King's Head, Masham.
Pros:

Great location overlooking Masham Market Square.
Had a ground floor room in the courtyard at the rear of the hotel; nice quiet area, had a good night's sleep. It was a good sized room with a really comfy bed.
Friendly, polite and efficient staff.

Cons:

Service was slow in the restaurant but I was offered a discount, so no complaints really!

Good pub hotel with great breakfast.
Pros:

The location was excellent for exploring and choices of pubs for great beer and food. The staff were really helpful although they did appear under pressure to accommodate the number of diners. However food was excellent with very good breakfast.

Cons:

The staircase up to the bedroom could do with a lick of paint and new carpet as grubby.
