A 17th-century former coaching inn on Great Ayton's High Street, all original beams and log fires, in the village where the young Captain Cook grew up. Dogs are welcome in the Bistro Bar (mention your dog when booking a table) and in the bedrooms. An obvious pairing with Roseberry Topping or the Captain Cook's Monument 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.
A short, steady climb from the free Gribdale Gate car park up through larch woods to the 60-foot obelisk of 1827 on Easby Moor, raised to the explorer who grew up in Great Ayton below. Views sweep to Roseberry Topping and across the Cleveland plain, and a longer circuit links both summits via the Cleveland Way. Popular with dog walkers, but livestock graze along the trail, so leads on at times.
The unmistakable shark-fin summit of the North York Moors, a 1.5-mile climb each way from the National Trust car park at Newton-under-Roseberry, through Newton Wood's oaks and up a well-pitched stone path to 320 metres of all-round views. The Trust rates it a three-pawprint dog destination: dogs welcome in all areas under close control, on a short lead around the sheep that graze the slopes. Steep and rocky near the top - sure-footed dogs only in wet weather.
Nobody has written one for The Royal Oak. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
