1 / 16Brookside House
Pickering, North Yorkshire
A three bedroom family house near Pickering at the foot of the North York Moors, with an enclosed back garden, a conservatory, an open fire and two dogs welcome.
A dog that likes to come and go as it pleases will get on well here. Brookside House is a three bedroom family home just outside Pickering, where the North York Moors begin, a dog friendly house for two dogs, and its back garden is enclosed, so the door can be left open and the dogs can wander in and out.
The garden has a large patio and a sitting-out area, and the dining room looks straight onto it from a big heated conservatory, so meals can be eaten inside or out with the dogs in view either way. The kitchen adjoins it, with a breakfast bar, and downstairs there is a shower for anyone who comes back muddier than expected.
The living room at the front has an open fire, a real one, and that is where the evening ends up, dogs stretched in front of the hearth and the fire popping. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a super king bed, the second a double, and the third a single day bed with a trundle beneath it for a child, with the family bathroom alongside. A stairgate is available if the dogs are to stay downstairs at night.
Pickering is 1.5 miles away, where the North Yorkshire Moors Railway sets off north across the heather to Grosmont and on to Whitby. There is an enclosed dog exercise field about ten minutes' walk from the house, which is useful for a dog that needs a proper run off the lead. Dalby Forest, the Hole of Horcum and Levisham Moor are all a short drive, and Castle Howard is not much further.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is Brookside House dog friendly?
Yes, Brookside House is a dog-friendly holiday home that welcomes up to two dogs. The enclosed back garden means dogs can wander in and out freely, and there's a downstairs shower for washing off muddy paws after a day on the moors.
Are dogs allowed at Brookside House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, and the setup of the house — with an open fire in the living room and an enclosed garden — makes it a comfortable base for dogs in any season. For confirmation of availability at specific times of year, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Brookside House with my dog?
The house accommodates up to two dogs, and a stairgate is available if you'd prefer to keep them downstairs at night. There's an enclosed dog exercise field about ten minutes' walk away, which is handy for a good off-lead run, and the wider North York Moors — including Dalby Forest, the Hole of Horcum and Levisham Moor — are all a short drive from the door.
