We stayed in a family room, reasonable size, clean and tidy, with kettle tea and coffee facility, smart tv in the room, we only stayed for 1 night and overall everything is fine.

Great food, great drinks, very friendly staff and lovely setting
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.
A beautiful area, lots of lovely houses,quiet and xareful drivers. Nice pub food and the postshop/ cafe was lovely, fantastic coffee and sweet treats.
The Bay Horse, wasn't available until 3pm door locked so just be aware if you arrive early.
Will definitely be back.

New toilet seat needed
Toilet seat poorly fitted almost unusable. Seat wouldn’t stay up and was too far back to sit comfortably. It had started to split apart
A great place to stay and visit around York, Knaresborough, Harrogate area.
Rooms are very accessible and have everything you need.
The cooked breakfast was amazing. A great place to stay
The rooms were really great. We had our dog and they had placed a bed and treats n our room for her which was really very nice. Food was great and pud was really cool as well. Defo stay again.
The Bay Horse Inn was exceptional value for money, the food was excellent (especially the steak and ale pie). Jon was a GREAT cook and host and if back that way would use The Bay Horse Inn again - totally recommend.

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.
