Our stay in Masham
Great location, fully equipped kitchen including dish washer. Secure and good parking. Excellent heating.
Couldn’t find the property in the dark and had to ring for help, took more than one hour to find it even we were very close. Property definitely not very clean , lots of dust and hairs on floor. I mopped it to feel more comfortable. Bent in bathroom needs a clean and the outdoor area feels unloved. Bed a little too small, deadly step up to living area. Floor feels very cold. Front door hard to lock .

A lovely little property
The Old Dairy is in a little gated courtyard right next to the Black Sheep Brewery. It has plenty of parking and was reasonably easy to find. The flat is very cosy and comfortable. I found the decor very pleasing and welcoming. The kitchen was well laid out and provided with a good selection of crockery etc. There were board games in the coffee table and even binoculars provided. All little touches to make you feel welcome.
Couldn't find any spare loo roll in any cupboard so had to buy some, but no big deal. As you can probably tell I was wracking my brain to come up with something here

Great location and village to explore - super friendly area and locals. Pubs and local food great. Nice compact accommod
Great location , lovely setting and village. Liked the convenience of parking. Property well stocked , warm and good communication from host.
The door was difficult to lock , needed a lot of force , probably needs some adjustment as frustrating initially

Great apartment for visiting Masham as only around 5 minutes walk away.
Great location right next to Black Sheep brewery and the White Bear which had great food. Roomy and private parking with plenty of space. Good facilities.
Smelt a bit damp when we went in so don’t think it had been used for a while. Some noise from upstairs.

Ok for our needs
The proximity to town and facilities, the parking
The gates stuck when you opened them,the step down into bedroom and bathroom nit highlighted enough a bit hazardous

Once settled in we enjoyed our stay, including a Christmas Eve meal at the local Kings Head.
In eventum bypassing Host & Stay’s accidental damage demands, I accidentally caused minor breakage of which I informed the owner and offered to pay. In the Christmas spirit of goodwill, he simply said “Forget it; accidents happen”.
Parking was good within a private gated yard. The accommodation itself was of a very good standard, nice and clean, and tasteful. The kitchen was good and well stocked (a casserole dish would improve). The conventional over was good (a power switch on the corridor wall), and had a cooker hood – my spouse & I found it useful after we underestimated the grill! The small fridge was good. Tucked away nicely behind a door, there was also a microwave and, we were pleased to discover, a small freezer although it was clogged with ice – it quickly defrosted. If you need a mirror, the accommodation had plenty! It was also well stocked with USBA ports – I didn’t notice a USBC port.
The living area was good, and had some games and local bumph. The TV screen was good, but for my part I’d like to see the GBNews app installed.
The bedroom was nice, with sufficient space for luggage, and had good lighting.
The bathroom was fine.
I vehemently objected to what I felt was a last-minute rip-off attempt by Host & Stay, informing me that whether or not accidental damage occurred, either we must deposit £200 and get back £10 (a so-called Admin charge), or give them £25 and get back nowt. IMO Host & Stay should have annual accidental insurance, and not make that an extra mandatory tab over and above the contract rental agreed. Is it hidden in their T&C’s? Are they simply being dishonest? It tempted me to give a one-star rating.
The actual property, not to be confused with The Dairy, which is the floor above and accessed from the north side, is accessed from the south side, and carparking is via wooden gates into a private courtyard. Google Maps was a bit misleading as to location.
The bathroom lacked a nightlight: if you walk in the night you might prefer to take your own torch, to hitting the light switch – rather a blinding light in the wee hours. You might also wish to give the loo a second flush – shall we say a bit of hard stuff sometimes fell back down the chimney?
The outside door lock was HIGHLY problematic, and daily we could spend several frustrating minutes trying to lock it, whether from the inside or from the outside. My wife had the better touch, but I did succeed at times. That was my big hate.

Hidden gem
The location, amenities, cleanliness, equipment were all fabulous. Parking was easy with the option to park a second car in the adjacent brewery car park.
First time using Host and Stay. Will definitely book again.
Nothing at all to dislike

Would definitely stay in such a lovely property again when visiting Masham.
Spotless and comfortable with all amenities provided. The bed was superb and and the flat was beautifully presented. We highly recommend such a lovely property to one and all and with Masham and the Black Sheep Brewery on your doorstop who could ask for more. 😁

Great location with everything you need.
Perfect location for us to use as a base, short drives to other parts of the dales that we love. Can't get better than being next door to the black sheep brewery. Having 2 children with us, we spent our nights watching a film or playing games in the living room but the sofa wasn't very comfortable for longer than 20 minutes being sat on it. The photo showed an electric fire but there wasn't one when we arrived, this property would get a 10 if it had a more comfortable sofa and an open fire/log burner to add that coziness, although we weren't cold, the heating was on a timer and it was warm enough in the apartment.
The property had everything we needed and was well equipped.
We could hear every footstep from the people above and most evenings it sounded like they were trying to get their 10,000 steps in.

Really lovely property, had everything we needed for our long weekend

Lovely 'home from home' for small family
Perfect having a 'home away from home' for our baby's first holiday. Lots of amenities and enough space to bring everything else we needed.
A bit fussy but partner found the beds a little uncomfortable. Also, not specific to the property, but, it is worth noting that there are two pubs right beside property which would have been ideal for food but they were constantly booked up! So guests wanting to visit them should be aware of booking in days before.

Beautiful holiday cottage!
The location was just behind the brewery which was perfect as our event was at the brewery. It was modern and light and exactly what we needed! The keys were easily accessible and we had everything that we could need.

We enjoyed our break.
Location was great for the town, just a short walk and right next to the back entrance to the Black Sheep Brewery. We ate in the bistro there for 2 nights - great food, lovely atmosphere and dog friendly. Nice little apartment with everything we needed for a short break. Visited Ripon, Bedale, Richmond, Ripley and Harrogate amongst others.
On the last night a very noisy group arrived in the property above and it felt like I was at a rave all night - obviously not the owners fault but we were shattered the next morning. Masham is very pretty but there's not much in the town itself - you do need to be into walking or drive out and about.
