1 / 8The Middle House
Askrigg, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A historic village hotel in Askrigg in the Yorkshire Dales, where breakfast with your dog is served in the bar and dogs are welcome in the garden.
Breakfast with the dog close by in the bar is how mornings run at The Middle House, a historic village hotel in Askrigg, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This is a dog friendly inn for a weekend of fell walking, with a cosy bar to come back to and your dog at your feet.
There are a limited number of pet friendly rooms among the 12 individually styled bedrooms, which are spread across the first and second floors. Email the hotel in advance so it can check availability and allocate a dog friendly room, and confirm before you book, as it can't guarantee one. On a cap for dogs per bedroom, or leaving one by itself, the hotel doesn't say a word, so raise both in that same email.
The bar and the front room are open to well behaved dogs, though they don't go into the restaurant, and the hotel asks that they're kept under close control and on a lead, preferably under the table where nobody can trip over them. Bar tables are first come, first served, but the hotel will book residents with dogs a table in the front room. Staying with a dog, you'll have your full Yorkshire breakfast in the bar. The kitchen cooks traditional Yorkshire food with meat from Hammond's of Bainbridge and vegetables and eggs from Carrick's of Bedale, and the bar pours Wensleydale cask ales brewed in Leyburn.
Behind the hotel is a secluded garden where dogs are welcome too, a fine spot for a few drinks. Askrigg Waterfalls: Mill Gill Force and Whitfield Gill Force, one of the walks on Wildpack, is 0.1 miles away, and Semerwater Circular is 1.8 miles out for a longer day with the dog.
