Bringing your dog

As fellow dog owners of Seth, a Husky Collie cross and Laska a Siberian Husky, we felt that we just had to allow dogs at The Old Wash Kitchen, not least because of the abundance of walks which we know you'll love to enjoy with your canine companions but also because of the sheer number of dog friendly shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants in the local area who love to cater for you and your furry friends.

The nearest ones to the cottage are less than a 5 - 10 minute walk away.

The Stumble Inn, at Hinchliffe Mill, a traditional but friendly local, is only 150 yards away and The Pickled Pheasant at Holmbridge is less than a 10 minute walk away. As The Pickled Pheasant is a popular dog friendly eatery it is advisable to book.

Holmfirth Vineyard is a 10 minute walk away and here you can dine whilst taking in the glorious views and book a tour of the vineyard too.

The Fleece Inn at Holme is around 30 - 40 minutes walk away, or a 4 minute drive away, and is perfect to stop for lunch after a walk around the numerous reservoirs in the area. They also have a small store which serves sandwiches if you fancy a quick bite.
