Country inn at Fellbeck on the B6265 between Pateley Bridge and Fountains Abbey, and the nearest pub to Brimham Rocks. Proudly dog-friendly, with four-legged companions welcomed as warmly as their owners, and rooms if you want to make a weekend of it.
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.
A small High Street cafe built around an extraordinary range of hot chocolates, with cakes to match. It is dog friendly, which is worth knowing because a good number of Pateley's shops are not, and it sits halfway up the hill for a breather.
A six-mile lap of the reservoir that fills the floor of upper Nidderdale, out along the quiet Wath Road on the west bank to Ramsgill and back down the eastern shore on the Nidderdale Way, with barely 100 metres of climbing and about two and a half hours of walking. Start from the small roadside car park above Wath, a mile north of the Sportsman's Arms; the summer Sunday DalesBus 821 also runs up the dale from Pateley Bridge. Gouthwaite is a Site of Special Scientific Interest full of wintering wildfowl and the shore fields are grazed, so dogs stay on the lead the whole way round and should not go in the water.
Five and a half miles and about two and three quarter hours, climbing out of Bewerley through Skrikes Wood to the two stone pillars of Yorke's Folly, then along the gritstone edge of Guise Cliff past the hidden tarn before dropping to Glasshouses and the riverside path home. Start at the stone bridge in Pateley Bridge where there is a long-stay car park and the Nidderdale bus stops; the climb is 240 metres and the edge path is rocky and slippery when wet. Sheep graze the moor edge and there are unfenced drops of 30 feet and more along Guisecliff, so keep dogs on the lead across the top and save the off-lead time for the woodland and the river.
Nobody has written one for The Half Moon Inn, Fellbeck. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
