Apartment in West Yorkshire 3, Keighley

This is a self-catering flat in the centre of Keighley, and it is one of the few places in the town that welcomes cats as well as dogs. That makes it worth knowing about for anyone using Keighley as a base for Haworth, the Worth Valley and the moors beyond, all of which are a short drive or train ride away. It earns a 4.1 out of 5 paw rating.

The flat itself reviews well. Guests describe it as comfortable, warm and properly equipped, with tea, coffee and toiletries provided, and most rate it good value for the price. Pet owners have not been charged extra for bringing an animal, though nothing about a pet policy is published on the property's booking listing, so that is worth confirming rather than assuming.

Two practical points shape whether it suits your dog. It is on the third floor up a steep staircase, and guests have said that luggage and dogs alike found the climb hard going, so an older dog, a large dog or one that dislikes stairs will struggle. Second, this is a town-centre address: guests with dogs have reported nowhere close by to let a dog off the lead, and nights can be noisy, with pub noise and passers-by audible from inside. The upper floor is at least quieter than the lower ones.

Housekeeping is the real inconsistency, and it is worth being clear about. Most guests find the flat clean, but there are also reports of arriving to pet hair and dog food left behind by a previous occupant, an unclean floor and kitchen, bedding described as infested, a front door that pushed open, and a dog audible from elsewhere in the building. In the worst-reported case the party left without staying. Parking is another recurring gripe: guests have reported none available despite expecting it, and no guidance on where to park nearby.

It suits a solo traveller or couple with a small, stair-happy dog, or with a cat, using the flat as an inexpensive base rather than as a destination in itself.
