Its a Dog's Life

Your Dog friendly guide to North Yorkshire

Our dogs are the most devoted of friends. They love to be included and hate to be left behind—but when you go on holiday without them, you can’t explain why or tell them you’ll be back.

Dogs on Holiday

The great thing about holidaying in the UK is how easy it is to take your dog (or dogs) with you! Our dog-friendly pages offer a selection of fantastic options for your holiday, so your four-legged companion can come along too.

North Yorkshire is a county full of outdoor spaces and long walks—perfect for dogs! When you visit our towns, you’ll find many dog-friendly pubs and cafés, and even a few that offer dog-specific menu options.

Wherever you go, your dog goes too

Your dog-friendly holiday can include as much or as little activity as you like. We have an abundance of walks for your daily leg stretch, so you can explore your surroundings together. Dogs love new places—with new smells, sights, and people—so a holiday with you is a double treat for them.

Handy dog-friendly features

Bring your dog with you when you visit Yorkshire. Dog-friendly accommodation offers a warm welcome, and many places provide helpful extras like water bowls, dog beds, and treats to make your stay more convenient.

Our accommodation providers cater for both dogs and families, so you can share your break—however long or short—with everyone in your household.
