location to masham was perfect and access to small secure garden was perfect for our dog

shame the house needs a spring clean loads of cobwebs and had to clean the banisters and blinds in small front bedroom which were thick with dust not what you want to be doing on a break. Also would not have booked this had we known had to pay an extra £30 for insurance we were told just before trip or £250 and 14 days yo get it refinded

Location & surrounding area
The accommodation

Patio needs an up grade as it's a trip hazard with cracked paving slabs.
Radiator in the bathroom needs replacing to keep up to the 4 * rating as it is rusty in patches.
The oven door needs adjusting as it's not sealing the oven whilst cooking.

Overall a beautiful property & comfortable stay in a fab location.
The under floor heating & log burner were a sublime extra treat.

Host & Stay sent a very last-minute text saying that we either had to pay a £250 damage deposit (wording on the Booking.com page suggests 'fully refundable' BUT Host & Stay charge a £10 'admin' fee...) OR a £30 non-refundable insurance payment... or your booking will be CANCELLED - SHAMEFUL underhand tactic - THIS SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR BEFORE BOOKING IS ACCEPTED. H&S say this is clear on their site... it is actually way down the listing that very few people will notice. Look for yourself... Also, the lock box has black numbers and letters on black plastic. Despite having 20/20 vision... had to use a torch in daylight to differentiate numbers and letters to enter the code. Needs resolving....

The property is beautifully clean and well equipped.

I feel any future residents should know that I have advised the rental company to URGENTLY contact the owners. The sash windows open right up, they really should only open from top OR have stays on them. Our dog fell from the 3rd floor window onto patio below, how he survived is a miracle and has had surgery to plate a broken leg. The window in the lounge on 2nd floor is just waiting for a tragedy. If it were opened right up and a child ran in and bounced on sofa they could very easily flip out of the window.
PLEASE make safe before there is a bigger tragedy.

Bathroom floors filthy. Dust in all wardrobes and doors. Wooden stairs not suitable for elderly guests.
Winter quilts in hot weather. Windows did it open in most rooms.
Furniture not situated right in lounge so two people can’t watch TV without stretching neck. A little disappointed with the house.

My only issue is with host and stay policy of taking £250 as a damage deposit prior to your stay and charging £10 “admin” to give it back. This isn’t a “hold” on your card as others do, they actually take it and return after your stay following an “inspection”. At the time of writing, over a week since I checked out this has still not been refunded. There is parking in the market square but I wouldn’t fancy carrying our stuff up and down from there. A lovely enclosed garden area although it was a shame that previous dog owners hadn’t picked up their dogs dirt and the host hadn’t noticed it during their “inspection” process. They did come and clean it up when asked

Central location. Decorated for Christmas super appreciated and responses from owner very fast and positive (even when we locked ourselves out). Super clean and well stocked which was appreciated.

The kitchen is cold if there is underfloor heating we couldn't find it. Lots of stairs, flagged in advance but worth noting if there are people with mobility issues.

The key box did not work very well. We arrived in the dark and it was freezing cold and the key bos is more complicated than it needs to be , Phone calls to Host & View support were not helpful. They asked us to send a image of the key box and then to send a video. After a day of travel our mobile phones had little charge left and there was no wifito send large attachments so this is not a solution.

The frying pan was poor, it was not a non stick frying pan and this made cooking eggs difficult and cleaning the pan afterwards was also a pain. A good non stick frying pan would make all the difference

Amazing base to explore the glorious surroundings of North Yorkshire. Loads of walks from the house itself, no need to drive at all if you don’t want to as there’s also loads of lively pubs (and breweries), bakeries, butchers, cafes on the doorstep. Lots of lovely places to visit a short drive away also though if you wanted to explore the other nearby moors and woods. We had a great time, thank you

The location is perfect! Right in the middle of masham and a few seconds from the market square.
The property is spacious and the garden was lovely. To open patio door from the kitchen onto a sunny patio was great. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need and the sofas are comfy.

The property needs a bit of TLC and maintenance.
Curtain poles hanging off the wall. Bed slats not staying in place making for a slightly uncomfortable sleep and a broken blind on a roof window.

Also the main bathroom is in the basement so it’s a bit of a trek from the top floor down 4 floors for a shower.
It’s a shame because the house is lovely.

Really enjoyed our holiday here. The house is located within a 1 minute walk into the village centre, road was quite busy at times but didn’t distract our stay. House was clean and clutter free, kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils, although as others have mentioned, the oven wasn’t the best as door didn’t fully shut.
The house had a really cosy feel to it and was great to relax in the comfy living room or at the big kitchen table, would definitely recommend for a family holiday.

We moved into the house for 3 weeks while our house was be renovated. The house was clean, well located and equipped to stay for such a long period of time.
Masham and the surrounding area is beautiful and after 3 weeks we still had a list of things we wanted to do.
The local shops, pubs and restaurants are excellent and although we could not always get street parking opposite the house the market square, which is 200m away always had plenty spaces even at the weekend, so was not a problem.

Great location & spacious property. Easy walking distance to parking and local amenities. kitchen and bathrooms well equipped with some great modern touches such as the Nest heating system.

Unfortunately, the bed in the attic was cheap and unusable. As soon as anyone sat on it the wooden slats fell through meaning 2 of us had to sleep on a mattress on the floor. The hob was also broken, which someone came to fix the minute we checked out. With the constant barrage of reminders of when to leave, you'd have thought they would have mentioned the hob was broken since they clearly already knew about it.

Lovely house, in a lovely location. Very comfortable accommodation, set on four floors - maybe not suitable for everyone. Lovely pubs in the immediate vicinity, (specifically the Bay Horse was welcoming) and the village had some lovely independent shops. Weather wasn’t conducive to much walking unfortunately (as you would expect in December), but down by the river was beautiful, accessed from a path 20 yards from the front door.
Good time was had by all!

We booked over Christmas. A nice welcoming touch were Christmas decorations put up prior to our arrival. The house was warm, clean and had plenty of hot water. Great when you have a couple of under threes with you. Location is great, so many places ( pubs cafes and a couple of breweries) within walking distance and top notch country club with spa within 10 minute drive. V convenient for dog walking. Although on a main road, the house was quiet.

Lovely house in an excellent location in the centre of Masham. Easy to find, with free on street parking or abundant parking in the nearby car park (with honest box). Walking distance to several pubs and good walking options. All largely as described, nicely decorated and cosy. Baby toys helpgul and nice touch. A few issues with things not working properly (oven door didn't close properly, only one hob worked before the fuse blew, kitchen kick heater broken) and the kitchen utensils, dishes etc weren't always clean (some oven dishes were unusable). For the price I would expect these issues resolved in advance. Communication was fine but constant reminders of checkout time unnecessary. Overall very pleasant stay and worked really well for a family of 6 adults and one child.

Fantastic location in the heart of Masham,

Finished well though some elements are a little dated.

Just be aware it is a 4 story house with the kitchen and bathroom on the lower level (and it can get a little cold down there).

Otherwise a nice place to stay for a few days.

The property was easy to find and although parking was not near the property we were able to use the nearby market place Honesty box system which was great value. Location close to shops pubs and brewery was excellent and we walked from the door to do a local circular walk. The bedding was pristine and beautifully presented felling luxurious plus comfortable. The kitchen facilities were great although only one bathroom for 5 adults was a bit of a stretch. We ate at the nearby Black Swan at Fearby lus visited the Black Sheep brewery for a sampling. A lovely stay.

We couldn’t have asked for a better located place in Masham. There were 5 of us and 3 dogs but, with such spacious accommodation, it didn’t seem like it. The house is exactly as described, very clean and tidy - and the pictures in the listing are very accurate too. As previous reviewers have said, the stairs could be difficult for the less able. Although the house is on a main access route into the village, we couldn’t hear the traffic and access to the recreation fields with the dogs is only a dozen steps away. There is a lovely riverside walk leading from the field too. We would happily return to stay again!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Great location. Beautiful house. Super clean and comfy. I had my parents with me 91 and 83 they found the stairs from the first floor to the bathroom on the ground floor challenging when the hand rail ran out. The company is spot on in communication. There is an additional verification process which I didn’t understand why we needed to do this. Airbnb looked into it but I never got a straight answer. Highly recommended

This is an absolutely beautiful property; so clean, tidy and modern. We loved the quirkiness of the different levels and what a joy to fling the double doors open in the kitchen to welcome in the morning sunshine! Our only slight gripe was the amount of heavy vehicles thundering past the house to and from the main square of Masham: this is obviously beyond the owners control.
All in all a fab stay.

A great place to base yourselves and explore other villages. Would highly recommend the Staveley Arms for dinner (must book).

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting family in Ripon . The cottage is over 4 floors , Kitchen and bathroom downstairs, sitting room on floor you enter off the street at , 2 bedrooms on the next floor and a small toilet and sink and then another bedroom at the top of the house . There is plenty of space in the house and as there were only 3 of us ( and not 5 as we first thought) we had lots of room ! The beds we used were extremely comfortable, the bathroom was spacious with excellent shower over the bath ( plenty of hot water !) but it does get very steamed up as no window to open and just a fan . The kitchen / dining area downstairs opens onto the cute back yard and is well equipped ( although we could have used an extra frying pan for the breakfast fry ups 😝) Parking is across the street and we were always able to get a space , location is perfect for visiting the local pubs ( we managed 3 of them and had a great Sunday lunch at the White Bear ) and there’s a co- op just round the corner ! We are coming back in October for another wedding in Ripon and will definitely look at booking this property again ! Communication with host and stay was always quick and easy .

We stayed here as 5 adults and one baby and it was brilliant! Value for money is second to none. Unfortunately when we stayed the the town of Masham was very quiet with no places open for dinner/food and the brewery had a covid outbreak while our stay too. The fish and chip shop in the town was only open for a 2hr period so I'd make sure to pop down early to avoid disappointment. The place itself has a lot of stairs so if you're a little less agile on your feet I'd take this into consideration. Overall it was perfect and such a gorgeous home!

Parking was a big tricky during our weekend in July because of lovely weather and number of people on staycations but once parked we didn’t want to leave anyway, Masham was such a lovely market town. Bike shed is fabulous addition and there are some great bike rides from the town into the local villages. A real find!
