How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from Agoda — 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 246 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.4/10 — the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: May 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
Paw rating: 4.5/5 — based on two confirmed pet-traveller reviews of The Saddle Room, a 5-star restaurant-with-rooms set on the Tupgill Park estate in Coverdale, just outside Middleham in the Yorkshire Dales.
Guests travelling with dogs describe The Saddle Room as a genuinely well-thought-through Dales country stay. The location does most of the work: the property sits on a private rural estate with the Forbidden Corner attraction and open countryside immediately around it, so dog walks start at the door rather than requiring a drive. Reviewers describe the dog-welcome as warm and the overall experience as faultless on a recent stay, and the on-site restaurant means you don't have to leave the dog in the room to drive somewhere for dinner.
Practical points worth knowing before you book: the property is part of an estate-style cluster of accommodation, and pets are NOT accepted in the Two Bedroom Townhouse — so when booking, make sure to pick a room type that allows dogs and confirm with the property. The on-site restaurant is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, no food is served on Sunday evenings, and the bar closes at 18:30, so plan dinner timings accordingly. Sunday check-in must also be before 18:30. There are no listed on-site pet amenities, so bring your own bed, bowls and towels.
Best suited to: couples or small groups with a calm dog who appreciate restaurant-with-rooms quality and a rural setting where walking trails are immediate. Make sure to specify your room type and ask about Forbidden Corner access if dog-walking on the wider estate is part of why you're going.
