If you’re in search of a traditional British seaside resort then why not try Whitby? Nestled in Yorkshire, it boasts everything you could need including the beautiful Whitby beaches, the bustling Whitby harbour, and easy access to areas like the North Yorkshire Moors. In fact, the whole family is invited - even the dogs. So peruse our selection of dog-friendly hotels in Whitby and start planning a trip that everyone will enjoy.
Explore local attractions like the Raithwaite Estate, Whitby Abbey, Sanders Yard and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum - all of which are just a short walk away and offer a central location. The next day, take it easy on the golden sands, getting toes and paws wet, enjoying a game of frisbee and, of course, stopping to take in the beautiful views.
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. Alternatively, you could stay in the centre of Whitby and feast on fish and chips.
That’s if you can pull yourself away from the pet-friendly accommodation. From those directly in Whitby town centre to those bed and breakfasts just outside, you and your pup are sure to feel at home. We have popular haunts like White Horses Inn and we guarantee you’ll find something that ticks all of the boxes. Many even come with luxury amenities like free WiFi, a private bathroom, room service and even outdoor space.
Some of the best pet-friendly hotels and guest houses in Whitby boast private parking and indoor pools as well as traditional and vegetarian breakfasts. Not to mention, extras for your pups like toys, beds and blankets. Whatever your budget and however long you’re looking to stay, our accommodation offers a warm welcome. And, with so much to see and do in this fabulous location, we know that a staycation in Whitby will definitely leave a lasting impression.

Whether you’re looking for some of the best beaches, want to try out the local hotspots for fish and chips, or are in search of an undiscovered bolthole away from the action, these are some of the best places to explore nearby:
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.
