1 / 8Lancaster House Hotel
Lancaster, Lancashire
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 2 dogs per room.
A four star hotel on the edge of Lancaster, with dogs welcome beside you in the Bowland Lounge for the full Foodworks menu.
On the edge of the historic city of Lancaster, near the university campus, Lancaster House Hotel is a stylish four star hotel with the Trough of Bowland, the Lune Valley and the coastline all within easy reach. This dog friendly hotel is happy for dogs to join you in most areas, which makes it an easy base for days out together.
Your room can take up to two dogs, and they must not be left unattended. The hotel doesn't say which of its 79 contemporary bedrooms take dogs, so mention yours when you book. Classic rooms come with comfy beds, crisp Egyptian cotton linen and a choice of pillows, while the Luxury Studio Suites add Super King beds and a separate lounge area.
Dogs aren't allowed in The Foodworks Restaurant itself, but the hotel will seat you and your dog in the adjacent Bowland Lounge and serve you from the full Foodworks menu. That menu showcases Lancashire produce, with traditional regional classics such as lamb hotpot beside new, imaginative dishes. The hotel's dog note doesn't mention The Sandeman Bar, where light meals and pub classics are served through the day by an open fire, so ask before settling in there with your dog.
The hotel holds ECOsmart Gold accreditation, and its Sandpiper Health Club has a 15 metre indoor pool, a sauna, a steam room and an outdoor hot tub on decking overlooking the Lancashire countryside, though dogs aren't allowed in the club. Galgate and the Lancaster Canal Walk is 0.9 miles from the hotel, and the beach nearest on Wildpack's dog friendly map, Heysham Beach (Half Moon Bay), is 5.2 miles away.
