TV and Film Pubs with Rooms
Pubs with rooms you can stay in that appeared on screen, or sit in the villages that did, with how far each claim goes.
Last reviewed October 2026.
Plenty of pubs claim a TV or film connection, and it’s easy to find lists that repeat each other. This guide is stricter: it separates pubs where a named source ties the pub itself to a production from pubs that are simply in the village where something was filmed, and it says so for every entry.
The first six are on the record: they appeared on screen, stood in for a fictional pub, or housed a film crew. The rest are places to stay in the villages and towns that became Darrowby, Portwenn, Happy Valley and Summer Wine country. They’re a good base for a set-jetting weekend, but a pub being in a filming village doesn’t mean it was in the programme.
We haven’t visited, filming locations change, and a fan site and a tourist board will sometimes disagree, so treat anything not marked as a pub’s own claim as worth a second look. Dog policies differ between pubs, so check each pub’s page before you book.
The pub itself is on the record
Port IsaacPhoto: Richard Croft, CC BY-SA 2.0
Port Isaac, Cornwall. The pub used as the Crab & Lobster in Doc Martin and as the local in the film Fisherman's Friends. It sits above the harbour, with three rooms booked direct. The bar is widely reported dog friendly; we couldn't confirm the bedrooms. Sources differ on how much of the interior you see on screen.

Malham, North Yorkshire. Malham Cove was a location for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, filmed in November 2009, and the village's own film and TV page says the crew stayed at the Lister Arms. It has 23 rooms, and dogs are welcome in the bedrooms (£20 a stay) and bar, but not the dining room.

Grassington, North Yorkshire. Grassington played Darrowby in the 2020 All Creatures Great and Small, and the Devonshire stands in for the Drovers Arms. Sources differ on which shots were filmed here and which at the Green Dragon at Hardraw, so we don't claim the interior. Four of its eight rooms are dog friendly (£10 a dog per night) and named after Herriot characters and places, such as Skeldale and Tricki Woo. No car park of its own.
Peckham, Dulwich and Herne HillPhoto: Poliphilo, CC0
Peckham, London. The pub, then called the Wishing Well, was the outside of the Coach & Horses in the 2001 film Last Orders, about friends scattering a butcher's ashes. The interior scenes were shot at a different pub, the Larkhall Tavern in Clapham. It has 15 rooms, about six minutes' walk from Peckham Rye station, and the bar is dog friendly.
GreenwichPhoto: mattbuck, CC BY-SA 4.0
Greenwich, London. The pub's own site and a trade article say it was the Nag's Head in Rock & Chips, the 2010 prequel to Only Fools and Horses. The same article says Frank Sinatra and Kirk Douglas drank here during a 1960s film shoot, which we couldn't confirm. Four basic rooms with a shared bathroom, and the pub warns of occasional noise, with earplugs provided.
Docklands and the Royal DocksPhoto: The wub, CC BY-SA 4.0
Isle of Dogs, London. In the early 1960s Daniel Farson ran it as a music-hall pub, and his TV film Time, Gentlemen Please! was partly shot here. It has seven rooms, about five minutes from Island Gardens DLR station. CAMRA lists it as dog friendly, but we couldn't confirm the bedrooms.
Stay in the place it was filmed
Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. In the town where Last of the Summer Wine was filmed from 1973 to 2010, within a few minutes of the other town-centre pubs. A 21-room inn with parking. Small dogs are allowed in some ground-floor rooms and public areas by prior arrangement.
Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. In the Last of the Summer Wine town, a brewery tap with eight rooms. Two room types are dog friendly (£25 per dog per stay, up to two small dogs). No parking.
Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. In the Last of the Summer Wine town, with four rooms and parking, booked through Booking.com or Hotels.com. CAMRA marks the bar dog friendly, but we haven't seen a written policy.
Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. A short drive up the hill above the town, with 15 rooms and views across the Pennines. The pub says it can accommodate dogs, with no fee published, although some booking sites say no pets.
Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. Hebden Bridge is where most Happy Valley locations are, including Catherine Cawood's house. A 1657 coaching inn with 14 rooms, a short walk from the station. Four rooms are dog friendly with their own front doors.
Heptonstall, near Hebden Bridge. Heptonstall's cemetery is the fictional burial place of Rebecca Cawood in Happy Valley. A 1617 hilltop pub with five rooms, about a mile up a steep hill from Hebden Bridge station. Dogs are welcome in the bar but not listed for the bedrooms.
Mytholmroyd, near Hebden Bridge. Mytholmroyd is one of the Happy Valley locations, where an empty warehouse appears in the story. A former coaching inn with six rooms, about 200 metres from the station. The bar is dog friendly; we couldn't confirm the bedrooms.
Kettlewell, North Yorkshire. The village was a filming location for the 2003 film Calendar Girls. We couldn't confirm that the pub itself appeared. Thirteen rooms and parking, with dogs allowed on request in selected rooms and the bars.
Kettlewell, North Yorkshire. In the Calendar Girls village, with six rooms and parking. We couldn't confirm that the pub itself was used. Dogs are welcome in dog-friendly rooms (£15 a dog per night).
Kettlewell, North Yorkshire. In the Calendar Girls village, with four rooms. We found no source for the pub itself being used. CAMRA marks it dog friendly.
Malham, North Yorkshire. In the village whose cove, Gordale and Janet's Foss have appeared in productions including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and the 2020 All Creatures Great and Small. We found no source for the Buck Inn itself. Eleven rooms, with dogs welcome throughout.
Downham, Lancashire. The village was used for the 1961 film Whistle Down the Wind and for the BBC's Born and Bred, and has no overhead cables or satellite dishes. We found no source for the pub itself being used. Twelve rooms and parking. Dogs are allowed in the bedrooms (£15 a night) and bar.
Holkham, Norfolk. Holkham beach, close by, is where the final scene of Shakespeare in Love was filmed. We found no source for the hotel itself being used. Twenty rooms, with dogs allowed in each room for £15 a night, and at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Whitby, North Yorkshire. In the Dracula town, in the old town with four letting rooms. We found no source for the pub itself. Dogs are welcome in the bar and restaurant, but not the rooms.
Port Isaac, Cornwall. In Doc Martin's Portwenn, a few steps from the slipway. We found no source for the pub itself being used. Seven rooms, no parking. We couldn't find a dog policy.
Questions people ask
How do you decide what counts as a TV or film pub?
There are two tiers, and we say which each pub is in. The first group is pubs where a named source ties the pub itself to a production: it appeared on screen, stood in for a fictional pub, or housed the crew. The second is pubs in a village or town where a production filmed, with no claim that the pub itself was used. Where a source and a pub disagree, or where we found only one source, the note says so.
Is the Golden Lion in Port Isaac filmed inside for Doc Martin?
Sources differ. It's the pub used as the Crab & Lobster in Doc Martin and as the local in the film Fisherman's Friends, and the Fisherman's Friends singers are said to have started singing at the pub on Friday nights. One fan site says most of the interiors in some series were shot in other pubs, and that all the interiors for series 6 were shot at the Golden Lion, so what you see inside varies by series.
Where is the pub from Last of the Summer Wine?
The Kirklees visitor guide says the Summer Wine pub is the White Horse Inn at Jackson Bridge, about two miles from Holmfirth, with its exterior seen in many episodes and its interior recreated in a studio. It isn't one of our pubs with rooms. The four Holmfirth pubs below are in the town where the series was filmed from 1973 to 2010, and we haven't found a source putting any of them on screen.
Where are the Heartbeat and Harry Potter railway pubs?
Goathland, North Yorkshire, was the village of Aidensfield in Heartbeat, where the Goathland Hotel stood in for the Aidensfield Arms, and its station was Hogsmeade in the Harry Potter films. We don't have a pub with rooms listed in Goathland yet, so it isn't in this guide. Malham, in the Dales, is the place to stay for the Harry Potter limestone pavement scenes.
Can you take a dog to these pubs?
Often, but not always. Dogs are allowed in the bedrooms at the Lister Arms and the Buck Inn in Malham, in four rooms at the Devonshire in Grassington, in four rooms at the White Lion in Hebden Bridge, and at the Assheton Arms in Downham and the Victoria at Holkham. They aren't allowed in the rooms at the Black Horse in Whitby. For the rest we couldn't confirm a bedroom policy, so each pub's page says what we found.
