1 / 24The Old St Johns Church
Burton Fleming, East Yorkshire
An 1883 Methodist chapel at Burton Fleming sleeping ten across five en suite bedrooms, with an enclosed private yard, a hot tub and a cloak room at the door, two dogs welcome.
The old vestibule was kept, so you come in through a small cloak room and leave the walk on the floor of it before the building opens up. The Old St Johns Church is an 1883 Methodist chapel at Burton Fleming, now dog friendly and sleeping ten. Two dogs are welcome, and an enclosed private yard sits behind it with a hot tub on the paving.
Inside, the scale is the point. Vaulted ceilings, exposed timber joists and a stained glass rose window throwing colour across one open room that carries the lounge, the kitchen and a table long enough for the party. A wood burner anchors the low end. Five bedrooms each have their own bathroom and two are on the ground floor, and a dog can follow anybody anywhere across a floor laid for a congregation.
Somebody is up in the balcony room losing at air hockey and the noise is coming down the full height of the building. Two dogs have found the flags in front of the wood burner and written off the day. The rose window has gone dark. Four of the ten are out in the tub in the yard, and whatever went into the oven an hour ago has become everybody's problem.
Burton Fleming is a Wolds village with a green, a post office and a play area, and dry chalk valleys running away from it under footpaths. Burton Agnes Hall and Sledmere House both open their gardens a few miles off. The sea is close enough for a morning at Filey or Bridlington and back by lunch. Dogs get the field tracks, the valleys and most of the sand.

Is The Old St Johns Church dog friendly?
Yes, The Old St Johns Church welcomes up to two dogs. The converted 1883 Methodist chapel has a practical cloak room at the entrance where you can leave leads and muddy kit before heading inside, and the open-plan ground floor means dogs can move freely throughout the main living space.
Are dogs allowed at The Old St Johns Church year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth checking directly with the property when you book. What is clear is that the setup — an enclosed private yard, stone flags in front of the wood burner and easy ground-floor access — suits a dog visit in any season.
What should I know before visiting The Old St Johns Church with my dog?
Up to two dogs are welcome, and the enclosed private yard at the rear gives them a secure outside space without needing to be on a lead. The cloak room at the entrance is handy after a day on the chalk valley footpaths nearby — there's space to sort wet dogs and muddy boots before you're properly inside. Filey and Bridlington are both within easy reach if you fancy a beach morning, and dogs are welcome on the field tracks and dry valleys running from Burton Fleming village.
