I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was right at the top of the building, beautiful, and had a very large, comfortable bed. The food was magnificent. However, there was some noise from the main road through the village. The service was top-notch with friendly and efficient staff, especially the lady serving breakfast. The location was central in Masham, providing a great base to explore the village. Dining was a perfect way to start the day, although there was an extra charge that affected the overall value for money. I did enjoy the gluten-free products. Overall, a lovely experience.
