Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
North Yorkshire · England · City
York is a city break to enjoy at street level with your dog: the Minster’s green spaces give you the landmark setting, and the River Ouse trail offers a different pace. Holiday Inn on Tadcaster Road and B+B York in St Peter’s Grove provide two distinct bases outside the busiest central streets. Plan the hotel-to-centre journey and meals first, then keep the sightseeing flexible around crowds and river conditions.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
Holiday Inn offers reserved dog rooms at £15 per dog nightly and designated Open Lobby dining. B+B York has a limited selection of pet bedrooms and a published £20 nightly fee whose per-dog basis needs confirming. Its currently linked policy also mentions a £50 refundable pet-room deposit, so ask for the full payment and meal arrangements.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Enjoy the Minster setting from its green spaces, checking opening times and any temporary closures. This is an outdoor stop that fits a shorter city visit.
Dogs are welcomed on leads; clean up using the bins provided. Garden access does not establish pet access inside the Minster.
Official visitor informationUse the council’s River Ouse trail information to choose a short return section, leaving the rest for another visit. Check current river and path conditions first.
Keep your dog close by the water, share paths considerately and obey closures. Avoid flooded paths and do not assume every riverside section is accessible in all conditions.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Arrive at the reserved dog room and head into the centre for the Minster green spaces if opening allows. Choose quieter street sections if crowds unsettle your dog. Return for a meal arranged around the hotel’s actual dog access rather than leaving the dog behind.
Choose a short section of the council’s rivers trail if the path is open and the river conditions suit. Turn back at a comfortable point instead of completing a long circuit. If riverside access is poor, keep to a short city-street outing and an unhurried departure.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
