1 / 8The Kings Head, Masham
Masham, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A Grade II listed Georgian inn on the market square in Masham, where dogs relax by your side and walks start or end at the door.
Biscuits and fresh water for the dog, a craft beer or cask ale for you: that is how an afternoon goes at The Kings Head, Masham, a Grade II listed Georgian inn overlooking the market square in a market town bordering the Yorkshire Dales. This dog friendly inn has 27 en-suite bedrooms, and walks from leisurely strolls to brisk rambles start or end at its door.
The bedrooms are tastefully furnished, spacious and full of character, and if your dog is coming, book in advance by phone to be sure of a room for you both. The Kings Head doesn't mention which bedrooms suit dogs, nor a limit on numbers, so cover both on that call.
In the pub, dogs are welcome at the manager's discretion, and the house asks that they stay on a lead in the inside and outside seating areas and keep off the carpets, sofas, chairs and other furniture. Some areas of the pub are dog friendly indoors, so ring ahead to check which are free, or take a seat in the beer garden, where well-behaved dogs are welcome too, and eat while your dog relaxes by your side. The menu runs to a Slow-Cooked Steak & Ale Pie, a Signature Burger and the Garden Plot Medley of fresh vegetables and zesty chickpeas, with a Sunday roast and a range of breakfasts for those staying.
The Black Sheep Brewery is just down the road for a tour. For walking, Wildpack's Druid's Temple and Ilton from Swinton Park is 1 mile away and the Masham and the River Ure Walk is 2 miles away, both within easy reach of the square with a dog.
