Dog-friendly stays in Saltburn by the Sea

Self-catering lodges in the grounds of Rushpool Hall on Saltburn Lane, set back in the woods above Skelton Beck about a mile from Saltburn seafront. The operator's own site describes them as dog-friendly self-catering holiday homes, which is the whole of the published policy: no limit on numbers, no charge and no house rules are stated anywhere on the site. The Valley Gardens path runs down through the woods from here to Cat Nab and the beach, so you can walk to the sand without driving. Rushpool Hall itself, the hotel in the same grounds, publishes no dog policy at all and is a separate booking.

A large hotel standing above Saltburn Bank at the head of the valley, a few minutes' walk down to the pier, the cliff lift and the sand. Its own Cleveland Way page tells walkers to book into one of the hotel's dog friendly bedrooms, so dogs are taken in a specified set of rooms rather than throughout. The hotel does not publish which bar or dining rooms dogs may use, nor a nightly dog charge, so both need confirming when you book. It is the obvious base for anyone starting the Cleveland Way coastal section, which leaves from the Saltburn seafront below.
