The Stapylton at Wass is a 17th century inn set in the quaint and picturesque village of Wass near York. Close to historic Byland Abbey, the White Horse of Kilburn, Ampleforth Abbey and Helmsley. The buildings were originally a granary constructed in 1620 and became an alehouse in 1645. It became known as the Stapylton Arms in 1739 following the purchase of the entire village by the Stapylton family of Myton on Swale. The pub retained this name until 1896 when the pub and the village estate were sold to George Wombwell and was known as the Wombwell Arms until 1924 when it was sold off and then reverted to its original name.
The inn features a menu with delicious dishes, sourced from local producers and suppliers to provide a memorable dining experience.
Elegantly furnished, the luxury accommodation is sympathetically decorated in a traditional yet contemporary country feel. There are two double ensuite room and one double/twin ensuite room all offering comfort and style.
The historic, 400-year-old inn remains a central part of Wass village life today and is a lovely base for exploring this part of North Yorkshire’s Herriot Country and being only a 20-minute drive to the World of James Herriot in Thirsk.
