WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

An eighteenth-century coaching inn facing East Witton's green, with sweeping settles, sturdy oak tables and Masham ales on the pumps. Dogs are welcome in the real-ale bar and the garden, where water bowls are provided, but the restaurant is kept dog-free. A limited number of bedrooms take dogs for a nightly charge.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are allowed in the bar and garden only, not in the restaurant. Only a few bedrooms are dog-friendly and a nightly charge applies.

Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.

Is this your pub?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Pub DOGS WELCOME

The Cover Bridge Inn

DL8 4SQ
No reviews yet

A sixteenth-century coaching inn beside the River Cover, with a riverside beer garden that is one of the best places in Wensleydale to sit with a wet dog. Dogs are welcome inside and out and water bowls are put down; the pub simply asks that they are kept under control. Over 350 years of serving travellers and it still shows.

Nobody has written one for The Blue Lion. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.
