off the beaten track, however, if you’re looking to explore the area it’s a perfect base for Thirsk, Ripon, Harrogate, York, Sheffield, The Yorkshire Moors and much more.

We stayed for our evening meal , I had the fish pie with veg, and my husband had the steak pie and chips, which were delicious. You have to go to the bar for your drinks. Everyone was very friendly. Happy with our room, as it was hot there was a fan to use. Bed a bit soft for us. Maybe take a torch for during the night as it was very dark! We stayed for breakfast, £10 each for full English with orange juice, tea or coffee and toast and jam. Very good value, would recommend.

Although this is a pub, please be aware that it doesn’t open till 5pm and that’s every day. Besides that it was a lovely stay. Very small and friendly village. Thank you Chris & Bev.

Great traditional country pub with wonderful food.

This is a wonderful old village pub with excellent food, great service and a larger than life Landlord.

We stayed one night here, were made very welcome and enjoyed the great choices of dishes for our evening meal before a roaring log fire. The Whitby Scampi and chips followed by traditional 'Spotted Dick and custard was served very quickly and was delicious.

The small bar was busy with locals and folk staying at the pub and it was a very friendly atmosphere. Our room was fairly small but clean,warm, with a kettle and hairdryer, TV and was en-suite. The bed was quite comfortable but the mattress could do with replacing as it was slightly dished at the centre.

Breakfast was served in the dining room and was quickly served. Nothing was too much trouble and was served by the Landlord who was a mine of information. I would heartily recommend this pub.

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.

Outstanding stay

Outstanding stay we went to North Yorkshire Saturday to Monday and the Bay Horse Inn was our base for the weekend and it didn't disappoint. Chris checked us in and was so welcoming he gave us a full run down what we needed to know for our stay. We had full English breakfasts both mornings cooked by Bev and kept us going till late afternoon all served with fresh toast, jam, marmalade and fresh coffee. The bedroom was lovely and comfortable with shower over the bath plenty of towels, shower gel and soap, tea and coffee facilities. The evening meals are all home made by Bev and the menu is superb. The whole experience was excellent, highly recommended. Keep up the good work Chris and Bev.

A truly heartwarming experience!

A very unexpectedly fabulous overnight stay. Excellent homely comfortable Inn with a very rare down to earth welcoming naturalness that’s not easy to find. Wonderful host, Chris, and Team!
My trip was got a very sad occasion but this overnight stay was transformative in its uplifting tangent!

It was exactly what it said it was. As long as you appreciate it isnt claiming to be a 5 star hotel for the price everything was clean & tidy. Host was excellent. Food was excellent. Room functional, clean & tidy. Central heating worked fine. Great location, very quiet.

Quiet country inn with great food

5 o'clock check in was my only gripe, but thems the rules. The dinner was excellent and would have fed 4. Lovely lamb shank and my wife's chicken kebabs were very large and tasty.
The large breakfast will keep anyone filled until dinner. Good beers at decent prices.
Only pub in town, so a favourite with the locals.

Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at the Bay Horse Inn. We enjoyed meeting folks over drafts in the inn's bar, and then had a wonderful meal of Yorkshire steak pie with vegetables and chips. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, too! And parking is easy in the car park behind the inn. The inn is more than 300 years old but very well kept with lots of interesting details. The innkeeper is warm and friendly as are his staff. And his knowledge of the area helped us to have a great time in the Yorkshire Dales the next day!

Great pub!!

Great welcome from Chris. Good atmosphere in the bar. There is a restaurant part but we had our meal in the bar by preference. Well cooked and served meals, real ale and Irish coffee. Comfortable room and good bathroom. Breakfast was fab. -my husband said it was one of the best he had ever had, altogether we had a good stay and would recommend the Bay Horse.
