1 / 8Gosforth Hall Inn
Gosforth, Cumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A 17th century inn in Gosforth village in the western Lake District, with dog rooms in the Annex and a bar and beer garden where dogs are welcome.
Gosforth Hall Inn was originally built in 1658, and the listed hall in the heart of Gosforth village keeps its sandstone walls and oak beams. Close to Wastwater and Scafell Pike, this dog friendly inn has a welcoming bar, with three or four real ales on at any one time and a Mediterranean beer garden your dog is welcome in too.
The hotel has dog friendly rooms in the Annex, and two dogs at most may share one of them. Rooms at the rear of the Annex look out over the countryside and the fells beyond, and there is a wheelchair friendly room on the ground floor there. The inn's pages don't mention whether a dog can be left unattended in your room, so raise that when you book.
Dogs are welcome in the bar and in the beer garden. Gosforth Hall does not state whether dogs may come into the lounge or where the two of you can eat together, so ask when you book. The cooking runs to pub classics, from chicken melts and lasagne to rib eye steaks and the inn's homemade pies, with daily specials and a Chocolate Indulgence for sharing.
In the main building, the Copley Suite takes up the whole south wing of the top floor. Blengdale Forest, a short distance from the hall, has forest paths and riverside walking, and the hotel recommends the coast for flat wanders with four legged guests. Seascale Beach, 2.8 miles from the inn and the closest on Wildpack's list of dog friendly beaches, can be reached on foot along the Viking Way.
