We’re Your Base for Adventure
We’re located in the quaint village of Asenby, just six miles from Thirsk. The Crab & Lobster is more than just a place to rest after a day of exploring the Moors.

We provide everything your pet might need during their stay, including a cosy bed and water bowls. Plus, our spacious grounds are perfect for those quick morning or evening walks.
It’s just important to note that while we love hosting dogs, there are some areas of the hotel, such as our main dining room, that are off-limits to pets. However, we have designated dog-friendly dining areas where you can enjoy our award-winning cuisine with your furry companion by your side.
The Best Dog-Friendly Walking Routes
The North Yorkshire Moors are a walker’s paradise, as they offer such a wonderful array of trails that cater to all levels of fitness, both for humans and for canines! So, let’s go ahead and take a look at some of the best dog-friendly walks nearby!
Sutton Bank and the White Horse
This trail is just a short drive away from Crab & Lobster. Sutton Bank offers one of the most iconic views in England. The path along the escapement is relatively easy and well-maintained, which makes this perfect for dogs of all sizes. On top of that, the sweeping views over the Vale of York and the sight of the famous White Horse make this a definite must-visit, too.
Rievaulx Abbey Circular Walk
This walk blends history with nature and beauty, starting right at the impressive ruins of Rievaulx Abbey. The circular route will take you through tranquil woodlands and along the River Rye, where your dog can splash in the water! Plus, there’s a mix of terrain, so it’ll keep both you and your pup fairly entertained.
The Hole of Horcum
This trail is known as the “Devil’s Punchbowl.” This natural amphitheater is a striking feature of the Moors. The walk’s circular nature means that it has some challenging terrain, including some steep sections.
Your dog will love exploring the open heathlands and the chance to encounter some local wildlife. Just please remember to keep your dog on a leash, especially near grazing animals.
