Many of the beaches in East Yorkshire and the local attractions are welcoming to dogs including the grounds of Sewerby Hall, Burton Agnes Hall and Sledmere House.

There is also a mud daddy in the utility room should you need to wash your dog. We do also have a dog crate available should you need to borrow one.
