1 / 8No. 1 York by GuestHouse
York
Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms.
A Grade II listed Regency townhouse in York, where dogs get an Ivy & Duke bed and bowls and can dine with you in the bar or lounge.
Ivy around the door, huge sash windows and a sweeping central staircase mark out No. 1 York by GuestHouse, a Grade II Listed Regency townhouse a 10-minute walk from York Minster. The people behind this dog friendly hotel call themselves a dog-loving family, with plenty of cuddles and treats to give your dog.
Dogs can stay in the bedrooms apart from the Small Guest Rooms, which don't have the space for them, and the hotel's 38 bedrooms are spread over three floors, each with its own quirks. In the room the dog finds a comfy Ivy & Duke dog bed, food and water bowls, treats on arrival and a card of the hotel's favourite dog walks. Once you've told reception and left a contact number, the dog can be left alone while you go out, and the hotel can recommend a trusted local dog walker if you'd like a lie-in. As for how many dogs may share, the hotel's pages don't say; ask when booking. Around the lobby and the other public spaces a lead is needed, and dogs keep off the furniture there.
Dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant, Pearly Cow, though the dog policy also mentions pre-booking a dog friendly dining area there, so check when you book. You can dine with the dog in the Rhubarb Bar or the Marmalade Lounge, where the bar menu runs Monday to Wednesday and at Thursday lunch.
The spa sits in the arches of the cellar, with five treatment rooms, though dogs aren't permitted there. Back in your room there's a turntable with records to borrow from the vinyl library, and the Pantry of complimentary treats is yours to raid. York's parks make the city a fine place for a holiday with your dog.
