One of the best places we have stayed ever - every attention to detail on what is needed at stayed at a property - kitchen fully equipped, lighting for reading great all through the property and property beautifully clean. We could have done with instructions on how to use the TV. And if you cant do the access steps this is not for you!!A really good property in a wonderful country.

We had a wonderful stay at the Mews Masham. The property was cosy and clean, the host was very friendly. The location was excellent, our son loved walking around the garden. One difficulty I encountered was the WiFi as I needed to do some work. I needed to go to a local pub for a meeting. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Lovely short break.

Great property, and great welcome. Had a short break for new year, the property is easy to get to, good parking, and a lovely home from home feel. Comfortable lounge, spacious kitchen, everything you need, and really appreciated a very nice treat of home baked cream sponge cake (extremely good), bread (made top toast), and wine. Thanks so much to the owners.

The property was everything it said and more. We were in Yorkshire primarily for work, but in our two days off we explored and we entranced by the lovely area. Now we have had a taster, we will come back to visit properly and we will book this property again. Thank you

Holiday let

The cottage and gardens are wonderful, the owners are very helpful and friendly, couldn't fault it. Only thing that was a slight problem is the stairs up to the property, I hadn't noticed that it said first floor, the stairs could cause issues with anyone with mobility problems.

Wonderful summer holiday

We stayed in this cottage for nearly two weeks in July. The cottage was very clean, enough space for a family of four, well appointed kitchen. The owners are very nice and welcoming, and of course there is the absolutely lovely garden. Our boys (8 and 10) loved playing with the zip wire! There is so much to do in Yorkshire, beautiful countryside and lots of things to do for children. We were all sad that we had to leave.

Lovely family holiday

I recently stayed here with my husband and two kids age 5 and 4. The Mews was lovely, with really comfy beds and hotel-standard bedding. The wood burner was really cosy and Janet even baked us a cake and gave us a bottle of wine, which made us feel very welcome. The views from the windows are lovely and you can see pheasants. We were delighted to be able to explore the amazing garden and even have a go on the home-made zip-wire! There is so much to do in the area for families- we barely scraped the surface and would have loved to stay longer. Thanks again to Janet and her husband who were always available if we needed them and were very friendly.

Idyllic Christmas Break

After deciding to go away for Christmas, I had to narrow it down to somewhere reasonably close to close to home as didn’t want a long drive on Christmas Eve. The Mews, close to Masham, seemed to fit the bill - it turned out to be perfect. A lovely personal welcome from the owner Janet, the Mews was clean, cosy and welcoming. The personal touches of freshly made cream cake, mince pies and chilled Prosecco were most appreciated. Being on the first floor, the views from all the rooms were beautiful and we enjoyed watching the pheasants in the fields. All in all it was an ideal choice and we have no hesitation in recommending it and would certainly consider a return visit in the future.

Outstanding Dales cottage

We three men, myself, my bother and my nephew stayed at the Mews for 5 glorious days in June 2023. The accommodations exceeded our expectations in every way. We found every room to be spotless and tidy and not at all snug; and I mean that as the highest compliment. Some previous accommodations in which we have stayed were far to snug for our liking. The Mews is spacious and airy. Our hosts are very kind people. Their gardens are magnificent. Coming from the USA on our fifth visit to North Yorkshire we expected lush gardens but Janet and Robert do an excellent job with their gardens and I appreciated a morning or evening stroll. We would stay there again in a minute. The location offers easy access to Masham and the Dales yet is quiet and peaceful. It was just what we needed. Great job and thank you again for a wonderful stay.

Great place to stay. Janet is a brilliant host. She left a cake for us which was delicious( i asked for recipe ) Flat is very nicely done, in a traditional style. Garden and orchards are an absolute joy. Plum, Apple, and Pear all trees were loaded with fruit. There is a zip line installed which was loved by my boys. Indoor games, specially the table tennis was thoroughly joyful. We had a small BBQ with is which we were able to use in the picnic area. Area around flat is just beautiful. There are water falls, trails etc. There is a wet land reserve a couple of minutes drive away, full of wild life. Dairy Ice cream parlour 4 minutes drive away was almost a daily visit for is. We wanted to go to fountain Abby and Himalayan gardens but couldn’t so that’s probably for next visit. We spent a much needed time together and good weather was the cherry on the top. 10/10.

Beautiful location and gorgeous gardens. Clean cottage with great comfortable beds, and lovely views of the countryside. Welcomed with a lovely sponge cake, fresh flowers and delicious wine. Loved the original artwork in the cottage.Two major elements that affected our stay, that could be corrected with additional descriptions on the listing: 1. Laundry facilities are available, but are in the owner's house and only available when the owner is present on the property, and need to be let in to a private part of the home. The laundry is not freely available within the self catered cottage - difficult when travelling with children and needing to launder clothes on our own schedule.2. Wifi is available, however the speed is better suited for occasional email, not for much more. One of us has remote work and it took ages for any pages to load, forget about your zoom meeting.If you are not needing Wi-Fi or laundry, fantastic!

The bottle of wine and cake that we found in the fridge were a lovely surprise too. The cottage was spacious and well appointed and the views were lovely. We were very comfortable. Masham is a lovely town and is well located for touring around the Yorkshire Dales and moors. We couldn’t have made a better choice and would definitely stay there again.
