A private veranda for morning coffee comes with the Lodge Superior King Rooms at The Inn South Stainley, the rooms the inn suggests for guests bringing their dog on a countryside retreat. The inn itself is independent, set between Harrogate, Ripon and Knaresborough with the North Yorkshire countryside around it, and it blends modern style with traditional charm. This dog friendly inn has scenic countryside walks right on its doorstep.

Dogs stay in those Lodge rooms by prior arrangement, so tell the inn when you book and it will have a comfortable dog bed and blanket, food and water bowls and a welcome treat ready. A Welcome Pack for Dogs can be added as an extra when you book. The inn doesn't state how many dogs a Lodge room can take, or its rule on leaving yours there unattended, so ask about both before you arrive.

The bar area welcomes dogs for drinks and for dining alike, so that is where to settle in for a meal with yours. The menu is locally inspired and built on Yorkshire produce, from a leisurely breakfast to country pub dining, a traditional Sunday roast and handcrafted cocktails at the bar.

The Lodge rooms have spacious, modern interiors, robes, slippers and Egyptian cotton bedding. The team will hand you a map of local walks on request, and with your dog you can be on Wildpack's Brimham Rocks Outer Loop, 1.2 miles away, or Markenfield Hall Woodland and Lanes Walk, 2.6 miles away.
