How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 20 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet-friendly summary
36 Westminster Road is a two-bedroom house in Clifton, a quiet residential pocket north-west of York city centre, and its enclosed garden is what makes it work for a dog. Guests travelling with dogs describe the garden as the deciding feature: somewhere to let a dog out first thing without a lead, in a street calm enough that nothing much goes past.
The listing does not publish pet terms of any kind - no fee, no limit on numbers, no size or breed restriction - so agree them with the property manager when you book. Guests have brought more than one dog without difficulty, but that is their experience rather than a stated policy, so it is worth having in writing.
The walk into York is the other reason dog owners rate it. There is a riverside path along the Ouse into the centre, which keeps a dog off pavements and traffic for most of the journey, and a road route if the river path is wet. Families who have stayed for longer stretches say the house handles it well: plenty of space, a properly equipped kitchen, and off-road parking, though the parking is tight enough that a larger car takes some manoeuvring.
The house is normally described as clean and comfortable, with small touches guests notice, but the standard is not perfectly consistent - one guest arrived to greasy dishes and a dirty oven, and another flagged a bathroom without an extractor. None of that is dog-specific, but if you are arriving with a dog that sheds and want a clean floor from the start, it is a reasonable thing to check on arrival.
Best suited to a family with a dog who want a self-catering base in York with a garden and a walkable route into town, and who are happy to confirm the pet terms directly. It earns a 4.6/5 paw rating.
