Who runs this guide

Hi, I'm Tom. I'm happiest outdoors: walking the dales and riverside paths of the North East, exploring the countryside, and finishing the day somewhere with a fire and a good pint.

Being out with the dogs is one of the best things there is. A long walk with your best friend at your side takes some beating. But one question always comes up at the end of it: can the dogs come in?

Most guides just say "dog friendly" and leave you to find out the rest at the door. So I started this one. Every listing says exactly where dogs can go, shows where that information came from, and when it was last checked.

North East With Dogs is independent. It's not a booking agency and nobody pays to be listed. If a dog-friendly place you love is missing, or something has changed, tell me through the contact form. Reviews from dog owners help everyone, so add yours on any listing.
