How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 4 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 212 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
No 4 Hawthorn View is a ground-floor apartment in a quiet residential pocket of York, a walk of ten to twenty minutes from the city walls, and the ground floor is the part that matters if you are travelling with a dog. There are no stairs, no shared corridors to negotiate and no lift to wait for, so the last leg of a long drive is a door and a dog on a lead and nothing else.
The flat is let as dog-friendly and owners who have brought one describe it as showing no sign of it: no lingering smell, nothing tired or scuffed, and the same spotless condition that guests without dogs report. The immediate streets are residential and quiet, with a nature trail in view of the windows and walking ground within a few minutes on foot, so early and late walks do not mean getting back in the car.
The hosts are the other consistent theme. Guests describe quick, helpful replies before arrival, flexibility over check-in times and practical local advice, including where to leave a car. That last point is the property's one real drawback: there is no parking of its own, the surrounding streets are hard to park on, and the nearest supermarket car park is a few minutes away on foot and has to be booked and paid for. It is all manageable, and the hosts will point you at the streets that are free, but it needs planning rather than luck.
For the rest, the apartment is spacious, well equipped for self-catering and close enough to walk into York for the day and back again. Best suited to owners of a dog of any size who want a quiet, level base within walking distance of the city and are content to sort the parking out in advance.
