1 / 8The Stables, Whitby
Whitby, North Yorkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A 17th-century farmhouse inn on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors by Whitby, with a warm pub atmosphere and designated dog friendly areas.
Once a 17th-century farmhouse, The Stables wraps around a quirky courtyard of converted stables on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, with far-reaching views over peaceful countryside, and makes an ideal base for discovering Whitby's harbour, abbey ruins and 199 steps. Inside it has the warmth of a Yorkshire pub, and this dog friendly inn has water bowls and treats ready for dogs when they arrive.
Most of the rooms take dogs, with only a limited number kept pet-free, and a room takes up to two dogs. The courtyard rooms are characterful, with options including a Mezzanine Bedroom split over two levels and a Four Poster Room. Dogs mustn't stay unattended in your room, but they can come along at mealtimes, which makes the rule an easy one to live with.
Eating together happens in the designated dog friendly parts of the pub and its dining areas, and the inn keeps the Sir Woofchester's range of dog food for your dog's own dinner. Food runs all day, from 7.30am to 9pm, with great pub food and a well-earned drink after a day exploring Whitby or walking the moors.
Back at the inn there's a beer garden and a bar for the evening, and the accessible rooms have walk-in wet rooms. When the dog is ready to go again, Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay, a walk from Wildpack's own list, is 1.7 miles from the inn, and on Wildpack's map the nearest dog friendly sand is Whitby Sands, 1.5 miles away.
