The historic little market town of Masham is situated in the lower reaches of pretty Wensleydale alongside the River Ure. Set in gently rolling farmland, the town boasts a huge market square, where a Wednesday and Saturday market is held. There are lots of walks around the area, including a 10-mile walk along the Ure, arguably one of the best in the UK. The town boasts a good range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs and has become best known perhaps as the home of two breweries Theakstons of Old Peculiar fame and the Black Sheep Brewery, which now brews 11 million pints of beer a year! The popular towns of Ripon, Thirsk, Northallerton, Richmond and Harrogate are an easy drive away. With so much to see and do in the area, this is a great place for a holiday in all seasons

    Aime made us very welcome and gave tips on places to visit. The tray of treats for us and the dog were appreciated. Highly recommended.

  • Nicola

    Amy the owner was very nice, friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the local area and things to do and places to visit. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque break. Great for the dogs too.

  • Jackie

    Hayloft is in an ideal position to take advantage of the fantastic views and access to Nidderdale and the rest of Yorkshire. One of the best things is the wildlife that can be seen from the picture windows especially the barn owl and the swallows. The cottage is clean and comfortable perfect for our weeks stay. Amie left lots of lovely treats for us and extras for the dog. Amie is a perfect host. Friendly and welcoming. We plan to return in the future.
