Open fireplaces, weathered floorboards and a welcome that includes four-legged friends: High Force Hotel is a country inn in Upper Teesdale, set where dramatic landscapes meet cosy comfort. It makes a fine dog friendly hotel for walkers, with miles of footpaths around it and High Force Waterfall just moments from the hotel.

Nine of the ten individually designed en-suite rooms are marked dog friendly, so there is plenty of choice, and if you mention your dog when you book, the team will leave doggie treats waiting in the room. The rooms mix antiques and oil paintings with quality bed linen, fluffy towels and power showers; Room 4 is a cabin-like retreat with rich wood panelling, and Room 9 is a spacious deluxe king with a cosy seating area. The hotel asks visitors to keep dogs on leads during their visit, to protect sensitive plants and wildlife.

Food is home-cooked and served all day, from breakfast and light bites through to evening meals, in a setting of open fires and rustic charm. Our listing doesn't state where you can eat with a dog, so ask the hotel when you call to reserve. The menu leans on the land around it: eggs from High Beverly Farm a few miles away, Raby Venison and Longhorn Beef from the parkland around Raby Castle, coffee from Lonton in Teesdale and vegetables from the hotel's own garden, with three tiered afternoon tea besides.

Sunday lunch comes with pillowy Yorkshire puddings and choice cuts of local meat, a good reward after a morning out with the dog. The hotel's own suggestion is the stroll to the waterfall, and Wildpack's Low Force and Wynch Bridge Circular is 1.3 miles away.
