The Bay Horse Country Inn

We stayed here over the Easter weekend as we were guests at a nearby wedding. We were made to feel very welcome. We made use of the bar, which served good beer. The evening meal was also very good. The room we had was typical of an old country, Inn, and very adequate and cosy. The breakfast was excellent. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Always a welcome on our return to this gem in the countryside. Chris & Bev run a traditional inn that fills all the needs for the mature traveller. Old fashioned courtesies & respect for guests is always in evidence. Locals make us feel welcome & it is like returning to a former comfortable home. It is old like me but full of charm & has a food menu that has something for everyone. Well kept beers & ample car parking. Thank you once again - see you both later in the year.

Had a weekend trip, we stayed here a couple of years ago & we are pleased to say it is still a great pub to stay at. The landlord was fantastic as was the food & drink. The rooms were clean & well equipped for a weekend break. The Bay Horse is well located for the A1, Thirsk & Ripon. Well worth a visit.

We spent a weekend here with friends, we were warmly greeted by Chris and shown to our rooms which were well equipped, clean and warm. We spent two evenings in the friendly bar and thoroughly enjoyed the food served for evening meal. Our breakfasts were also excellent. We cannot praise Chris and his staff enough.

A little bit out the way (in the sticks) but very pleasantly surprised. Rooms are a good size, staff is so friendly and owners were fabulous. Would highly recommend staying here ... you can either drive into thirsk or ripon or coats £15 in taxis ... overall very good and really happy with our stay xx

We had a lovely warm welcome from the second we entered the Inn and when we came down from our room for a drink and an evening meal we were so well looked after despite there being a large group at the pub who were also eating. The steak pie and lamb and mint pie were INCREDIBLE! And my husband said the John Smiths was a ‘beautiful pint’. Our room was very comfortable… old fashioned, in a good way, but with the luxury of a large tv. In true old fashioned inn style, the carpets throughout the Inn are very busy, and there are quite a few small flights of steps throughout and so some steps can be hard to see… something to bear in mind for anyone not too steady on their feet. This morning we had the same warm welcome when we went down for breakfast. Lovely hot tasty breakfast and large pot of tea. We felt at home from the minute we arrived at the Bay Horse and will be returning.

Stopped here to break journey to Scotland. Lovely welcome and good breakfast accommodating my Gluten free.

The proprietor was very helpful at check in. The room was very comfortable with tea coffee making facilities The restaurant had a great menu. Food was fantastic. Breakfast must not be missed. Excellent stay. Will definitely stay again if in the area.

We were looking for a relaxing place to stay while visiting my mother in a care home and we really hit the jackpot with The Bay Horse. A wonderful country pub with the warmest of welcome, wonderful food and a relaxing a**osphere. We will be returning.
