The Old Bridge Inn & Coffee House

Holmfirth, Kirklees

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.

A Regency mill owner's house turned inn beside the River Holme in Holmfirth, with treats and a comfy bed waiting for visiting dogs.

In 1819 a mill owner built a grand Regency residence on the banks of the River Holme, and today it is The Old Bridge Inn & Coffee House, beside the Picturedrome theatre in Holmfirth. Low timbered beams, a hearth and proper ales set the tone inside, and this dog friendly inn suits walks through the Peak District with your dog.

Treats and a comfy bed are waiting for your dog, and two dogs at most can share a room; call the hotel directly to book one. Rooms have premium linens and soft pillows, botanical toiletries from Harrogate and biscuits with the teas and coffee, and the Superior Double has a balcony. Ask on that call if your dog may stay behind on its own while you go out, since the inn doesn't say.

Book a table under pet-friendly dining and your dog gets a place beside you. The cooking is modern British with many ingredients sourced locally, from homemade pies to a Sunday roast with Yorkshire puddings, plus an afternoon tea of sandwiches, scones and patisserie. Local brews, craft beers and cocktails fill out the drinks list.

The building has had several lives, as a wool baron's home, a social club and, since a builder converted it in 1986, a hotel, and its original Regency portico still stands. Holmfirth sits in the Holme Valley, a gateway to the Pennines, and the inn sees itself as a welcoming haven after a day's walking, which is exactly where you and your dog will want to land.
