1 / 8The Golden Fleece Hotel, Eatery & Coffee House
Thirsk, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A Georgian coaching inn standing on Thirsk's market square, with dogs welcome in its Bar and two dogs at most to a bedroom.
Mail coaches and weary travellers once pulled up at The Golden Fleece, a storied inn on the market square in Thirsk that records trace back to at least the 1500s. Today the building is a fine example of Georgian architecture, with elegant lounges, polished woodwork and oak beams. It makes a dog friendly hotel for a stay in Herriot country, in a market town famed for its historic square and its racecourse.
Two dogs at most can share a bedroom, and the hotel asks that you call directly to book one of its dog rooms. The bedrooms pair heritage touches with modern comfort: a Roberts radio, H2K of Harrogate botanicals and premium teas and coffee. Whether a dog can stay behind in the bedroom while you're out is something The Golden Fleece doesn't state, so raise that on the same call.
In the Bar, dogs are welcome, and it suits a relaxed meal: a quick bite, drinks and conversation amid the hustle and bustle. When you reserve a table, ask for a dog friendly table. The cooking is hearty and direct, with pies made in house, vegetables served with real bite and a Sunday roast of carefully cooked meats, crisp potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, and there is afternoon tea too.
The long bar is steeped in tradition, and the hotel is a Which? Recommended Provider. Thirsk sits between two National Parks, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors, so a day out with the dog can head for the dales one morning and the moors the next.
