Middlethorpe Hall & Spa
York's country house where dogs stay free in the cottage suites
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
The hotel's own parkland and lake walk are on site, and the Knavesmire, the open common around York Racecourse, is next door along Bishopthorpe Road.
Dogs stay in the Cottage Suites and Garden Suite only and don't go into the main house.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

What we've confirmed, at a glance.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs stay in the Cottage Suites and the Garden Suite by prior arrangement. The park and the area near the lake are open to dogs, the formal gardens aren't. The main house (restaurant, bar, lounges) and the spa are for people only. Dogs stay out of the bedroom itself and off sofas and armchairs.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
