- 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.

Pet-friendly summary
Holiday Home by the River Nidd 6 is a static caravan on Lido Leisure Park in Knaresborough, and the setting is what makes it work for dogs. The riverside path is a short walk from the door, so the first outing of the day starts before the car comes out. Dogs are welcome inside the caravan, and the park is set up for people who bring them, with a cafe for a drink after a walk and a pub on site in the evening.
The park is quiet and well kept, and guests travelling with dogs describe the arrangement as easy rather than grudging. Check-in has been flexible for early arrivals, and the bus stop at the entrance runs into the centre of Knaresborough, so the car can stay parked and the dog can come along.
Two things are worth planning around. There is no stair gate inside and no gate across the veranda, so a dog that likes to wander needs watching on the steps and outside. Owners have raised both. The caravan also gets very warm in hot weather and no fans are provided, which matters more with a dog in tow than without one, so packing one is sensible in summer. There is no vacuum either, so bring something for clearing hair off the carpet before you leave.
It suits owners who want a low-key riverside base with walking straight from the door rather than a drive to a trailhead, and who are happy to bring a few bits of their own kit. On that basis it earns a 4.6/5 paw rating.
