A traditional village pub hotel on West End with a real fire, pub games and a loyal local crowd, reputedly the only pub in England named for Catherine of Aragon. It is thoroughly dog friendly in the bar and offers dog-friendly bedrooms, making it a practical overnight halt on the Cleveland Way or Coast to Coast. Cod Beck Reservoir is a short stroll up the lane.
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 serious 10.3-mile day with 400 metres of ascent, close to five hours, climbing on to Scarth Wood Moor and then following the old Hambleton Drove Road south over the shoulder of Black Hambleton; broad stony tracks for most of it, with wet peat between. Start from Osmotherley village green, where there is a small pay-and-display car park and buses from Northallerton. Cod Beck and the reservoir give water in the first mile but there is almost none after that, sheep range the whole of the drove road, and leads are required on the open moor from 1 March to 31 July for ground-nesting birds.
A gentle 1.2-mile circuit of a tree-fringed moorland reservoir just north of Osmotherley, on a wide, well-surfaced and largely gated path that suits dogs of all ages - many walk it off lead. Leads go back on where the route touches open moor and the Cleveland Way, as sheep graze right up to the water in places. Free parking at the reservoir and in the village, which has toilets and a shop.
A sheltered valley holiday park just above Osmotherley village, with touring pitches, camping and hire caravans a short walk from both the pubs and Cod Beck Reservoir. On-lead dogs are welcome across the park (maximum two in the pet-friendly hire caravans), with a dog wash provided, though dogs are not allowed inside the park buildings. The Cleveland Way passes virtually along the site boundary.
Nobody has written one for The Queen Catherine. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
