1 / 8The King’s Head Inn
Great Ayton, Redcar and Cleveland
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A country pub with rooms beneath Roseberry Topping at Newton under Roseberry, where dogs are allocated a dog friendly room and welcomed with bowls and treats.
With over 200 years of history behind it, The King’s Head Inn is a country pub with rooms beneath Roseberry Topping, on The Green at Newton under Roseberry. It makes a gateway to Captain Cook Country, the North York Moors National Park and the Cleveland Way, and a dog friendly inn for anyone planning days on the hills with a dog.
Just mention the dog as you book and a dog friendly room is set aside for you, with up to two dogs welcome. The doubles are individually designed, the superior doubles and twins look out on Roseberry Topping, and the family rooms add bunk beds for children. The inn won't have a dog left unattended in the bedroom. Evenings are spent together in the pub instead.
That suits the dog well: the pub has designated dog friendly areas, and there the dog finds water bowls and treats waiting and shares mealtimes with you. The cosy pub serves delicious food and well-kept drinks with the warm welcome of a traditional North Yorkshire inn, and its outdoor terraces make a peaceful place to unwind.
Roseberry Topping and Newton Wood, one of the walks on Wildpack, is 1.7 miles away, so the hill is within easy reach of a morning outing with the dog. Skinningrove Beach, 10 miles away, is the closest beach Wildpack lists as dog friendly, for when the dog wants the sea.
