No93 Boutique Guest House, Easingwold

No93 Boutique Guest House is the kind of small, owner-run place where a dog is treated as part of the booking rather than something to be tolerated, and that shows up consistently in what guests with dogs say afterwards. It earns a 4.8/5 paw rating.

There is no published pet policy setting out fees or numbers, so those are worth confirming when you book. What guests describe instead is a routine that seems well practised: water bowls and treats waiting in the room, a bed and blankets put down for the dog, and a sausage cooked at breakfast for the dog alongside the human version, cooled and cut up before it reaches the table. Guests with dogs mention being asked the dog's name at booking and finding it used throughout the stay.

The house itself is the other half of the appeal. Rooms are carefully decorated, the bathrooms are generous, and breakfast draws as much praise as the dog welcome. Guests travelling alone with a dog mention the place feeling quiet and easy rather than formal, and repeat visits are common.

Easingwold suits the arrangement well. It is a compact market town with shops, pubs and a market square a short walk from the door, and open countryside starts almost immediately beyond it. York is a straightforward drive for a day out, and the Howardian Hills and southern edge of the North York Moors are both close enough for a proper walk before dinner.

Two things to weigh up. This is a small guest house with shared spaces rather than a self-contained cottage, so a dog that finds other guests and a communal breakfast room stressful will have a harder time here than in a private let. There is also no mention of an enclosed garden, so comfort breaks mean a lead and a walk. For a couple or a solo traveller with a sociable, well-settled dog who want a comfortable base for York and the moors, it is hard to fault.
