Bring your dog if

- The wider guest experience is strong - guests rate this 9.2/10 overall on booking platforms
Worth knowing
- Paw rating is based on 4 reviews - limited sample, treat as directional
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published - confirm directly with the property before booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 4 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 111 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.2/10 - 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 policy at a glance
- Some of the rooms are small, so check with the owners first if you are bringing a large dog
- Bring your dog's own bed and towels, because the ground around the property can get muddy
Pet-friendly summary
High Greenside is a farmhouse bed and breakfast in the open countryside at Ravenstonedale, in the upper Eden Valley where Cumbria meets the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines. For a dog, it is close to ideal: quiet lanes and fell walking start at the door, and the whole place runs at the unhurried pace of a working farmhouse rather than a formal hotel.
Guests travelling with dogs describe being looked after as a pair, with the dog's needs treated as part of the stay rather than an inconvenience. Rooms are reported as comfortable, spotlessly clean and dog-friendly, and dogs of a walking persuasion get plenty out of the surrounding country. The owner draws consistent praise for being enthusiastic, flexible and helpful, and the cooked breakfast - locally sourced and generous - is the single most mentioned part of any stay.
The setting is remote in the best sense. You can walk straight onto the fells, the lanes are quiet, and a pub serving food sits within a mile's walk, so an evening meal does not have to mean driving. A car is essential for reaching anywhere further afield, and the peace is broken only occasionally - the odd bark carries across the yard, as you would expect around a farm.
The property publishes no dog limit and no pet charge, so confirm both when you book rather than assuming. With a 4.4 out of 5 paw rating, High Greenside suits dog owners after a quiet, good-value walking base in the Eden Valley, with big breakfasts and open country in every direction.
