Meg's Den, Hebden Bridge

Meg's Den is a self-catering house on a quiet terrace in Hebden Bridge, and its appeal for dog owners is mostly about position. The town centre is a two-minute walk, the Calder Valley footpaths climb away from the streets almost immediately, and the terrace itself is quiet enough that a late trip outside is no drama. It is a whole house rather than a room in one, so there are no shared corridors or lobbies to negotiate with a dog in tow.

The house is set up with dogs in mind rather than merely permitting them: guests find dog bowls and treats waiting, alongside the sort of small touches that suggest the owner thinks about who is actually staying. There is a small outside space, and the interior is consistently described as clean and tidy - which counts for something when a wet dog comes back off the moors.

Hebden Bridge itself is one of the better Pennine towns to bring a dog to. Guests with dogs report being made welcome across the town rather than only at the house, and there is no shortage of walking: the canal towpath along the valley floor, the woods on the slopes, and the moor paths above them. Public transport is unusually good for the area, with frequent buses and a station on the Leeds to Manchester line, so a car is not essential.

Two things to be aware of. The house takes up to two dogs, but nothing beyond the count is set out - no fee is stated either way, and there are no published rules about furniture or which rooms a dog may use - so settle that with the owner before booking. And the dog-owner feedback here is thin: a single stay, warm but one voice, so read it as a good sign rather than a pattern.

Best suited to walkers with a dog who want a town base with proper transport links and the moors within reach on foot.
