The Bay Horse Inn in Harrogate

Stumbled across this pub while staying in the area. Lovely food and friendly service. Will definitely visit again if we're in the area.

Had a lovely stay here with my Beagle Echo. We were both made to feel welcome. My room was comfortable and had everything that I needed for my stay. The pub itself was nice and cosy. It had a pleasant atmosphere. The beer was well kept. The food was very tasty too. I would stay here again.

Absolutely brilliant, everything a good pub should be. Everyone friendly and helpful, great ambiance, lovely clean room, easy parking and fascinating outdoor area. Lovely village easy reach of A1.

Really good quality, food, reasonable portion size, and in the present world good value for money. To be honest, a little bit of a hidden gem, but I would change the seating. Depending on who is on service ,can be outstanding or average . I don’t know why it’s asking me to review this as a hotel because I’ve never stayed there only eaten on many occasions.

Great country pub food looked very nice staff friendly

Nice pub, basic food, good for football (if you're a Leeds fan😅), good outside area for watching sports

Hostel located in a town 30 minutes from York. Comfortable rooms with amenities available to the client. Correct English breakfast and free parking. You have to register the car.

Great staff, clean room and a fantastic breakfast.

An early (4.30pm) evening meal and a menu of standard pub fare was surprisingly good. We both opted for lasagne, my wife the red pepper and spinach and me the beef, sharing the chips and garlic ciabatta. Service was friendly, efficient and attentive. There are tv's in the bar and adjoining rooms but they were not loud and there is a separate restaurant room if you wish to avoid them. We were quite happy to stay in the bar which had a nice atmosphere and a few locals. This is a traditional pub with no airs and graces, but all the better for that.

Rooms are immaculate, staff are all lovely, cannot recommend enough!! Many thanks to all (and we don’t leave till the morning after a 2 night stay!)

Check your car in if you use the carpark or you will get a ticket.

Enjoyed our stay, great food, plenty of screens for the footy! & dog friendly!

Great pub, good food, exceptional curries!! Curries in a pub are usually average at best but these are seriously seriously good! James behind the bar was awesome, we’ll be back

Without doubt the worse meal I have ever had while eating out. Scampi and chips. The scampi straight from a frozen packet. The peas looked and tasted like they had been re-heated at least twice, and the chips! Hand cut, apparently. My lord! Dark brown in colour, yet not crispy. Under cooked on the inside. Greasy and offensive. And almost £16 for the privilege. Hats off to whoever can produce such a disappointing meal made of such basic ingredients. Never, ever again. I would avoid it like the proverbial plague.

Stayed for one night as we were visiting the nearby vineyard. The room was very nice having been upgraded to modern standards. Staff were great and the evening meal was spot on, breakfast was just what was needed the following morning. Would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay. Cheers all

We visited this pub twice during our stay at Kirk Hammerton. We had two meals at the pub and they were both excellent. Most importantly we were made to feel welcome by the team. Brilliant 👌

The Bay Horse Inn is a great place to use as a base from which to explore York and the surrounding area. It is a stone's throw from the A1(M) and a short drive from York's Poppleton Bar park and ride. I stayed with my Mum in what I think was the family room (we booked a twin but had a double and a single bed). The room was clean and well appointed with comfortable beds, a lovely clean bathroom, and tasteful decor, including very effective black-out curtains. The cooked breakfast was superb - cooked on demand, so always hot, and with just the right quantities of everything. (I saw one review which said the portions were small - I suggest the reviewer was greedy!) We had our evening meal in the pub on two out of our four evenings. Although the menu wasn't huge, (this is a small, independent, village pub so I wouldn't expect the myriad of options found in a large chain), but had ample choice, including a variety of curries which are locally famous. Our meals were lovely with the best burger my Mum could remember having and the hand cut chips were amazing! Jon, Tina, and the team were friendly and helpful. We didn't have to ask for anything more than more tea bags and milk to use in our room but I'm sure that if we had needed anything else, they would have been happy to help. A special shout out for Sheila who served our breakfast every morning with a smile and friendly conversation. I would recommend the Bay Horse Inn to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to book again next time I plan to visit the area.

Very nice place to stay. The room was clean, and the staff was extremely friendly. I had a delicious breakfast in the morning. I had everything I needed for my short stay.

Food was amazing and staff was outstandingly helpful !!

We booked The Bay Horse the night before we stayed as a spontaneous family get away. On arrival we were greeted by the lovely land lady who showed us to our beautiful family room. The room was spacious, modern, clean and fresh! We had a very comfortable nights sleep. The pub meals were home cooked and absolutely delicious. Breakfast in the morning was cooked to order and too was absolutely delicious. The staff here are very helpful and very friendly! Nothing was too much trouble. They lady serving breakfast on Sunday morning even entertained our 3 year old and let him help hoover round the pub. We were absolutely delighted with our stay and will most definitely stay again. Thank you very much to you all.

Such a nice dog friendly pub , food was great proper pub food traditional .

My wife and I and small dog needed a place to stay the night near York. We selected the Bay Horse from a small number of places available. The bedroom is functional, good bed, tea/coffee, TV etc. They provided a doggy bed and treats. The bathroom was lovely and big with a decent shower. We ate in the pub in the evening and the food was some of the nicest pub food we have had. We both chose the chilli garlic chicken and thanks to Jon it was wonderful. The breakfast on the Sunday morning was not the biggest but did the job. All of the staff were very hospitable especially Jon & Cheryl(?) and if we are ever in that area again we will certainly look to stay there.

Loved it. Accommodation was small but very clean, warm and well appointed. Pub, food and staff were really good although menu was limited. Not bad value overall.

Marcy says this is the best pub food she’s ever had

Called in on the way to York for some food but unfortunately they weren't serving. The place was very busy for a pub that seems pretty out the way. Staff were friendly and the place had a good vibe about it. Would definitely return if the opportunity arose.

Great little place and well worth either visiting or staying. Booked a room for the weekend; staff, service, atmosphere we're excellent and the locals really welcoming. The rooms are really clean and well kept. Look forward to staying again.

Fantastic place. If you want a warm friendly welcome, an excellent room and facilities this is the place.

Never stayed at an Inn before would definitely recommend. We stayed for one night, 16-17th Oct. The staff are nice and polite. We had a double room that had been refurbished to a very good standard and quality. The bed was clean and very comfortable, the bathroom very clean and well maintained and an information pack in the room about what you can do in Yorkshire. Overall a very nice Inn, good staff, with quality room's, if you choose to stay.

Excellent hotel, lovely pub / Inn and great food. Lovely place and we will definitely be going back.

Great food service a bit rushed kept pushing to go to table but before our booked time we did go 5 mins before our time and before all our guests had arrived as they said they were busy but a lot of empty tables around even when we left

Came for barbecue night. Both chicken and steak was gorgeous. Well organised, very popular, staff were fantastic

Great place to stay. Lovely clean accommodation and friendly staff.

I went in had a pint left. No one said anything. I now have a £60 parking fine. Never going there again!

Dog friendly and very helpful and pleasant staff . Food was excellent on the Friday evening we arrived

Stayed here for a wedding along the road Really welcoming , room was immaculate Evening meal and breakfast were both really tasty Friendly staff at all times Well recommended

Great pub and accommodation. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was great with all locally sourced produce.

Lovely little pub with friendly hosts and lovely bar food. Accommodation rooms are fresh and clean all amenities available and comfy bed.

Excellent place stay, great staff

An excellent room during our two night stay, breakfast was excellent but the only negative which doesn't reflect on the owners and staff were very noisy guests above us. And on a huge positive for anyone visiting here is Sheila, the most friendly and attentive person you could ever meet.

Wowzer, what a fabulous place to stay. The rooms are beautiful, warm and spotless. The food is to die for, absolutely outstanding. The staff, Jon Tina Sheila Pauline and James all made my sons 21st birthday, perfect in every way. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely return. The locals were so welcoming and lovely. Thanks again Berni and family from Barnsley ♥️♥️♥️🍷

Gr8 meeting place for family. Super home made tasty curries and gr8 wines & beers . Dog & kid friendly & good landlord

Excellent meal, my husband had the steak & ale pie & I had the beef lasagne, both were delicious, we managed to share the jam roly poly & custard 😊 but the bonus for us was that it was dog friendly. Will definately make a return visit.

Very tasty curry, great service

Really lovely atmosphere and lovely food.

A very fine pint of Ruddles. The cellarman obviously knows his trade.

Does what it says on the tin. Well looked after by Jon, Tina and staff during our stay. Thoroughly reccomend

Proper pies! Will be back soon for more 😋

Good beer and ambience in a cosy country pub!

Nice rooms, nice cosy pub and staff very friendly. Definitely recommend for short stays.

Nice traditional pub in a small village. Lovely girl serving . Food was good ad served quickly

Lovely country village pub good food roaring fires friendly atmosphere

Great Pub, Friendly Staff, Awesome Food Well Worth A Visit

Splendid, dog friendly, village pub. Has large car park. Lovely, sunny, floral beer garden to the rear. Has additional sheltered, outdoor seating in a rear courtyard complete with outdoor TV. Great quirky furniture, cable drum tables, beer barrel seats with hessian sacks and some really innovative and different sprung cycle saddle seats. Great space!! And that's only outside, ha. Lots of little rooms within. Only had one handpulled cask beer on - Ruddles Best Bitter, a very good drop and well looked after. Met and served by the warmest, friendliest barmaid, Katie, who was all smiles and most welcoming. Good attributes and qualities that decent bar staff need, Katie had it in spades, what a great asset to a business with staff like this. Purposefully asked her her name, because I wanted to give her a shout out here. Katie, you were lovely and a very special and kind person. I had clocked up a good few miles as I had been out walking early, so decided to dine here. Great choice on menu: kid's meals, gluten free and vegetarian options. Extensive Indian menu. I had Roasted Pepper and Spinach Lasagne with hand cut chips. My oh my, large portion and absolutely spot on tasty. Really, really good food. A light not heavy lasagne. Perfect! Even had room for a pud, tut tut, quelle pig je suis, heh heh! Chose Pool Bridge Farm Shop Sticky Toffee Pudding with cream. It was totes delicious. One of the best. I shall definitely revisit this pub and wholeheartedly recommend it to you. Food, welcome, staff, everything is great. 10 stars 🌟

What a great little place. Cosy bedrooms with a wonderful cottage feel, great welcoming and friendly staff. Didnt stay the entire night as continued our journey but will definitely book again without hesitation when in the area

Amazing beers, sky sports and good food what more could you want from a local 😊

I wish I could give a zero. I ordered the beef burger without fries and it arrived in a bowl on a serviette with no dressing whatsoever. When i tried to bite into it I felt something rock hard. I attempted to cut the burger and I could not. Even bashing it with a knife was not successful! The worst excuse for a burger I've ever had the misfortune of encountering. Needless to say it was returned and not paid for.

Cracking little find. Made to feel so welcome when we stayed. Staff were so friendly and the breakfast was amazing!!

The owners of the The Bay Horse Inn were lovely and friendly. The room was spotless and the location was great. I would definitely recommend.

Had a 1 night stay room was comfortable and clean, staff and locals nice a friendly really made us feel welcome nice breakfast in the morning Would definitely stay again if in the area

Great pub, lovely atmosphere, excellent service.

Stopped off on the way home from camping in the dales for their amazing Wagyu Burger. Great beer and lovely beer garden.

Perfect for a quick bite to eat and a pint - loads of room outside and friendly staff

Just left this pub 5 minutes ago, was looking forward to the steak and ale pie that we had read good reviews on. Wish we hadn’t stopped! The pie was some very dried up meat on a tuff pastry base, the peas very dry and tasteless looked like they had been microwaved, chips looked recooked and the gravy was like water! I saw they were advertising for a cook, definitely need one. Extremely overpriced. We did mention to the barmaid it wasn’t the best, who replied with would you like the deserts menu? No thanks In reply to your response, my plate was far from empty! Please check your bins

Nice little busy pub good food very pleasant staff, rooms were satisfactory for what we required

Late booking and arrival for one night, very helpful owner, arrangements as said, comfortable, clean room, welcoming tea, coffee and biscuits, quiet location. We'll recommended

What a gem this place is...perfect in everyday and don't get me started on the piping hot scrummy breakfast

LOVELY VILLAGE PUB, GREAT SEVICE. I WAS BROUGHT UP IN THIS VILLAGE. MY MAM WORKED IN THE PUB IN THE MID 60s.

Great location very friendly staff will be back

Well priced and quality service

Lovely meal and friendly staff and locals

Popped in for a pint. Nice busy pub even for a work night. Had sports on the TV. Never had food but it looked good. Nice village pub.

Food hot & tasty service welcoming & friendly booked to go again

Really nice place. Warm and welcoming and the 'Boss' could not do enough and had a great sense of humour too. Highly recommend.

Lovely pub. Food was excellent. Very friendly staff and customers.

So welcome open fire so relaxing

Service was great, food was spot on , lovely pub, would deffo recommend

Excellent hosts warm fire what more could you want in winter

Friend had a curry (home made and totally delish so I'm told). I had steak and ale pie, again..... Would love to try other things but can't tear myself away from the pie... All with a warm, friendly atmosphere and a toasty open fire. After a long walk. It was hard to leave. Wonderful local pub.

Friendly staff and quality food.

Proper village pub, loved it. Stayed in a cottage round the corner and used this as the local watering hole. Decent selection of beer, had a wide range of food. Was slightly put off at first as its a Greene King branch but this pub kept its local ethic. Quality food made fresh, including a full curry menu! 100% will go back!

Very cosy, sit by the fire, they have a car park and beer garden

Save yourself for the breakfast!!

Fantastic pub, lovely food and a friendly welcome!

We did not stay the night but we were staying local to the pub and it was lush! Drinks are fairly expensive but it’s a cute,warm,welcoming village pub! Star were super friendly and if we ever end up in Green Hammerton we would 100% pop in!

Indian restaurant level 0f curry superb.

Friendly pub and enjoyed stay but cross at £ 15 a night for a dog so wouldn't go back .

Called in for a quick drink landlord made you most welcome lovely pub and the food coming out of the kitchen looked very nice once again a warm friendly jovial welcome from the landlord sat in the outside area for our lunch the food was very very nice will definitely call again if out that way

Lovely village pub. The curries are homemade and absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend the sweet and sour chicken too!

Excellent place, supportive staff and good ambiance

Brilliant place to stay or just to visit for food and drinks. The rooms were very clean and very well equipped. Lovely hosts and staff who made us feel very welcome. Food was 5*****

Great food, great beer & great service. We haven't been in since Oct 2019. And it didn't disappoint.

Brilliant place to stay x great location great food great staff x

Really pleasant stay here. The room was comfortable and clean with a separate bath which was nice. Pub is very welcoming and the staff are fantastic, really friendly and helpful. Food was lovely too and a great breakfast in the morning. I was on my bike and felt it was really secure parked up as it’s off the main road through the village. Really great stay, highly recommended.

Plenty portion Enjoyed the evening for 6 of us. Good selection. Thanks

Very nice inn with superb beds and great food. If you are looking where to stay or eat in the area, no doubt it for a second, go to The Bay Horse

Food was great and portion size decent. Only downside was we were there an hour before any food came out - but then it was Sunday lunch.

Called here for food and had a lovely burger with salad!

Always good food here good service with friendly staff

If ever you are driving along the A59 and you see a sign for the Bay Horse Inn, just around lunch time, it really is worth a right turn. Lovely food and even friendlier staff! Thank you.

A great little place for an overnight stay, pet friendly and within a short drive of some lovely places to visit. Friendly staff who couldn't do enough to make your stay a pleasant one.
