How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 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 8 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.9/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: September 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
Farm View is a small pod on farmland above Cloughton, five miles north of Scarborough, and for the size of the place it is unusually well set up for dogs. Two things do most of the work: an enclosed paddock the dogs can be let loose in, with a view from the top that guests rate as the best part of the stay, and a dog washer that runs off the car - which, on this stretch of the North Yorkshire coast, will get used.
Dogs are welcomed - the published policy lists one dog per booking, with a charge for bringing one - though guests have arrived with two at a time without difficulty, so agree the numbers and the fee with the owners first.
The location earns its keep. Cloughton sits between the sea and the North York Moors, with a waterfall-and-beach walk reachable on foot from the property, ancient woodland behind it, and Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough all within an easy drive. There is a pub at the bottom of the lane that guests rate highly for food.
Size is the honest caveat. This is a compact pod built for two - well fitted out, spotless, warm, and carrying more equipment inside than you would expect - but it is not a cottage, and a family with a large dog will find it tight. It is owner-run, and the hosts answer quickly when something needs sorting.
Best suited to a couple with a dog who want a walking base with somewhere safe to let it off at the end of the day. It earns 4.6/5.
