Pawfect Retreats at Dog-Friendly Accommodation in The Lake District
As dog owners, many of us dread having to leave our four-legged friends behind when we go on holiday; however, UK staycations have become much easier with more and more dog–friendly hotels in the Lake District and beyond. The Inn Collection Group’s inns are no exception to this, with dedicated amenities for our pooch pals, making them one of the best options for dog-friendly accommodation in the Lake District.
At The Inn Collection Group, we understand that dogs are members of the family too, and we want them to be able to experience the beautiful locations and special moments that come with being on holiday with you. Especially with some of the most beautiful locations in the UK being perfect for long dog walks!
Harriet Tuite recently travelled to our dog-friendly hotel in the Lake District, The Coniston Inn, with her dog Wilson. She praised the experience “Dog sitters can come to between £30-£50 a day if you want them to be in the home, and since Wilson is quite anxious I wouldn’t want to put him in kennels. Because of this, I've never been able to go away without feeling like I'm inconveniencing friends and family, and since we were going away to the countryside it would have felt so unfair - it’s the perfect place for a dog!"
"Dogs were welcome in the lobby, restaurant and bar so we didn’t just have to leave him in the room - there were also dog treats and water bowls everywhere, the waiter even gave him (Wilson) some leftover sausages, which was such a lovely gesture it made the trip for us. Our hotel had a huge, enclosed grass area that was away from busy roads which meant all the dogs could enjoy the sunny weather and have a runaround, which meant we could kick back and relax with no concerns at all."
All of The Inn Collection Group’s inns have dog sections in our in-house restaurants, alongside a Doggy Menu available so they don’t feel left out, facilities to wash off muddy pooches and locations where some of the UK’s best walks are.*
We charge a £15 per night supplement fee if you’d like to stay in one of our pet-friendly rooms, which covers the charge of the special cleaning the rooms have to undergo after a visit from a furry friend.

In partnership with Sir Woofchesters Canine Hospitality, your pooches can enjoy a gourmet meal alongside your own. The menu includes smaller treat pots, which include ‘Bark Burkers’ which are beef patties with cheese, ‘Bark Bangers’ which are mini chicken sausages and ‘Sunday Roast’ which are lamb and mint bones, a perfect treat whilst enjoying your meal at the in-house restaurants at The Inn Collection Group’s dog-friendly hotels.
