How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review 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.

- Wider context: The property has 6 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.7/10 - 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 policy at a glance
- One dog is included and the owners will take a second dog for a further 50 pounds.
Pet-friendly summary
Cottage Anton sits on the moor edge at Fylingdales, between Robin Hood's Bay and Ravenscar and well inside the North York Moors national park. It is a genuinely quiet spot, the sort where the weather is the loudest thing around, and the walking starts at the door rather than at a car park a drive away. Guests who bring a dog rate it highly for precisely that.
One dog is included in the booking, and the owners will take a second for a further £50. The cottage is small and comfortable, and the setting does most of the work: guests describe it as tranquil and close to nature, and the reviews from people who have taken a dog are among the warmest the property gets.
For walking, this is a strong position. The Cleveland Way runs along this stretch of coast, and the old railway line between Robin Hood's Bay and Ravenscar gives a level, well-drained route for the days when the open moor is heavy going. Robin Hood's Bay itself is a mile or so away, with a steep descent through the village to the slipway and a wide beach at low tide.
Two practical points before you book. The track up to the cottage is rough and feels daunting on a first approach, particularly after dark, so aim to arrive in daylight and take it slowly. And the changeover clean is not always thorough at a property that takes dogs: guests have found dog hair left in the settee cushions and across parts of the floor, so it is worth a quick check on arrival. Television reception is poor, so bring something else for the evenings.
Best suited to a couple with one dog who want moor and coast paths from the doorstep and do not mind a rough track to reach them. It earns a 4.4/5 paw rating.
