Dog friendly holiday cottages in the Lake District

When it comes to walking holidays with the pooch by your side, it’s tough to beat the dramatic landscapes of the Lake District. One of North England’s astonishingly beautiful National Parks, the Lake District boasts a myriad of incredible scenes just waiting to be discovered, from the shimmering depths of the many lakes to the towering fells that line them. Lake Windermere is renowned for its lake activities, while Grassmere beckons for those who love nothing more than a traditional slab of gingerbread - the perfect fuel for your next stomp.

With such an incredible landscape on offer, it’s of little surprise that the Lakes have inspired many creative works, from the charming writings of Beatrix Potter to the lyrical words of William Wordsworth. Visit one of the fascinating museums and former homes to gain a deeper understanding of these literary masterminds or head to one of the other remarkable museums, which look at everything from marine travel to pencils! Home to a mouth-watering collection of local pubs and cosy cafés, finish your day in true Cumbrian style with a hearty feast of sausage and mash before returning to your welcoming dog-friendly cottage for an evening by the fire.
