Dog-friendly pubs in Knaresborough

A famously narrow multi-storey ale house on Knaresborough market place, in the Good Beer Guide for more than thirty consecutive years. It describes itself as a cosy, dog-friendly pub, with a clean water bowl and doggy treats kept on the bar and no objection to a dog on the stairs.

An Ossett Brewery house on Cheapside, a few steps off the market place and an easy stroll from Nidd Gorge. Dogs are welcomed throughout the pub, with the sensible house rule that they stay on a lead and off the seats.

Country dining pub on Wetherby Road at Plompton, between Knaresborough and Spofforth. Dogs are welcome in the bar area and the garden with fresh water bowls always down, treats on hand and a canine menu to ask about; small to medium dogs can also stay overnight in the bedrooms for a supplement.

Brew York's Knaresborough pub, beside the station and a short drop down to the viaduct and the riverside. Asked whether they are dog friendly the pub answers, we love dogs, please bring them, and all three ground-floor rooms are open to them.

Sixteenth-century coaching inn beside Low Bridge on the River Nidd, right by the entrance to Mother Shipton's Cave. Dogs are welcome inside and out, water bowls are provided, and the big riverside beer garden is a natural finish to the Waterside walk; the sign outside reads children, dogs and well-behaved owners welcome.
