- Wider context: The property has 72 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.5/10 - 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
Pear Tree Hut is a shepherd's hut set in the old walled garden at Carr House Farm in Cayton, a couple of miles south of Scarborough, and it is one of the more relaxed places to bring a dog. Dogs are welcome without fuss, the meadow and decking give them room outside the hut, and the owners are described as leaving guests to it rather than checking in every half hour, which suits anyone travelling with a dog that would rather not meet a stranger at the door.
No formal pet policy is published on the booking listing, so confirm numbers and any charge when you book. Guests have stayed with more than one dog, and dogs are mentioned alongside children in most of the reviews, so this is not a property where a dog has to be kept out of the way.
Two practical things shape a stay here with a dog. The first is that the hut is on a working farm: there are horses in the field next door and cattle on the land, so a dog that chases livestock will need to stay on the lead outside the meadow, and wellies are worth packing because the ground gets muddy. The second is that the shower and toilet facilities are shared and sit a short walk from the hut rather than inside it, so you will be leaving the dog in the hut for a few minutes at a time.
Inside, the hut is genuinely cosy, with a log burner, an electric blanket, and free wood and firelighters supplied, plus a fire pit and decking outside for the evenings. Dog owners have asked for one small addition that has not appeared yet: somewhere to clip a lead near the decking. Cleaning has drawn the odd comment too, mostly dust under the bed rather than anything to do with previous dogs.
For anyone who wants outdoor and rustic rather than a hotel, with a dog that is steady around farm animals, Pear Tree Hut earns a 4.8/5 paw rating.
