Old Swan Inn

The Old Swan Inn is a village pub in Gargrave, just off the A65 south-west of Skipton and dogs are welcome inside.

It's a rebuilt local with a good mix of walkers, families and regulars, making it a reliable stop-off when you're exploring the southern Dales or heading between towns with the dog in tow. Food is served in the dog-friendly bar, so your dog can settle in by your feet while you order something more substantial than crisps. The pub has a warm, practical feel—nothing precious, just a solid place to pause with a pint and let the lead untangle under the table.

Indoor dining with dogs is confirmed and the pub's location in Gargrave makes it genuinely useful for visitors who want to keep their route flexible without having to leave the dog in the car or hunt for outdoor seating in doubtful weather.
