Dog-friendly cottages in Yorkshire

Pet-friendly holidays in Yorkshire

Stay at a self-catering dog-friendly cottage in Yorkshire. The region is so vast it has been split into smaller sub-counties that take their names from the points of the compass. From the rolling countryside of the Yorkshire Dales to the stunning golden sands of the Yorkshire coastline (where we also have a variety of dog-friendly cottages available), there’s so much to explore and having your dog by your side can make the whole experience more enjoyable. They’ll love the endless walks to be enjoyed from the doorstep, whether it’s over the famous rolling hills or by the sea on a dog-friendly beach.

Dog-friendly holidays in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire spans the stark, striking and beauty-spot-laden city of York, the North York Moors National Park, the Howardian Hills AONB, and North Riding Forest Park. At the coast you have the traditional seaside resort of Scarborough, and the quieter yet equally alluring Robin Hood’s Bay, and Staithes. The former is the eastern terminus/starting point of Alfred Wainwright’s Coast to Coast long-distance walking path, and the latter is known for its quaint pubs, picturesque harbour, and for being the filming location of TV’s Old Jack’s Boat. Whitby is a draw for visitors because of the fantastic Whitby Island and its tales of Count Dracula. At least you have your dog to see off the vampires.

Dog-friendly holidays in East Riding

East Riding or East Yorkshire is a great place for a dog-friendly holiday in Yorkshire. It is home to the cultural city of Hull with its amazing museums and the flowing River Humber. With a long, wild coastline, you can enjoy the bird reserves and cliffs at Flamborough Head, it’s one of the best places to see thousands of sea birds in the same place. Other seaside resorts include Hornsea, Skipsea and Withernsea. Also consider a dog-friendly Yorkshire break in Beverley, a historic and picturesque town which is home to the Minster, Beverley Westwood, North Bar, and its racecourse.

Dog-friendly holidays in West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire is where most of the people live. It’s home to the former industrial hubs of Bradford, Leeds, Halifax, Huddersfield, and Wakefield. It’s not all built up though and its empty stretches encompass a length of the Pennine Way, and some of the most northerly reaches of the Peak District National Park. Seek out the joys of Hebden Bridge, with its bookshops, cool pubs, and walks. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is to the north and the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland AONB lie just beyond the western borders.

Dog-friendly holidays in South Yorkshire

Take your four-legged friend to South Yorkshire for a fun holiday. South Yorkshire runs across the western fringes of the Peak District National Park, and the dales of Derbyshire to the south. Home to the city of Sheffield, and other large towns like Doncaster, Rotherham, and Barnsley, the further east you go the more remote and desolate the landscape becomes. Characterised by impressive swathes of wild moorlands and big skies, this is the Yorkshire of Ted Hughes poetry.

Dog-friendly holidays in the Yorkshire Dales

The Yorkshire Dales National Park and Nidderdale AONB are the most popular areas of Yorkshire for those who love the great outdoors. Take your dog on gorgeous walks in this exceptional part of the North of England. Wild and windswept, inspiring, challenging, and life-changing the Dales are a great pet-friendly destination. Visit Aysgarth Falls, Harrogate town, Ripley Castle, Kettlewell, Linton Falls, and the Trough of Bowland. Also sample cheese at the Wensleydale Creamery and visit the UK’s oldest sweet shop in Pateley Bridge.
