The Claxton Hotel

Redcar, Redcar and Cleveland

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A family run hotel on Redcar's High Street, overlooking the seafront, where dogs can relax with you in the lounge of an evening and join you at breakfast.

The same family has run the Claxton Hotel on Redcar's High Street since 1975, now into its third generation, and the building looks directly over the seafront. That puts this dog friendly hotel in the middle of town: walk out of the door and you are on the High Street.

There are 36 en-suite bedrooms, a mix of Standard, Deluxe and Superior, and eleven of them are on the ground floor. A freshly cooked English breakfast is included with every booking. The hotel doesn't say which rooms dogs go in, how many can come along or about leaving one unattended, so call before booking.

Mornings start with your dog beside you at breakfast, which owners and dogs share in a separate room, and evenings end in the lounge, where you are welcome to relax together over a drink. It is a private lounge for residents, with a look out across the sea. Bar meals are served from 12 to 8pm, and residents can also order room service between those same times.

Wildpack's Saltburn Woodland Walk and Valley Gardens sits 4 miles from the Claxton. For a day on the sand with your dog, Skinningrove Beach is 7.2 miles off, the beach Wildpack's map marks as nearest for dogs. If you're cycling or golfing, the hotel can store bikes and clubs overnight with prior notice.
