A pub and small hotel on Middleham's little market square, open all day for coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner in racing country. Dogs are welcome inside, a water bowl is put down for them and there is a resident pub dog to do the honours. Dogs are taken in the bedrooms too for a small nightly charge.
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.
Six and three quarter miles in about three and a half hours, out over Middleham Low Moor where the racehorses work, past Tupgill Park to the ruins of Coverham Abbey, and back on woodland paths above the River Cover to Cover Bridge. Easy going on turf and track with one long steady climb of a little over 200 metres; start at Middleham market place below the castle, with free parking on the cobbles. Racehorses use the gallops every morning and have absolute right of way, so keep dogs on a short lead and well off the tracks before eleven o'clock; sheep graze the moor, and the Cover gives shady woodland and shallow water for a swim on the way back.
Traditional coaching inn on the cobbled square of Middleham, racehorse capital of the north and home to a mighty ruined castle. The hotel is dog friendly, with dogs allowed in the characterful wood-fired bar and in designated bedrooms; staff have been known to slip visiting dogs a breakfast sausage. Gallops-watching and Wensleydale walks from the door.
Nobody has written one for Richard III Hotel. 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.
