With beaches, cliffs, and a friendly town atmosphere, Whitby makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors while keeping your dog happy and cared for.
Whitby’s charm lies in its combination of coastline, countryside, and characterful streets, making it perfect for pups who love to explore.

Policies can vary, so it’s worth checking the latest details before you book, especially if you have a larger dog or more than one.
Browse our selection of dog-friendly hotels in Whitby and pick the one that suits your plans. Whether you’re chasing seaside adventures, cliff-top views, or a cosy night in town, you’ll find places where both you and your dog can enjoy the best of the Yorkshire coast together.
Whitby is home to lots of pet-friendly hotels but some of the most popular include The Stables, The Duke of York and The Endeavour.
For great views in Whitby, we recommend Raven Hall Hotel or Discovery Accommodation - both of which have a central location.
For a romantic break, we say choose either Raithwaite Sandsend or La Rosa Hotel.
This depends on the hotel, your preferred dates as well as how many people and pups are travelling. If you have a budget in mind, we can recommend suitable accommodation.
Again, this will depend on the hotel but typically dog-friendly rooms come with dog beds, dog treats, blankets and toys. Dog owners can expect an en-suite, comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities, and a desk area.
