By Four Legged Guests editorial team 3 min read
The Yorkshire Dales is made for walking, and that makes it ideal for a dog. Drystone-walled fells, river valleys, waterfall trails and a strong tradition of dog-friendly country pubs mean your dog is as welcome here as you are. The stays below have earned solid paw ratings from guests who travelled with their dogs, grouped by area so you can choose between Wensleydale around Leyburn, Ribblesdale around Settle, and the waterfall country near Ingleton. Each links through to a full review with the pet policy, photos and what dog owners said.

Where you base yourself depends on the walks you want. Leyburn and Wensleydale give you gentle riverside strolls and market-town comforts, with The Old Chapel and Grove House among the most reviewed dog-friendly options. Settle and Ribblesdale put you near the Three Peaks for bigger days on the fells, often with a dog-friendly inn to finish in, and Ingleton is the pick for the famous waterfalls trail.
