- Evidence: 6 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 26 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.4/10 - 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
Cherry Tree Cottage is a two-up two-down on the main street in Aysgarth, and it is about as straightforwardly good a Wensleydale base for a dog as this stretch of the dales offers. Dogs get a welcome basket of their own alongside the one left for guests, which is the sort of small thing that tells you the owner has thought about who actually stays here.
The back garden is fully enclosed, and that is the detail dog owners keep returning to: somewhere safe to let a dog out first thing, with seats and a view down the dale to sit with afterwards. Inside, the cottage is simple in style but comfortable and clean, with a bath and a separate shower, a washing machine and a dishwasher, and a kitchen window that looks out over the dales.
The walking is the point. Aysgarth Falls are a walk from the door rather than a drive, and the route back passes two village pubs. Castle Bolton is about ten minutes away by car, and the cottage sits roughly midway between Leyburn and Hawes, so most of Wensleydale is within easy reach. The village itself has friendly pubs and a well-stocked garage for whatever you forgot to pack.
Being on the main street sounds like a drawback, and guests report that it is not: the cottage is described as surprisingly peaceful. The realistic limit is size rather than quality. This is a small two-bedroom cottage, best suited to a couple or a solo traveller with one or two dogs rather than a large party with a pack. Feedback from guests with dogs is consistently strong and it earns a 4.6/5 paw rating, with nothing more serious raised than a moment of confusion over the keybox code, which the owner sorted out over the phone.
