Sixteenth-century ferryman's inn beside the five-arched bridge over the Wharfe, with riverside walks straight from the door. Dogs are very welcome in the bar with its roaring fires, and in dog-friendly rooms and cottages; staff provide bowls, treats and a towel for muddy coats. Book dogs in ahead as a nominal charge applies.
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 tidy two and a quarter miles in an hour, up the Dales Way from Burnsall bridge beneath the limestone cliff of Loup Scar to the Hebden suspension bridge, crossing there and returning on the opposite bank. Start from the riverside car park by Burnsall bridge, which is pay-and-display and fills early on summer weekends; there are toilets and the Red Lion is a few yards away. Good short walk for an older dog on level meadow paths, with easy shingle access to the Wharfe by the bridge for a paddle, but sheep are in most fields, several stiles are narrow stone squeezes, and the path runs along the unfenced top of Loup Scar above a deep channel.
Boutique hotel on the hillside above Burnsall with sweeping views down Wharfedale, part of the Bolton Abbey estate. All bedrooms and suites are dog friendly (up to 25kg, ten pounds per night), dogs may run off lead in the grounds, and you can dine together in the conservatory, though not the indoor restaurant. Leads required in public areas.
Nobody has written one for The Red Lion. 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.
