Dog-friendly cottages in Whitby

Seaside charm and four-legged fun

Planning a trip to Whitby with your dog? With its sandy beaches, dramatic clifftop trails and dog-welcoming atmosphere, Whitby is one of the best spots in Yorkshire for a holiday with your pup.

Our range of dog-friendly cottages in Whitby includes everything from harbour-view apartments to cosy fisherman’s cottages – all within walkies distance of the sea, the moors or a welcoming pub.

Why choose a dog-friendly holiday in Whitby?

Whitby has the perfect mix of coast, countryside and character – not to mention plenty of places that welcome dogs with open arms. Stroll along cobbled streets, explore the ruins of Whitby Abbey or join the Cleveland Way for an epic clifftop walk.

You’ll also find plenty of pup-welcoming cafés and pubs, plus access to some of the UK’s most scenic walking routes across the North York Moors. It’s a place where dogs and humans alike can stretch their legs, breathe in the sea air and enjoy a proper northern welcome.

Best dog-friendly walks in and around Whitby

Whitby is a walker’s paradise, with loads of dog-friendly routes nearby. Here are some of our favourites:

  • Cleveland Way – this long-distance trail passes right through Whitby. Head north to Sandsend or south towards Robin Hood’s Bay for a dramatic coastal walk.
  • Whitby to Robin Hood’s Bay – a stunning 7-mile walk along the cliff tops. Be aware of livestock along the way and keep dogs on leads where needed.
  • Mulgrave Woods – a magical woodland near Sandsend with streams, ruins and seasonal wildflowers. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on the lead.
  • North York Moors National Park – head inland for heather-clad hills, wide open spaces and plenty of off-lead opportunities.

Best dog-friendly beaches near Whitby

Whitby is ideal for beach-loving dogs. While some areas have seasonal restrictions, there are plenty of sandy spots nearby where paws are always welcome.

  • Tate Hill Beach – this small, sheltered beach in the harbour is dog-friendly all year round. Perfect for a paddle or ball game.
  • Sandsend Beach – just north of Whitby, this scenic beach welcomes dogs year-round at the far end.
  • Runswick Bay – a short drive away, this peaceful cove is dog-friendly all year and has a gently sloping beach ideal for a splash.
  • Robin Hood’s Bay – this charming village has a dog-friendly beach all year round, as well as pet-welcoming pubs and cafés.
  • Staithes Beach – a small but scenic beach where dogs are allowed all year. Ideal for rock-pooling and coastal strolls.

Dog-friendly attractions and activities

There’s plenty to do in Whitby beyond walkies and beach games. Here are a few pup-approved spots:

🏰 Whitby Abbey – dogs on leads are welcome to explore the grounds of this iconic ruin overlooking the town.

🚂 North Yorkshire Moors Railway – hop on a steam train and ride through the stunning countryside. Well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small fee.

🛳 Whitby Coastal Cruises – enjoy a boat trip from the harbour – many short cruises welcome dogs aboard.

🌿 Falling Foss Tea Garden – set in a woodland clearing near a waterfall, this hidden gem is a great spot for a walk and a bite with your dog in tow.
