The Laurel Inn

The Laurel Inn is a brilliant Robin Hood's Bay stop for dog owners who have tackled the village's famously dramatic hills and need a proper pub reset. This traditional village pub brings together beams, warmth, and that classic old-pub atmosphere that suits salty coats, tired legs, and a dog ready to snooze under the table. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle.

It works beautifully after coastal walking, sea-air wandering, and those bold little moments when the walk back up looked easier on paper. Open from 2pm weekdays (12pm Friday to Sunday), the pub serves real ales including Theakston Old Peculier, guest beers, gins and coffee. Expect cosy pub comfort, a welcoming feel, and the kind of atmosphere that makes everyone slow down and settle in.

For visitors exploring Robin Hood's Bay with a dog, this is the kind of place that makes a proper seaside pub reset feel easy. Bring the lead, expect warm corners, and prepare for a dog who decides this is now their holiday headquarters.
