1 / 8The Devonshire Arms Hotel
Bolton Abbey, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A country house hotel at the gateway to the 30,000-acre Bolton Abbey Estate, with a limited number of dog friendly tables to reserve in two restaurants.
The Devonshire Arms Hotel stands at the gateway to the 30,000-acre Bolton Abbey Estate in the Yorkshire Dales, with the Priory Ruins less than a mile away along a riverside path. It spans two wings: the old wing keeps traditional rooms with period features and four-poster beds, while the contemporary rooms in the new wing look out over the Estate. This dog friendly hotel opens straight onto acres of off-road walks across the Dales, fells, woodland and riverside.
Dogs stay in a number of dog friendly rooms and need to be pre-booked, so add a dog when you book online. A welcome pack brings treats, a bowl, a towel and more, and there's an optional four-poster dog bed. Washing areas, spare bowls, leads and waste bags are provided, and the Canine Delights dog menu is there through room service. How many dogs can share one of those rooms is something the hotel doesn't state, so ask when you reserve.
Dogs are welcome in the hotel lounges, where a light lunch menu is served daily, and a limited number of dog friendly tables in The Garden Room Restaurant and The Brasserie Restaurant must be reserved in advance. The menus celebrate produce from the land, with fruit, vegetables and herbs from the hotel's own kitchen garden, and afternoon tea brings buttermilk scones made by the pastry chef.
The spa has a vitality pool, a Rasul chamber and secluded bell tents in its grounds, and the keepered fishery offers wild and stocked brown trout and grayling. Reception keeps a map of walks from the hotel, and with your dog, Wildpack's Bolton Abbey and The Strid is 0.7 miles away.
