We stayed at The Inn South Stainley from the 21st Feb till 23rd Feb, on arrival our booking did not state that we had a dog with us, so the duty manager had to do a little jiggling around to put us in a dog friendly room, even tho I had booked with a dog.. however it worked out better for us as no stairs to climb, the room we were in was very clean and comfortable,it was seperate from the main hotel part, however the gardens surrounding us were well kept, with a balcony area with seating and a table, there was a tented seating area with a patio heater and lots of seating and tables underneath, would be fabulous in the warmer weather, even had a doggy bed and water bowl for our jack russell, she was allowed to come and dine with us on the first evening and also breakfast, which was great, have stayed in places before and dogs weren't allowed in dining rooms. The food was very good, and ample selection from the breakfast menu and buffet table, the staff were excellent, very friendly and pleasant.
The hotel is central to visit areas around, Harrogate, Ripon, Knaresbourough
