Discovered Bank Villa at Masham by chance and our 2 night stay was not long enough. Liz and Graham made us feel at home and very welcome as soon as we arrived.

My Wife and I had a great break (two nights) at Bank Villa. Beautiful house, excellent location, wonderful hosts and food. The house is ideally situated for visiting this part of North Yorkshire and particularly well situated if you enjoy "Black Sheep".

I booked at the very last minute for a stop over en route from Surrey to Scotland, just happened to pick Masham because it was close to the A1.

We were late arriving due to roadworks on the A1 and worried a little about inconveniencing our hosts as we had requested an evening meal. We need not have worried, Graham and Liz gave us a wonderful welcome... More
