The Fleece Hotel

Richmond, North Yorkshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in 3 dog friendly rooms.

A town centre hotel on Victoria Road in Richmond, where the Abbey, Moors and Dales rooms take dogs and dinner can be eaten in the bar beside them.

Abbey, Moors and Dales are the three rooms at The Fleece Hotel that take dogs, in the centre of Richmond on Victoria Road. Behind its doors are modern en-suite rooms, a relaxed bar and fine dining in a restaurant open to residents and the public, and the rooms each tell their own story, inspired by the charm and beauty of Yorkshire. It calls itself a dog friendly hotel, welcoming well-behaved dogs in the bar area and in those three rooms.

Dogs stay in luxury comfort, with dog beds, blankets, bowls and lots of treats provided, and you choose one of the three rooms when booking. Each of those has a super king bed and its own bathroom, with a walk-in shower in Abbey and Dales. The Fleece doesn't state a cap on dogs per room, or if one may be left there alone, so check before you book.

Pet friendly dining is in the bar area, where both the evening menu and the more relaxed bar menu are served, so you can have either one there with the dog; contact the hotel directly to book it. Every dish is freshly prepared by the chefs with ingredients from trusted local suppliers, and the day runs from breakfast through lunch and light bites to dinner, with a Sunday roast.

The Penthouse Suite, which sleeps four, has views across Richmond, and many of the rooms sit on high floors with views of the town. With a dog, the Richmond Castle and the River Swale Walk on Wildpack's list is 0.1 miles from the hotel.
