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.

This was our second time at the property and everything was just as good as the first time. The bay horse is a perfect location for when we visit our daughter in York.
