The old Askwith Arms on West Lane, which closed in 2022 and reopened in 2024 as The Penny Bun, the village inn of the Denton Reserve estate across the valley. Its own FAQ is unusually clear about dogs: well-behaved dogs are welcome in the snugs, the bar and the terrace areas, and it asks you to say when you book that you are bringing one so they can seat you somewhere sensible. Dogs are not allowed in the five bedrooms, which is stated in the same breath and saves a wasted booking. The terrace and conservatory look straight across Wharfedale to Ilkley Moor, and Askwith Moor Road climbs from the village to the open moor, so it works well as the end of a walk.
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.
Nobody has written one for The Penny Bun. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
