Hotels in Malton

Malton's hotels and inns cluster around its Georgian market place and along the roads leading out to Norton and the surrounding villages, putting most guests within a short walk of the food market, independent shops and Talbot Yard's restaurants and producers. Options range from historic coaching inns with real ale and hearty menus to smaller, family-run B&Bs offering a quieter, more personal stay, many of them proud to showcase the same local produce the town is famous for at breakfast.

Because Malton is compact, staying centrally means you can leave the car behind for a weekend of eating and browsing, while the York to Scarborough railway line offers an easy, car-free way to arrive in the first place. For those wanting more space or a rural outlook, farmhouse B&Bs and small hotels in the villages around the Howardian Hills and Vale of Pickering put Castle Howard, Eden Camp and the southern edge of the North York Moors within easy driving distance, while still being close enough to Malton for dinner in town.

Whichever type of stay suits best, booking ahead is sensible around the Food Lovers Festival in May and on the weekends of the monthly food market, when the town's limited number of rooms fill up quickly with visitors drawn by Malton's reputation as Yorkshire's Food Capital.
