Pubs with rooms in the North York Moors
By Jon Cosson · Updated 17 October 2026
50 pubs in this guide are recorded as having rooms. The list distinguishes dogs in the pub from dogs in bedrooms, and includes room and breakfast notes only where the pub records state them. Confirm availability and any specific access needs before booking.
This guide is independent. No pub pays to be listed, and nothing is ranked. Pubs are grouped by area and ordered alphabetically by village and name. An absent detail means it is not stated in the records.

Choosing an inn to stay at
The areas in the list cover the high moors, the southern edge, the coast and the western moors. Choose your base around the places you want to visit and whether you need a station nearby, a dog-friendly bedroom or accessible accommodation.
