1 / 8Inn on the Square
Keswick, Cumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay in most rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A four star hotel on Market Square in Keswick, where dogs stay in 25 of the 34 rooms and join you in the bars and lounge all day.
Inn on the Square sits on Market Square in central Keswick, a family-owned four star hotel that mixes modern Scandinavian design with a love for all things Cumbrian. The team love a good dog, so this is a dog friendly hotel with the shops, the sweet shops and Derwentwater, a 10 minute wander through the town, all within reach.
Dogs can stay in 25 of the 34 bedrooms, up to two to a room, and a dog bed and a bowl are yours on request. For muddy paws there is what the hotel cheerfully calls its dog spa at the side entrance: a hose pipe and dry towels for a quick clean before you head back to your room. Before you plan an evening out, ask the team about time apart from your dog: the hotel doesn't say if dogs may be left alone in your room.
Your dog can join you for food and drinks all day long in the chic Front Bar, the comfy lounge and the relaxed Back Bar, though dogs aren't allowed in Brossen Steakhouse. The menus lean on local Cumbrian produce for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the lounge bar is the place for a tasty bite.
The 13 Herdwick bedrooms each have a wall dedicated to the local sheep and views over Keswick towards Latrigg and Skiddaw, and the beds are built by local Cumbrian craftsmen. Of the Wildpack walks for your dog, Latrigg Summit Walk from Keswick is 1.4 miles away, and Cat Bells is 2.6 miles off.
