Seventeenth-century Thwaites coaching inn on Duke Street in the heart of Settle's market town, handy for the Settle-Carlisle railway. Dogs are welcome in the bar and bedrooms, greeted with a barrel of water, bowls and towels by the door and biscuits on the bar. The dining room is best left to the humans.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Four miles and around two and a half hours through the finest limestone amphitheatre in Craven, past Warrendale Knotts and the cave mouths of Victoria and Jubilee, with a long steep climb out of the town to start and rocky, slippery ground in places. Start from Settle market place; parking is pay-and-display and Settle station on the Settle-Carlisle line is five minutes away, which makes this one of the few Dales walks you can do properly by train. This is open access limestone grazing with sheep everywhere and short leads required from 1 March to 31 July for ground-nesting birds, there are ladder stiles over the walls that no dog can climb, and the cave entrances and scar edges are unfenced drops.
Family-run park on the banks of the River Ribble two miles north of Settle, close to Stainforth Force. Two dogs are welcome per pitch, with a securely fenced exercise field for off-lead runs and the river for a paddle; leads elsewhere on site. The on-site Knights Table restaurant welcomes well-behaved dogs too.
A small independent bar and bistro in the centre of Settle, useful for a drink and a plate of something after a day on the Ribble Way. The tourist board lists it as having dog-friendly seating, so dogs are catered for in part of the room rather than throughout. Worth ringing ahead at busy times as the space is compact.
Nobody has written one for The Golden Lion. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
