Cross Pipes Tavern & Rooms

Otley, Leeds

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A refurbished tavern with seven rooms in the heart of Otley, each named after one of the town's lost pubs, with designated rooms for dogs.

Cross Pipes Tavern & Rooms sits in the heart of Otley, a refurbished pub with a warm Yorkshire welcome downstairs and seven bedrooms upstairs, each named after one of the town's lost but much-loved pubs. Well behaved dogs stay in its designated dog rooms, making Cross Pipes a dog friendly inn with Otley Chevin and the River Wharfe close by.

Those designated rooms take two small dogs, a Springer Spaniel at most, or one big dog of Labrador size or more. Behind the doors of The Woolpack, The Blue Bell and the rest are five spacious doubles and two twins, with stylish décor and modern amenities throughout. Cross Pipes asks guests not to leave a pet unattended in the room.

Downstairs, the Tavern pours real ales in the cosy warmth of the indoor bar, and the newly extended patio has the old well, now lit up, as its centrepiece, with TVs inside and out for the big fixtures. Cross Pipes doesn't say if the Tavern or the patio is open to dogs, so it's worth a quick question when you book.

Otley Chevin and Surprise View sits 0.9 miles from Cross Pipes on Wildpack's walks map, and the inn's Discover Otley page points to riverside strolls along the Wharfe, and a walking and cycling guide can be downloaded. Esholt Woods Circular Walk is a little further afield, somewhere new to take your dog.
