Dog Friendly Cottages in the Lake District

Scenic escapes and tail-wagging adventures

With its mountain views, glistening lakes and endless trails, the Lake District is a playground for adventurous pups and their humans. From lakeside strolls to pub lunches in charming villages, it's the perfect setting for a dog-friendly holiday.

Our dog-friendly cottages in the Lake District include cosy stone barns, countryside retreats and stylish boltholes close to all the best walks. Many have enclosed gardens, wood-burning fires and even hot tubs, so you can unwind in comfort after a day out on the fells.

Why choose a dog-friendly holiday in the Lake District?

The Lake District National Park is one of the UK's most dog-welcoming destinations. Not only is the scenery spectacular, but most pubs, boats and attractions are happy to see four paws through the door.

You'll find endless walking routes for all abilities – from gentle lakeside paths to challenging summits – along with dog-friendly cafés and pet-loving locals. Whether you're relaxing by Windermere, discovering hidden tarns or hiking up Helvellyn, the Lakes offers something special for every breed and energy level.

Best dog-friendly walks in the Lake District

  • Tarn Hows – a beautiful circular walk near Coniston with wide paths and gentle gradients. Ideal for relaxed walkies with plenty of photo ops.
  • Catbells – a manageable mini-mountain near Keswick with rewarding views over Derwentwater. Dogs love the varied terrain and off-lead freedom.
  • Buttermere lake walk – an easy loop around one of the prettiest lakes in the area. There are plenty of dog-friendly pubs nearby, too.
  • Grizedale Forest – miles of woodland trails to explore. Great for off-lead adventures (with good recall!) and includes several sculpture trails.
  • Aira Force waterfall – a short, scenic trail with stone bridges, woodland paths and a dramatic waterfall. Dogs on leads are welcome.

Dog-friendly activities and attractions

When you're ready to take a break from the trails, here are a few dog-friendly experiences not to miss:

  • 🚤 Lake cruises – dogs are welcome aboard most Windermere, Derwentwater and Ullswater steamers. A relaxing way to see the sights.
  • 🏛 Rydal Mount and Gardens – the former home of William Wordsworth, with lovely dog-friendly grounds and trails.
  • 🌲 Whinlatter Forest Park – forest trails, picnic spots and an outdoor café that's perfect for dogs and their owners.
