That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

The Kestrel is a country pub on the edge of Harrogate, useful for dog owners heading toward Knaresborough or planning a proper pub stop without the separation stress.

Dogs are welcome inside in the bar area, where food is served and the whole group can settle in together. You'll find water and treats available, free on-site parking and a warm welcome that's practical for walkers coming off the surrounding routes. The pub opens early seven days a week, making it a handy base for breakfast runs or later stops when both ends of the lead need refuelling.

It's the kind of place where your dog can supervise proceedings from under the table while you sort out the next stage of the day and nobody minds a bit of mud on the floor.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Free treats available

Doggy menu available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome in the bar area, where food is served and your dog can settle in with the whole group. Water and treats are available.
