1 / 8The Black Horse Hotel
Grassington, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A cosy 1650 coaching inn in the heart of Grassington, in the Yorkshire Dales, with a real fire in the bar where dogs can join you.
A dog stretched out by the real fire in the bar is a fair picture of The Black Horse Hotel, a cosy coaching inn dating back to 1650 in the heart of Grassington, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Full of charm and character, down to its quirky, uneven floors, this dog friendly inn is glad to have four-legged companions join you.
There are 15 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, many with views across the Yorkshire Dales, and up to two dogs can share yours. The rule to know is that dogs must never be left unattended, whether in the rooms or on any part of the premises, so plan days and dinners with the dog alongside. One premium king looks over Grassington square and into the Dales, and the Premium King is a spacious, bright room with a king size bed and a hybrid pocket sprung and memory foam mattress.
Your dog is allowed in the bar and in some areas where the à la carte menu is served, and the bar pours real ales alongside home-cooked bites. The restaurant cooks with fresh, locally sourced ingredients across traditional English, fish and vegetarian dishes, and food is served from midday into the evening every day.
Evenings bring regular quiz nights and live music, and Grassington itself is a filming location, doubling as the fictional town of Darrowby. Wildpack's Grassington to Burnsall Circular is 0.1 miles away, with Wharfedale: Burnsall to Linton Falls 2.4 miles away when the dog is ready to go further.
