1 / 8Cuckoo Brow Inn
Far Sawrey, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A four star inn in Far Sawrey, between Windermere and Hawkshead, where the bar and grounds welcome dogs, and the bar sells Sir Woofchester dog meals.
Cuckoo Brow Inn stands in the heart of the quiet village of Far Sawrey, between Lake Windermere and Hawkshead, a pleasant stroll from Hill Top, the former home of Beatrix Potter. Inside are real ales and open log fires, and this dog friendly inn welcomes dogs in the bar and across the grounds.
Dogs stay in designated pet friendly rooms among the 14 en-suite bedrooms, up to two to a room, and the inn asks you to mention your dog when you book. Fresh water bowls and treats are there on request, but bring your dog's own bed or blanket, as dogs aren't allowed on the beds or furniture. A dog can't be left unattended in the room at any time, and in the public areas the house asks for a well behaved, house-trained dog on a lead. Dog bins in the grounds make tidying up easy.
Sir Woofchester dog meals are sold at the bar, which is where your dog can settle beside you over a pint from the changing line of local real ales. Whether a dog may sit with you at a restaurant table is something the hotel doesn't say, so ask before you book one. The kitchen cooks hearty food with produce from local Lake District producers, and breakfast comes with your stay: a buffet, then anything from a full Cumbrian breakfast to fluffy pancakes.
Superior rooms come with a freestanding roll top bath and views across Lakeland countryside. Reception keeps details of dog friendly walks and attractions, and the nearest on Wildpack's map are close: Claife Heights and Windermere Western Shore is 0.6 miles away, and Esthwaite Water Circular Walk is 1.3 miles away.
