Rooms
Stay
The Dawnay Arms Hotel operates as a small countryside inn with exactly 2 guest bedrooms, both configured as Deluxe King Rooms. Each room includes a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, complimentary toiletries, and fluffy towels from John Lewis. The hospitality tray provides tea, fresh ground coffee, and an electric kettle, with guest-reviewed quality linens from The White Company.
Dining
Daily breakfast is a full English or Irish spread, cooked to order with locally sourced sausages from a nearby butcher. Evening meals use local ingredients, with a menu that includes steak and ale pie, rump steak, and gammon with proper chips. The bar stocks local real ales, a reasonably priced wine list, and a guest beer called Original Sin.
Amenities
The property offers free on-site private parking, free WiFi throughout, and a designated smoking area outside. Guests have access to a garden, terrace, and outdoor furniture, plus a bar with a log fire in cooler months. A 24-hour front desk, ATM/cash machine on site, and private check-in/check-out are available to all guests.
Pets
Dogs are welcome at no extra charge, with pet bowls provided on request. The hotel allows pets in guest rooms and public areas, and the large beer garden includes a covered area for stays in poor weather. Staff reportedly welcome dogs alongside their owners, with locals also engaging with visiting pets.

The hotel sits in a quiet village a few miles from Malton, with Castle Howard about 24 km away and Scampston Hall a short drive. Dalby Forest is 18 km away, while Flamingo Land Theme Park and The Spa Scarborough are both 23 km from the property.
