「A very good little place. Room was clean and tidy and the bed comfortable. The food in the pub downstairs was good and the breakfast very good. Excellent value for money.」
「A thoroughly enjoyable stay. All the staff we encountered were so warm and friendly. Our room was very well equipped and spotless with quality fittings. Breakfast offered plenty of choice and great quality, the breakfast staff were very polite and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely look to return.」
「Warm welcome. Engaging owner and staff. Really nice service from all of them. Good stopover from motorway. Food in restaurant was very good. Fitted our needs perfectly.」
「This pub changed hands September 10th 2026. I arrived on the 11th. Met by two large under-controlled ladradors, a strong smell of smoke (remember what that was like?) and a pub with no tap beer , no kitchen or other staff. No food. I left pronto.
This review may be unfair to the new owners but my reception was less than impressive and I have my doubts.
Caveat emptor.」
「We just stayed four nights at this hotel.
We enjoyed the location of the property—not to far from Leyburn, Hawes, or Grassington.
Good location for short and long walks or hikes.
You can walk to the falls from the hotel, and there are footpaths if you want to walk to all three falls. That was fun.
Just a quick drive to visit Bolton Castle—worth the visit.
We enjoyed the breakfasts—nice selection of pastries, cereals and fruit. And, the selection of hot items on the breakfast menu was...
「The hotel was out in the countryside with excellent views over the moors. It was very clean and well cared for. Car parking was good. The room size, bed size, etc was great. One small problem - the room lighting was not very bright during the night time. The food was excellent and the staff were great. It was also a great place for walkers with great access to the countryside. I would recommend it.」
「Staff very friendly and welcoming. Room at the back, so no noise from the A66.
Room very clean, well decorated , great shower, comfortable bed.
Bar and restaurant very good
We ate an evening meal, which was excellent.
Continental breakfast was included, delivered to the room in a small hamper ,after completing a form the night before.
Plenty of free parking. Would stay again.」
「Lovely place to stay. Was just the two of us. We would say 2nd bedroom is suitable for children rather than infants or adults, due to steep stairs, and layout of the room. Teenagers would love it I'd imagine.
Only thing that let it down slightly was the small seating area outside. Just needs a little TLC. A quick sweep out would have helped.
Other than that Masham and this property well worth visit, if maybe slightly over priced.」
「The room that I booked was not available, because the White Bear has been sold to a new owner and is currently being renovated. The previous owner new owns another pub in Bedale called the Green Dragon. I was given a room in the Green Dragon, but it was considerably smaller than the original room that I booked and paid for. I was not offered any discount for my inconvenience.」
「The Buck Inn is in a prime central location on a picturesque street. I think some of the recent reviews are unfair. Richmond is an expensive town and most places charge £160 to £180 per night. The Buck Inn charges £85 a night for a double and that includes a very good breakfast. The room is a large en-suite with tea/coffee/hot chocolate facilities and a fair sized tv. Good quality toiletries are provided. The bedding is clean and very good quality and the bed is comfortable. The downsides are...
「Great location, good size all round, good shower, well equipped kitchen (inc. washing machine & detergent), comfortable, quiet, parking great, good value for money.」
「We had a twin room. It was very small and not really suitable for 2 adults, but would maybe work for 2 children. The shower room was tiny, you had to open the door, move to in front of the sink, and close the door before you could get to the loo. Step down from the shower is huge.
The curtain is at least 6 inches from the window so lets a lot of light into the room and as they have an illuminated sign on the building I found it very hard to sleep.
Food was good.」
「This is a beautifully appointed cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's in a quiet location looking out onto a courtyard. Although there is no onsite parking, we had no trouble finding a parking space on the square. Visitors should also be aware that there is no outdoor seating area but we were out and about so this wasn't a problem for us. We would recommend the fish and chip place - but go for small fish and chips! The large are for those with a very large appetite! ...
