Dog-friendly cottages in Sandsend

Discover the perfect coastal escape with our collection of dog-friendly cottages in Sandsend. This pretty seaside village has a prime location on the Yorkshire Coast that’s just 3 miles from Whitby with the countryside of the North York Moors on your doorstep. At low tide, you can walk with dogs almost the entire way between Sandsend and Whitby along the beach before tackling the famous 199 Steps up to Whitby Abbey and returning via the clifftop Cleveland Way.

There’s more to Sandsend than the beach, too. Head a little further inland and you’ll find Sandsend Beck flowing through the village, where pups can enjoy a cooling dip.

There are also some great dog-friendly places to eat while staying in Sandsend including The Wits End Café which comes with its own walled garden and The Fish Cottage where you can tuck into the seasonal catch of the day, which includes coley, plaice, cod, dab and ling, with four-legged friends by your side.  

After a day spent on the beach or enjoying a scenic walk, head back to your pet-friendly Sandsend accommodation for a cosy evening together. Many of our hand-picked holiday homes come with dog-friendly features such as enclosed gardens for secure play, walks from the front door and wood-burners to keep toes and paws toasty and warm.

Explore the North York Moors and Yorkshire Coast from Sandsend

A dog-friendly holiday home in Sandsend is perfectly placed for exploring North Yorkshire’s heritage coastline and the North York Moors National Park.

Head south along the coast past Whitby to reach the maze of alleyways at Robin Hood’s Bay, where there’s a dog-friendly beach for sandy fun. Or walk 4.5 miles north to Runswick Bay, where red-roofed houses seem to cling to the cliffs. Not only will you and your dog get some bracing sea air as you stretch your legs, but you can also enjoy spectacular views across the North Sea.
