You can bring your four-legged friends to stay with you at selected Exclusive Hire properties and many of our Camping & Cabins sites. Dogs are welcome in all YHA cafés too, so you can look forward to light bites accompanied by puppy dog eyes from beneath the table.
Take a look at these dog-friendly places to stay. With dog-friendly accommodation this comfortable, you’ll be happy to let sleeping dogs lie… in.
Exclusive Hire
If you’re taking the whole hostel to yourself on Exclusive Hire, it costs £30 per dog for the duration of your stay. Simply add a dog to your booking at the checkout and bring them along with you.
YHA Ninebanks
A stay in this former mineworkers’ property at the top of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty means looking forward to ruggedly beautiful day walks. Our warm and atmospheric location is surrounded by wild moorland, lead-mining industrial archaeology and secluded valleys. Take a hike to the two Allendale chimneys which sit high on the fells. You can still see inside the old brick-built flues here and there. This place is also great for access to Hadrian’s Wall and Northumberland National Park.

YHA Okehampton Bracken Tor (Partner)
Nestled within woodlands on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, YHA Okehampton Bracken Tor (Partner) is set within four acres of landscaped grounds. Ideally situated within walking distance of Okehampton town, with direct access to Dartmoor and the granite way cycle path, the venue is perfect for those looking for a relaxing retreat. Take your pick from the two buildings available for hire – a recently converted, arts and crafts detached house and a beautiful, adapted hunting lodge.
YHA Street
One of our most popular dog-friendly accommodation spots is YHA Street. This quirky and cute Swiss-style wooden chalet is paw-fectly positioned for memorable walkies around the Mendip Hills, Somerset Levels and Glastonbury Tor. The 525ft conical hill of Glastonbury Tor is four miles away. Dogs are welcome at this National Trust-managed landmark and (according to Pagan belief) home of the King of the Fairies.

Camping & Cabins
It’s free to bring your pooch if you’re pitching your own tent at one of our campsites. If you opt for one of our glamping options, there is a £5 charge per dog, per night (payable on arrival).
YHA Hawkshead
The Lake District just screams dog friendly. With plenty of outdoor space to let your pooch run wild, book a glamping stay at YHA Hawkshead. From the hostel, walk to Low Loanthwaite and then through woodland and meadows, skirting around the top of Blelham Tarn, and finally on to Wray Castle – a mock-Gothic castle on the shore of Windermere. It’s a 5(ish) mile round trip and a great way to wear out your wolf. Choose from bell tents, cabins, camping pods and tipis!
