Dog-friendly Cragwood Country House Hotel, Cumbria

Overview

Nestled on the shores of Lake Windermere, England’s longest and most beautiful lake, you will find Cragwood Country House Hotel, a superb dog-friendly destination in the heart of the Lake District. Built-in 1910 as a private home, Cragwood is set within its own secluded twenty-acre estate of stunning, landscaped gardens and woodland - an absolute playground for dogs! The property still retains many of its original decorative arts and crafts features, including an oak-panelled hall and lounge. Rest your head in one of the charming individually designed bedrooms and enjoy the lake views. From the comfy beds and crisp linen to the deep baths, aromatic toiletries and fluffy towels, all bedrooms have been designed with no-one else but you in mind. The stunning backdrop of Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells make the 2 AA Rosette-awarded Cragwood Restaurant the perfect place to enjoy a fine dining experience. You can dine with your pooch in the cosy bar or lounge area by special arrangement, and there is an abundance of pet-friendly pubs nearby if you fancy venturing out for food. With Lake Windermere on your doorstep, it’s hard to resist a relaxing Lake District break at Cragwood with your canine companion. Take a dog-friendly cruise along Windermere, England’s longest lake, provided by Windermere Lake Cruises and enjoy the fabulous views. The hotel also provides maps for Wansfell and Troutbeck walks for further exploring with your trusty hound.

Has to be the direct access down to Lake Windermere - perfect for cooling off in the summer by splashing about on the shore!
