1 / 8Duke Of York Whitby
Whitby, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
An inn at the bottom of the 199 steps in the heart of Whitby, where dogs get water bowls, treats and their own menu.
At the bottom of the 199 steps, in the very heart of Whitby, the Duke of York is a charming inn serving food to please the whole family, with beers, wines, gins and cocktails at the bar. It also offers comfortable dog friendly hotel rooms, so you and your dog can stay at a dog friendly inn right in the middle of town, well placed for exploring the many attractions Whitby has to offer.
The rooms come with a Nespresso coffee machine, a kettle and a flat-screen TV, and a hearty breakfast is included. Which rooms take dogs, how many may come and if yours can be left alone when you head out: the hotel doesn't say, so raise those when booking. What the inn does offer is plenty of fuss and attention for your dog from the team, in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Well behaved dogs are allowed in the bar area, where the pub keeps cosy corners, water bowls and tasty treats ready. Your dog gets a menu too, Sir Woofchester's, running from Woof Bars and Scampi Fries to treat pots of Bark Bangers and dinner bowls of roast dinner or fish and chips, with a Bark Brew to wash it down; stock depends on availability. On Fridays and Saturdays, dogs are permitted indoors until 8pm.
The nearest of Wildpack's walks, Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay, lies 0.2 miles away, with Whitby Sands, the closest dog friendly beach on Wildpack's map, 0.5 miles off. Back inside, there is a seat ready for your dog while you settle in with a drink.
