1 / 8Crown & Cushion
Appleby, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A Cumbrian pub with rooms on the main street of Appleby-in-Westmorland, where dogs are welcome in every part of the pub and have their own doggy menu.
On the main street of Appleby-in-Westmorland, beside Low Cross and the church, the Crown & Cushion is the pub the town calls the Cushion. Its traditional bar pours lagers, cask and craft ales. This dog friendly inn keeps things easy: well behaved four legged friends are welcome in all areas of the pub. It wouldn't be a proper Cumbrian pub, it reckons, without a few of them.
Muddy paws are part of the welcome, so a dog back from a long walk is as at home here as one that simply fancies a trip to its favourite local. The three pub rooms are on the first floor, each a twin or a double with an en-suite shower room, and The Loft on the second floor sleeps up to six, with its own lounge area. On the number of dogs you can bring, the Crown & Cushion's own pages do not say, so ask when you book.
Your dog can join you for dinner, and the kitchen has its very own doggy menu, so your companion gets a little something while you tuck into yours. Food is home cooked British pub cooking, served every day from breakfast to evening, with locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, a proper Sunday roast with all the trimmings and homemade scones with a pot of tea. Walk-ins are always welcome.
Appleby's Norman castle is 500 yards up the hill, the river Eden is nearby for leisurely walks, and the Pennines and the Lake District are within easy reach. For a bigger day out with the dog, Wildpack's High Cup Nick from Dufton is 2.9 miles away.
