1 / 8The Black Horse Inn
Settle, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A 1663 inn in the Yorkshire Dales village of Giggleswick, where dogs are welcome in the bar, the snug and out on the sun-trapped patio.
The Black Horse Inn is a 1663 building in the heart of Giggleswick, lovingly restored, with a restaurant space full of charm and character and a bar that is old fashioned with a modern twist. This dog friendly inn is made for walkers: the countryside begins at the doorstep, so you and your dog can set off on foot straight from the pub.
Three newly renovated bedrooms make up the stay, all with ensuite showers, memory foam pocket sprung mattresses, luxurious bedding and fluffy towels, and a home-cooked full English breakfast comes with the room, fuel for the dog's first outing. One is an apartment of two rooms for family or friends, and another sits at the back of the pub overlooking Alkedas Church. The inn's pages don't say how many dogs share a bedroom, or if yours could stay behind on its own while you're out, so raise both when booking.
In the Bar, the Snug and out on the patio, four-legged guests are welcome, and the menus in the bar match the rest of the pub's, so you eat just as well while your best friend relaxes with a doggie biscuit. The patio is sun-trapped, with views of the rolling hills and Giggleswick church, a lovely place to sit outdoors with your dog, and the pub has two wood burning stoves.
Beyond the doorstep, the pub puts the Lakes, the Dales and the Forest of Bowland within easy reach. Your dog's nearest walk on Wildpack's map, Settle: Attermire Scar and Victoria Cave, is 0.5 miles away, and the Stainforth Force and Catrigg Force Circular is 2.1 miles away. Evenings can take in the pub's quiz night on the first Wednesday of the month.
