A double-fronted, grey-washed inn on the roundabout just north of the town centre, pouring Timothy Taylor Boltmaker and Rudgate Jorvik Blonde beneath old photographs of Boroughbridge. Dogs are welcome in the bar and in the thirteen en-suite rooms, where the inn lays on dog beds, bowls and even dog beer, with a small cleaning charge for overnight stays. There is a covered seating area at the front for warmer afternoons.
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.
Under three miles and a little over an hour on level ground beside the River Ure and the Milby Cut, with only about 20 metres of rise and firm towpath and riverside path most of the way, which keeps it usable when the field walks have turned to mud. Start on Boroughbridge High Street, where there is free parking in St James Square and the market cross, and the town sits a mile from junction 48 of the A1(M). The lock and weir at Milby run fast and deep and there are moored boats along the cut, so keep dogs on the lead by the water; the riverside pasture is grazed in summer.
A Grade II listed former roadhouse by the Tutt bridge, listed on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors with the maximum three stars for its original stained glass and mock-Tudor front. It is run as a taproom now, with at least four rotating cask ales, a lounge fireplace, darts and a pool table, and dogs are welcome everywhere except the restaurant area. Benches at the front and a courtyard take the overflow in summer.
A proper community local a short walk from the River Ure, with an L-shaped carpeted bar at the front and a further room through an archway with a high table for standing drinkers. Dogs are welcome in the bar with no restrictions, which makes it a sensible first stop after a turn along the riverside. Unfussy, well used by villagers and quiet enough for a settled dog.
Nobody has written one for The Grantham Arms. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
