Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Malham cost?
Budget hotel prices in Malham vary, but you can find a great deal from £114 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Malham is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in Malham, focusing on accommodation options just outside the village centre or in nearby, slightly larger villages is often the most cost-effective approach. Malham itself is quite small, and while it boasts a few lovely inns, these can be pricey due to their prime location and popularity.

Solo travellers might find better value by looking at guesthouses or bed and breakfasts in the immediate vicinity of Malham, sometimes just a short walk or drive away. These often offer a more personal touch and can be more affordable than the larger establishments within the village. Another option is to consider staying in a youth hostel, which provides basic but clean accommodation at a lower price point, often with shared facilities.

Alternatively, consider villages like Kirkby Malham or Airton, which are very close by and may offer a wider range of budget-friendly B&Bs or smaller guesthouses. These villages are still within easy reach of Malham's famous walking routes and natural attractions, allowing solo travellers to explore the stunning Yorkshire Dales without breaking the bank.
When is the most affordable time to visit Malham?
The most affordable time to visit Malham is generally during the shoulder seasons, specifically late autumn (October-November) or early spring (March-April), outside of school holidays. During these periods, you'll find lower prices for accommodation and fewer crowds, making it easier to secure budget-friendly options.

For solo travellers, visiting during these off-peak times means better deals on guesthouses and B&Bs, often including breakfast. The weather can be a bit more unpredictable, but the dramatic landscapes of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are just as stunning, and you'll have them more to yourself. Many of the natural attractions are free to explore, so your main costs will be accommodation, food, and transport.

Families might also benefit from visiting in the shoulder seasons, provided they can travel outside of school breaks. Holiday cottages and larger B&B rooms are typically cheaper, and there's more availability.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Malham with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Malham. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards programme, to unlock Member Prices across a range of hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Malham?
Malham, located in the Yorkshire Dales, offers a wealth of free activities great for solo travellers looking to explore stunning natural landscapes without spending a penny. You'll find yourself immersed in breathtaking scenery, with plenty to see and do at no cost.

One of the most iconic free experiences is a walk to Malham Cove. This impressive natural limestone amphitheatre is a geological wonder, and the views from both the base and the top (accessible via steps or a more gradual path) are simply magnificent. For a more extensive adventure, continue your walk from Malham Cove to Gordale Scar, a dramatic limestone gorge, and then on to Janet's Foss, a picturesque waterfall located in a tranquil wooded area. These interconnected natural attractions form a fantastic circular walk, showcasing the area's diverse beauty.

Another excellent option is exploring the village itself. You can wander along the Malham Beck, admire the traditional stone cottages, and simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. The Malham National Park Centre offers free information and maps, helping you plan your routes and discover hidden gems.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Malham as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Malham for you.
