From thriving market towns to historic villages, you’ll find dog-friendly hotels scattered all over – with plenty of dog-friendly pubs, restaurants and cafes too. Never visited before or just not sure where to go? Here are our must-visit spots:
There are plenty of dog-friendly hotels in the Lake District but some of the most popular include The Swan Hotel and Spa, The Ro Hotel Windermere and The Ambleside Inn.
If you’re looking for a hotel with a swimming pool, we recommend Windermere Manor Hotel, Hillthwaite Hotel or the Glenridding Hotel.
Haweswater Hotel and Damson Dene Hotel both have incredible views in the Lake District.
This depends on the hotel you choose but usually dogs get a dog bed, water bowls and treats and owners will be right at home with en-suite accommodation, comfy double beds and tea and coffee making facilities.
Again, this depends on the hotel you choose but if you have a budget in mind we can tailor our recommendations.
