Oh look, there I am looking all Downton Abbey like when really I was just trying to figure out which of those rooms they keep all the food in.
Gisborough Hall Hotel is dog-friendly and near the small town of Guisborough (not a typo - One of the early hotel owners was granted the title of Lord Gisborough and he decided this spelling to be historically correct. Hey, I'm not about to argue with a Lord, even a dead one). The hotel is situated  near the North Yorkshire coast and the very scenic North York Moors National Park.

I went there a couple of weeks ago for an overnight stay with the human, and young humans. We were greeted very well and escorted to our room and helped with the bags by a very nice man who explained all about the rooms, etc.  They obviously knew I was coming as they had laid out the red carpet.
 I was provided with a bowl, Biscuits (woof! 5 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾and was not shy about making short work of those biscuits.

The Human liked the room. It had a country feel, was spacious, with a large bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable (apparently). The grounds were very nice and there were Llamas right by the entrance to the hotel, which the little humans enjoyed seeing. There was a wedding party that night but there was no sound of it in our room. In fact, it is a great venue for a wedding - the grounds are lovely and the scenery beyond too.

Just after arrival we decided to take the little humans to the nearby seaside town of Saltburn. The beach there is dog-friendly and there were donkey rides, a row of shops selling all sort of goodies and food. Its popular with surfers, so felt a bit like being in Cornwall. Parking was right by the sea too.



I'll tell you something about the sea air, it sure does make a dog hungry. The little humans were hungry too after a while so we headed back to Gisborough Hall for some food. There is a lovely terrace to sit and eat on but we preferred to sit indoors as the little humans wanted to run around too much. Like, haven't they been trained to "Stay"?


Next day's breakfast was a buffet with also a choice of cooked breakfast. It was very good, according to the human, who had porridge with mixed berries and nuts. NOT A SAUSAGE FOR ME! She did bring me some bacon so I didn't huff for long.


We really had a good time at Gisborough Hall. The only problem was our stay was too short to try out the spa or have a proper evening meal in their fine restaurant. Next time.

After checkout we headed to another dog friendly beach at Marske by the sea with miles and miles of golden sand. That was fun. For a while I thought I was in California.
Must do this all again soon. Woof!
