1 / 8Inn on the Lake
Glenridding, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A lakeside hotel in Glenridding on Ullswater, where dogs can join you in the Orangery and the Ramblers Bar, with dog beds and bowls on request.
Inn on the Lake stands in 15 acres of landscaped grounds in Glenridding, with lawns sweeping down to the Ullswater lakeshore and most of its 44 rooms looking out over the lake or towards the Helvellyn range. The hotel says it understands dogs are part of the family, and as a dog friendly hotel it has thought about the practical side, from where your dog sleeps to how thoroughly rooms are cleaned once a dog has stayed.
Dog beds and bowls are available on request, so there is no need to fill the car with your dog's kit, and you add your dog as an extra when you book online. Rooms come with Sealy beds, crisp white linen and 24 hour room service. Two things the hotel does not say are the number of dogs allowed per room and whether a dog can be left on its own there, so ask about both before you travel.
Dogs aren't allowed in the Lake View Restaurant, but the hotel is more than happy for you to eat with your dog in its dog friendly areas, at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Dogs are welcome in the Orangery, which has a 360 degree view of the lake and fells, serves afternoon tea, and is lit by a blazing fire and twinkling candles in the evening. The Ramblers Bar welcomes dogs too, with traditional pub meals for a less formal night.
Out on the terrace there are over 90 dining spaces, with views across the landscaped gardens to the lake. When your dog is ready for the fells, Wildpack's Grisedale Tarn and Helvellyn from Patterdale is 0.9 miles away, and Aira Force and Ullswater Viewpoints is 2 miles away.
