This is my third stay at BH. I use it as a stop over on my return from Scotland to the south of England after an extensive motorbike tour. The rooms are spotless clean, comfortable and quiet. It is located in a small, quiet village and perfectly located to explore, especially out to Whitby and Robin Hoods bay. The staff are great! Friendly, provide a great service and will sit and have a chat at the bar. The Menu is varied and accommodates all tastes with a changing specials menu and an accompanying wine list as well as great local beers. There is ample parking from Motorbikes to motorhomes. Although I would feel comfortable leaving the Bike parked out front all night, the management provide a secure facility with peace of mind for the duration of my stay.

I keep going back so there is nothing to not like.

My Girlfriend and I went on a long weekend away and stayed at this lovely countryside Inn. As we arrived the staff were very welcoming, helpful and made us feel at home. The room was spacious, comfy and filled with all the amenities you could need, with daily checks if you needed a top up of anything. Mark was on the bar the first night and he definitely knew how to pull a cracking Timmy Taylors & Guinness accompanied by great chat. The breakfast in the morning served by Sam (The friendly giant) who catered to all our needs again with great chat. All round a great experience!

From the moment we checked in the staff were excellent, the room was immaculate,breakfast had an amazing choice, we had booked dinner for Saturday night which was both superb in both quality and quantity, it was served by attentive and jovial staff, we enjoyed it so much we had dinner on both the Sunday and Monday evening which was a first for us as we do not usually eat at where we stay. This venue was superb in all ways , thank you for a great anniversary break

Everything was as it should be

A good choice for breakfast & evening meal, we didn’t have to wait long for the food to be served, polite waiter / waitress. Restaurant area is welcoming & relaxing with music playing in the background in the mornings. Always plenty of parking spaces.

The option of an international dish would be nice on the evening menu or as a special option. All the desserts on the menu were very rich it would be nice to have a lighter option or be able to have a mini version & coffee like some other restaurants offer.

Rooms separate to pub, so nice and quiet. Good surprise. Individual decor, if a little shabby in places, my friend had a larger room so they do vary. I slept well, comfy bed and breakfast was good. The overall package price was okay. Staff were good overall, although a packed pub meant staff were distracted. Plenty of parking behind pub/house.

The car park was not lit, so hazardous at night. Easily remedied. Flaky paint in my room. Nail sticking out of carpet retainer going into bathroom.

I was overjoyed with how lovely it was. We were stuck in traffic and the girl waited up for us, until after midnight, until we finally arrived. The room was beautiful, she had put the lamps on for us getting in and left hot chocolate all ready for us to boil the kettle. Thank you so much, what a beautiful and relaxed end to an horrendous day lol And for what we paid this was 10 x better than what we expected And the wee room names and antiquities and curios were the sparkle on top 😇

Nothing, or maybe us arriving earlier and not having to leave early in the morning. I wanted to explore the place so will most likely be back

Fantastic country pub and restaurant, the positive reviews I'd read prior to booking turned out to be fully justified. Very friendly welcome, nice bar, room (Desert Orchid) was clean, very comfortable bed with separate bath, large tv and well thought out extras with the drinks facilities. Food exceptional, dinner choices aplenty and top notch, faultless cooking. Steak perfect, and liver and bacon from the Specials menu was melt in the mouth quality. Staff clearly well trained and coped very efficiently on a busy Saturday night. Breakfast lived up to expectations as well. Overall a superbly run establishment which should be proud of their efforts. Location for A1 and expansive car park also on the long list of positives. Look forward to staying again.

N/A

Characterful building in a quiet location in a very quiet village convenient for A1 travellers. Good food in restaurant. Very comfortable bed.

Bed was slightly too large for the room - one of the posts of the (sort of) four poster bed was too close to the window. You really had to squeeze by! The bed was very large (I’d say the size of 2 single beds together). A normal king size would fit the room better (and you could dispense with the rather pointless pseudo-4 poster element)

The room Decor and the Horse theme throughout the hotel. Comfortable room with good quality toiletries and at last a room with coat hooks. One of my complaints in most places...nowhere to hang your coat so extra points for that. More points for a clock... the TV's don't have one these days ! Lots of parking. Great outside seating spaces. All the staff were friendly, very good service. Quiet rural location. Food was excellent. Definitely recommend. 😁 Close to Northallerton, Catterick, Thirsk, A1 so good location for racing trips.

Had a ground floor room facing the street so would have liked a privacy blind, had to keep drawing the curtains and putting the light on.

A joy to stay here we go whenever we are passing for a break away. Food fantastic and decorated bedrooms very tastefully designed. The owner has great taste. Also if you like horse racing this is the place for you a lot of the rooms are racing inspired. Even if you don’t like racing it’s still beautiful. Staff always have a smile and so polite. One of my favourites and I stay in a lot of places and review a lots of places. So it says a lot. Owner needs to think about purchasing The White Swan at Thornton le Clay near Castle Howard . It would be perfect for them. It’s also in a big horse racing area. And so close to York or The Coast or Castle Howard. Could turn it into something very special with all the grounds it has.

Nothing we didn’t like.
