1 / 8The Wharton Arms Hotel
Skelton, Redcar and Cleveland
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A six room inn on Skelton High Street that welcomes well behaved dogs in its bar and lounge, with the Cleveland Way passing close by.
The Wharton Arms was built in 1878 to replace an earlier building further along Skelton High Street, and it has been the local community meeting place ever since; many still know it as Skippers. With a dog in tow, walkers have good reason to stop: this dog friendly inn sits close to the Cleveland Way, the long distance footpath that passes within 100 metres.
Upstairs are six en-suite bed and breakfast rooms on the first floor, with tea and coffee facilities and Freeview TV. Dogs can stay overnight, and well behaved ones can join you in the Bar and Lounge too. The inn doesn't say which of the six rooms take dogs or how many can come, so check when you book. For walkers there is luggage drop off and collection, and a secure room to store and dry wet boots and clothing.
Everything on the menu is prepared in the inn's own kitchen and sourced locally where possible, from parmos and a gourmet burger to chilli and lasagne. The Bar and Lounge are both open to dogs, though the inn doesn't say whether they can come into the Dining Room, so ask about that in advance. If you arrive late off the path, you may find the kitchen will try to feed hotel guests outside its usual hours, and the cask ales change often, drawn from local breweries.
A pool table, dart boards and Sky Sports on several TVs keep the Bar and Lounge lively, with your dog settled at your feet. Out on the trail, the Cleveland Way runs from Helmsley to Filey, and Wildpack's Saltburn Woodland Walk and Valley Gardens is 1.7 miles away. Skinningrove Beach is the closest beach Wildpack lists for dogs.
