Four legs and fur? They’re just as welcome as their owners. The choice of dog-friendly accommodations in the Lake District, Cumbria is second to none, we really are the canine capital of the country – from small, family-owned guesthouses to modern hotels. What they all have in common is their ability to cater for man’s best friend: the range of pawsome doggy extras range from towels for muddy paws after a day out of the fells, bowls and treats to dog beds and even doggie dining rooms. Some accommodation even offer dog-sitting if you want some dog-free dining at your favourite restaurant. Speaking of which, don't forget to check out our list of dog-friendly places to eat.
Share your Lake District doggy adventures on our social media channels and you could appear in our Dogs Love Cumbria guide next year! Download our latest guide here.
You may leave the Lake District, but once you’ve been, it’ll never leave you.
