The Lake District is better with a dog. From Forest Side, you can step straight out of the door and into some of the best walking country in England, with Grasmere, Rydal, Loughrigg and the Langdales all waiting to be explored.
Closer to home, there are 43 acres of our own grounds and woodland to discover so there’s plenty of space for a morning wander before breakfast or one last outing at the end of the day.
We have six dog-friendly bedrooms in the north wing of the house and welcome up to two well-behaved dogs per room. We’ll have a bed and bowls waiting for them, along with a few treats to help them feel at home.
If you’re wondering where to walk, just ask. Our team knows the surrounding fells, lakes and valleys well and can point you towards a route to suit you. Whether that’s a gentle circuit from the door or something altogether more ambitious.
Dogs aren’t able to join you in the lounge or restaurant, but we’ll make sure you know everything you need to before your stay.
And for guests who prefer their holidays without dogs, our rooms are thoroughly cleaned between stays – you shouldn’t be able to tell that a four-legged guest has ever been there.
