Dog friendly cottages in the Lake District

1,504 of the 2,629 places to stay in the Lake District take dogs, and 1,120 say they do not.

A further 5 say nothing either way, so those are worth a phone call before you rule them out.

How many dogs

How many dogs is the question most listings leave you to discover at the point of booking.

  • Up to one dog 511 properties

  • Up to three dogs 112 properties
  • Up to four dogs 32 properties
  • Up to five dogs 6 properties
  • Up to six dogs 1 property
  • Welcome, no number given 121 properties

501 of the 1,504 also list an enclosed outdoor space, which is the difference between a garden you can let a dog into and one you cannot.

Dogs on the hill

23 of the 31 walks and viewpoints in the Lake District say whether dogs are allowed. For the rest, check with the landowner before you set out, particularly in lambing season.

Access rules for dogs are not the same in Scotland as in England and Wales, and some of them change with the season. The Countryside Code, published jointly by Natural England and Natural Resources Wales, covers England and Wales. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code, which NatureScot has a duty to keep under review, covers Scotland. Read the one for where you are walking before you go.
