Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Redmire / the Yorkshire and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - guests rate this 9.3/10 overall on booking platforms
Worth knowing
- Paw rating is based on 2 reviews - limited sample, treat as directional
- Pet fee: £25 per stay (Dogs of all sizes welcome, but only one dog per room if it weighs more than 25kg) - research-verified; confirm at 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: 2 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 293 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.3/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 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
Redmire Village Pub sits in a quiet Wensleydale village between Leyburn and Castle Bolton, and it is the kind of Yorkshire Dales pub with rooms that treats a dog as a normal part of the booking rather than an awkward exception. Parties arriving with more than one dog are accommodated without fuss, and the staff have a reputation for reading a nervous dog well and giving it space to settle in its own time.
The practical detail to get right at booking is the room. Dogs are not allowed across the whole building - the pub sets aside Garden Rooms 3, 4 and 5 for guests bringing one, so ask for one of those rather than assuming any room will do. The garden rooms sit a little apart from the main building and run smaller, so book expecting a comfortable base rather than a view. A charge of £25 per stay covers the extra cleaning, and a £250 damage deposit is held on a card for the night.
What lifts the stay is the pub itself. Food at both breakfast and dinner draws consistent praise, the bar is unusually well stocked for a village of this size, and staff and locals are used to dogs coming through the door. Dogs are welcome in the bar and the lounge though not in the main restaurant, which still leaves you somewhere to sit with a dog at your feet on a wet Dales evening.
The setting is the other draw. Redmire is a short walk from Redmire Force on the River Ure, with Castle Bolton, Aysgarth Falls and the Wensleydale bridleways all within easy reach for longer days. Parking is on hand and the village is quiet enough that a last walk before bed is uncomplicated.
Not every stay has been flawless. There have been reports of night-time noise, both from the roof space above the rooms and from the pathway outside, so light sleepers and sound-sensitive dogs should factor that in. With a 4.5/5 paw rating, this suits walkers who want a proper village local at the end of the day and are happy to book one of the specific dog-friendly rooms.
