How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 5 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 83 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.5/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 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 policy at a glance
- When travelling with pets, please note that an extra charge of £15 per pet, per stay applies. Please note that a maximum of 2 pets is allowed.
Pet-friendly summary
Skipton at Six is a comfortable, nicely furnished townhouse within walking distance of Skipton's centre, and it makes an easy base for a weekend with a dog. Skipton itself is a very dog-friendly town, with plenty of shops and pubs happy to let dogs in, so you can leave the car outside and do everything on foot.
Dog owners who have stayed speak warmly of the welcome. A basket of treats for the dog is often waiting alongside milk and wine for the humans, the rooms are roomy enough for even a very large dog, and the quiet private yard at the back is handy for letting the dog out. Hosts Claire and Richard get credit for the small touches that make it feel like a home rather than a rental.
The house is described as spotlessly kept and well stocked, with a log burner for cooler evenings and comfortable beds. It sits on a quiet street, close to the canal towpath and the walks out towards the Yorkshire Dales.
A few points are worth knowing. The upstairs bedroom has stripped, rustic floorboards with some wide gaps that can feel rough underfoot. The dog welcome pack shown in the photos has not always been there on arrival, and an occasional odour in the house has been mentioned. Pets cost £15 each per stay, with a maximum of two.
For couples or small groups who want to explore Skipton and the Dales on foot with their dog, Skipton at Six earns its 4.7/5 paw rating.
