An independently run eighteenth-century coaching inn on the Wharfe with thirteen en-suite rooms looking to the river or the fells. Dogs are welcome in both bars and in the bedrooms for a small nightly charge, making it a sensible base for Great Whernside and the Dales Way.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Eight miles and a full five hours for the biggest hill above Wharfedale, climbing beside Dowber Gill Beck past the old hostel at Hag Dyke and onto a gritstone summit ridge of peat hag and boulder that is genuinely wet, genuinely rough, and no place to be in low cloud without a compass. Park in the village car park in Kettlewell; the 72 bus from Skipton and Grassington comes in as far as here, but check the timetable because it is a handful of journeys a day. Sheep are on the fell year round and the tops carry ground-nesting birds from March to July, so the dog stays on the lead; the beck gives good water for the first two miles and nothing above it, and the descent by Top Mere Road is on grass and stone with gates rather than stiles, though there are two ladder stiles high on the ridge that a big dog cannot climb and will have to be carried over.
Nobody has written one for The Racehorses Hotel. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
