1 / 8Glaramara Hotel
Borrowdale Valley, Cumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
An independently owned hotel in Seatoller at the southern end of Borrowdale, with dedicated dog friendly rooms and fell walks that start from the door.
At the southern end of the Borrowdale Valley, in the hamlet of Seatoller, Glaramara Hotel has commanding views of the local fells and is named after one of them. It is an independently owned hotel with car-free access to some of the Lake District's well-known mountains, Scafell Pike and Great Gable among them, so for a walking holiday with your dog it makes a dog friendly hotel where every day can start on foot.
Dogs stay in dedicated dog friendly rooms, which are set aside in limited numbers and subject to conditions, and they're available on request: call reception to check availability. There are 25 double or twin rooms and eight singles, all en suite, and the rooms at the front look out over the Borrowdale Fells. Glaramara doesn't mention a dog limit per room, nor whether a dog may be left alone there, so raise both when you call.
Glaramara's pages don't say whether dogs can come into the bar, the lounge or the restaurant, so check before you go. Dinner for residents is three courses in the restaurant, freshly prepared from local ingredients and served in portions made for a hard day on the fells, with coffee and homemade chocolate in the lounge to finish. At lunchtime the bar menu runs to a Ploughmans Lunch and home made Scotch eggs with chutney, with locally brewed real ales by the log fire.
Outside, a wrap around terrace takes in the views, and the hotel sits next to the Coast to Coast Walk. Dog walks can start on foot from the hotel, Wildpack's Haystacks from Gatesgarth is 3.3 miles away, and Seascale Beach, 15.3 miles from the hotel, completes the picture as Wildpack's nearest dog friendly beach.
