The Best Pet Friendly Hotels in York

York is a surprisingly small city which makes it perfect for walking – and, so, perfect for taking your dog with you when you visit. York’s dog-friendly hotels are generally within easy walking distance of the centre yet also close to leafy streets and parks so dogs can get their exercise. Many of the best pet-friendly hotels in York provide treats or beds, and some have special areas where owners can take their meals alongside their pets.

Luxury dog-friendly hotels

• Dogs are treated as VIP guests at The Principal, the grand Victorian hotel next to the station. Not only do they get their own bed and bowl, but special treats, too. The hotel has large gardens where dogs can work off some energy, while owners can relax in the hotel’s pool. Bedrooms are sleek and airy, and the city centre is a 10-minute walk.
• If you prefer a country-house feel, take a look at Middlethorpe Hall, just 10 minutes from the city and sitting in extensive gardens and parkland. This charming William and Mary house offers bedrooms in both the main building and courtyard (dogs are welcome in the cottage suite and garden suite, but not the main hall). There’s plenty of space to relax, plus a small spa, and a fine-dining restaurant.
