How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 7 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 182 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet-friendly summary
This three-bedroom house sits on a quiet residential street in Heworth, about a mile north-east of York's city walls, and it is set up for dog owners who would rather explore the city on foot than move the car every day. The whole house is yours, so there are no shared corridors or lifts to negotiate with a nervous dog, and the driveway takes two cars.
The fully enclosed rear garden is the feature dog owners mention most. It is large enough for a couple of dogs to sniff about safely off-lead, which matters at the end of a long drive or last thing at night, and guests travelling with two dogs have used it without difficulty. Green space nearby gets used too, with a park within a short walk for a proper run before breakfast.
The walk into York is flat and pleasant, following the River Foss for much of the way, and takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes at a dog's pace. If the weather turns, the number 5 and 5A buses stop around the corner and reach the centre in about ten minutes. A Spar a few doors along covers the essentials, with a larger supermarket five minutes away by car.
Guests travelling with dogs consistently describe the house as clean and well maintained, and the owner as quick to answer questions before arrival. It is a modern semi rather than a rambling country house, so it suits one or two dogs comfortably rather than a large pack. The property's booking listing does not set out a pet fee or a limit on numbers, so confirm both when you book.
Best suited to a family or a group of friends bringing one or two dogs to York who want a self-contained base within walking distance of the centre, with a safe garden to come back to. It earns a 4.8/5 paw rating.
