There’s an abundance of very dog-friendly walks in Whitby too. Explore the coastal North Yorkshire countryside and the North York Moors, adventure up West Cliff, allow your furry friends to run on ahead on pet-friendly paths and plan a trip to the city centre pubs in Yorkshire that have a seat for everyone.

Whitby is home to lots of pet-friendly hotels but some of the most popular include The Stables, The Duke of York and The Endeavour.
For great views in Whitby, we recommend Raven Hall Hotel or Discovery Accommodation - both of which have a central location.
For a romantic break, we say choose either Raithwaite Sandsend or La Rosa Hotel.
This depends on the hotel, your preferred dates as well as how many people and pups are travelling. If you have a budget in mind, we can recommend suitable accommodation.
Again, this will depend on the hotel but typically dog-friendly rooms come with dog beds, dog treats, blankets and toys. Dog owners can expect an en-suite, comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities, and a desk area.
