1 / 8Mary Mount Hotel
Keswick, Cumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A lakeside hotel on the shores of Derwentwater near Keswick, where every dog gets a sausage at breakfast and there are treats waiting in the bar.
Mary Mount began as an arts and crafts building with just 14 rooms, and today it is a family-run hotel steps from the shores of Derwentwater and close to Borrowdale's walking trails, with the lake launch stopping next door. It is a dog friendly hotel where you can leave the car and head out on foot from the front door, then come back to panoramic views of the lake and Catbells from the fireside.
Well-behaved, friendly dogs are welcome, and you can leave your dog unattended in the room; the hotel asks only that you're confident they won't become stressed somewhere new. Dogs aren't allowed on the furniture or beds, so pack a comfortable bed of their own. The hotel doesn't state a number for dogs per room, so raise it before you travel.
The bar, the lounge and the Conservatory are all open to dogs, with free treats in the bar and water bowls around the public areas, and every dog gets a tasty sausage at breakfast. In the main restaurant they can't linger, though they may pass through. Scones, muffins and cakes are on all day, dinner leans on local ingredients and a daily specials board, and the Sunday roast comes with Yorkshire puds.
Many of the rooms look out over the lake towards Catbells and Skiddaw, and if you're lucky you may spot a red squirrel. When your dog is ready for the fells, Wildpack lists Cat Bells 1.2 miles from the hotel and the Latrigg Summit Walk from Keswick at 3.9 miles.
