1 / 8The Fox & Hounds Inn
West Burton, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A village inn in West Burton, near Aysgarth, where dinner and even breakfast can be served to you and your dog in the bar.
West Burton has its own waterfall, painted by Turner, along with a butcher, an antiques shop and a large village green, and the Fox & Hounds Inn offers a warm welcome for all. This dog friendly inn keeps six cosy bedrooms in a traditional Yorkshire stone cottage, set around a secluded courtyard to the rear of the pub.
Well behaved dogs are accepted in certain rooms, so call or email with your requirements before you book. Dog towels are handed out to dry and clean your dog before it goes into the cottage, and the inn asks that dogs stay off the beds, with a thought for the next guest, who may not be a dog lover. Two of the rooms are at ground floor level, and sleeping across the courtyard means no busy bar beneath you. Ask too about numbers and about leaving a dog in the room alone, as the inn doesn't mention either.
Dogs are welcome in the bar but not in the dining room. If you want to eat together, the bar will take you all, and breakfast can be served there too when your dog is with you. The cooking is good and wholesome, with fresh vegetables and salads: pub favourites like steak and kidney pie and lasagne, steaks and gammon cut by the local village butcher, and homemade pizzas each night to eat in or take away. Each morning there are hot bacon baps with tea and coffee, to eat in or take with you on your walk.
The pub's league teams play darts, dominoes and quoits, and the kit is there if you'd like a go. With the dog, Aysgarth Falls, on Wildpack's map, lies 1.5 miles away, and the Redmire Force and Bolton Castle Circular 3.4 miles.
