The Buck, Malham

The Buck Inn was built in 1874, an old coaching inn on the Pennine way. Walter Morrison, who inherited Malham tarn estate in 1857, built several new houses and rebuilt The Buck Inn with the help of an architect from London. They were all built to the same style with steep roofs and can be picked out as ‘Morrison’ houses.

One farmer mentioning to Morrison that he could not see out of the window in his new house when he was sitting down was told ‘a farmer should get up and go out, not sit and look out’. More recently, the pub has been featured on Julia Bradbury’s ’Walks with a view’ and Adrian Edmondson’s ‘The Dales’. We are within walking distance of Malham Cove, Janet’s Foss, Gordale Scar and, for the intrepid walker, Malham Tarn.

We have 11 en-suite bedrooms altogether. Each with tea and coffee making facilities, TV, hairdryer, fresh towels and free Wi-Fi.

We serve a varied breakfast menu, with cooked options such as; traditional Yorkshire breakfast, eggs Benedict, poached or scrambled eggs on toast and a vegetarian breakfast. As well as porridge, yogurts, cereal and fresh fruit.

Packed lunches are available to and include a sandwich, a packet of crisps and a bottle of water.
Dogs are welcome to stay in some of our rooms, please ask for availability.
