Cartmel Old Grammar

Cartmel, Westmorland and Furness

Yes. Dogs can stay in 4 dog friendly rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A Georgian country house in the village of Cartmel, where dogs have tables in The Refectory Restaurant and the gardens for a wander.

Four of the 12 individually designed bedrooms at Cartmel Old Grammar take dogs: one ground floor Comfy room and three upstairs Grand rooms. The Grand rooms look over the manicured garden and neighbouring Cartmel Racecourse. The hotel is a Georgian country house in the village of Cartmel, on the southern edge of the Lake District, and this dog friendly hotel welcomes dogs in its gardens, restaurant and reception area.

Dogs up to medium size are welcome, two at most, and the hotel provides bowls, treats and a clean dog bed. Book your dog in when you reserve, as dogs are limited to the four rooms set aside for them, and keep dogs on leads at all times. Time alone in the room for your dog is a point to settle at booking, as the hotel doesn't say.

Dog friendly tables in The Refectory Restaurant mean your dog can settle beside you over lunch or dinner, and the gardens are there for fresh air and a wander afterwards. The Refectory cooks local produce into dishes inspired by the surrounding Lake District, served inside or out on the terrace, and a full continental and cooked to order breakfast is included with every overnight stay.

Afternoon tea is served overlooking the manicured gardens, and the hotel is surrounded by Cartmel Racecourse, acclaimed restaurants and centuries-old woodlands. With your dog, Hampsfell Hospice from Grange-over-Sands is 2.2 miles away, and Wildpack puts Silverdale Cove, its nearest dog friendly beach, 5.4 miles from the door.
