Paws up if you are ready for a fun trip with your humans! More paws up if you want it to be in one of the most beautiful counties in the land! Paws up again if you want to stay in a luxury pet-friendly pad, with huge gardens to run in and roaring wood burners to stretch out in front of!
Paws a bit tired now? Well, canine friends - why don't you sit down and take the weight off your feet while your humans flick through our most gorgeous dog-friendly cottages in Yorkshire - just be sure to be close by in case they need a nudge in the right direction!
Here are some of our pet-friendly faves:
Maheshwar, Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire
Sleeps:
2 dogs and 6 humans
Why we love it:
It has to be the wide showpiece wood burner that allows two dogs or (a very long greyhound) to stretch out in comfort on cold nights, the fun games room which all the family will love, and the cutest shared summer house for warm days outside.
Why guests love it:
“Highly recommend this beautiful cottage. It had everything I could possibly need to keep my 10 & 12-year-olds entertained whilst providing a relaxing setting for myself and my parents. Thank you to the lovely owner and her family for making us feel so welcome...” - Kim
What’s nearby?
Walkies on the North York Moors and a trip to the dog-friendly Helmsley Castle (6 miles) and Rievaulx Abbey (9 miles) are all a short drive away. Great for days out where history-lovin' hounds can brush up their knowledge while exploring the countryside.
The Fernery, Richmond, North Yorkshire

Sleeps:
1 dog and 4 humans
Why we love it:
Set in the grounds of a huge private estate with acres of woodland, meadow and lakes at your disposal, this country cottage also boasts a fabulous hot tub for relaxing evenings under the bubbles - drink in your hand and pup at your side. When we say pup at your side, we mean on the decking, not in the hot tub - best leave Fido's swimmers packed for a day out along the Yorkshire coast.
Why guests love it:
“Lovely cottage, decorated and equipped to a very high standard. Perfect location for viewing the Yorkshire Dales. The snug and hot tub are amazing, completely isolated from the world, so tranquil…” - Mark
What’s nearby?
The historic town of Richmond (6 miles) with its cobbled market square and great Norman fortress is a short drive away. There are also the majestic ruins of Easby Abbey 8 miles to the south and the National Trust Hudswell Woods (10 miles) to the west, the latter offering a beautiful stroll amongst magical ancient woodland. The woods are much quieter mid-week, so if you've got a nervous pup, best to avoid busy weekends when families are out.
Sleeps:
4 dogs and 6 humans
Why we love it:
If you’ve got a pup who will love sitting in their very own private courtyard as the sun comes up, gazing wistfully at the surrounding countryside while you promise a post-breakfast walkie, then this is the place for you. There’s also an enclosed paddock where they can burn off some energy before a long car ride on fun days out.
Why guests love it:
“The dog was happy and well catered for, and the owners, who have lots of dogs, were lovely…” - Jane
What’s nearby?
Located in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with the glorious North York Moors National Park nearby, you won’t have far to go for walks and attractions, including the magnificent Castle Howard (7 miles) and the grand old city of York (18 miles).
Sleeps:
1 dog and 4 humans
Why we love it:
This seaside cottage's subtle nautical décor will make you feel as though you are still on the beach, even when the last traces of sand have been washed off both you and your salty sea dog. Situated at the top of Flamborough Head, you are right next to the towering white lighthouse whose neighbouring café offers a hearty all-day breakfast - just the thing to set you up for a long walk along the nearby coastal path.
Why guests love it:
“Fantastic holiday! This home is beautiful, and the location is outstanding, especially at night... the lighthouse makes the perfect scene. Seals and cliffs right on the doorstep. We will be going back soon…” - Laura
What’s nearby?
Coastal walkies all along the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast and the bright lights of Scarborough are just 20 miles up the coast. See the sights from the top of the Observation Wheel (humans only) or the funicular railway (pups welcome too).

Sleeps:
2 dogs and 4 humans
Why we love it:
Blessed with breathtaking views, this delightful converted stable is perfect for a small family and a couple of canines with its green lawns and single-level layout. We especially love the exposed stone and slate floors running throughout - it really is that country cottage that you've always dreamed of owning. Who knows, this holiday may be your inspiration to make the move!
Why guests love it:
“Gorgeous cottage, in a beautiful rural location…” - Clare
What’s nearby?
There’s so much to do around Farndale: visit pretty Hutton-le-Hole (7 miles), the bustling moorland village of Danby (10 miles) and the charming Rosedale Abbey (6 miles), not forgetting the glorious Castle Howard, 20 miles from the cottage.
Sleeps:
3 dogs and 7 humans
Why we love it:
Set on a working farm just a few miles from the North York Moors, this gorgeous barn conversion has a sauna, hot tub and pool table, ideal for a family or friends’ getaway to the country.
Why guests love it:
“The owners Peter and Jackie are just lovely and were so accommodating in every way. They were very patient with our rescue dog who at the end of the holiday would have quite happily stayed with them and their two lovely dogs Jenson and Archie. We would love to return and would recommend this cottage to everyone…” - May
What’s nearby?
You are just 10 miles from the National Trail of the 109-mile long Cleveland Way. If you’ve got a particularly fit hound and like a good walk, the route between Osmotherley and the very dog-friendly pretty market town of Helmsley offers a 15-mile country hike – we would suggest arranging some transport for the return journey, however!
Boo Barn, Settle, North Yorkshire
Sleeps:
2 dogs and 6 humans
Why we love it:
Underfloor heating to warm tired and wet paws runs throughout the property, great for chilly winter evenings! We also love the sweet courtyard to the front of the property with its fabulous private hot tub and stargazing opportunities.
Why guests love it:
This property has increased accessibility – please see our FAQs for more information.
