1 / 8Ravenstone Manor
Keswick, Cumberland
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A former dower house near Bassenthwaite, looking across the valley to Bassenthwaite Lake, where dogs can eat with you in the dining room.
Ravenstone Manor was built as a dower house to command its views, and they still reach west across the valley towards Bassenthwaite Lake, Sale Fell and Lords Seat. Family owned and run, it sits on the mountain side near the village of Bassenthwaite, a short walk from the lake, and it is a dog friendly hotel that welcomes dogs as warmly as their humans.
There is no charge for your dog when you book directly through the website or over the phone, and after a muddy walk there is a dedicated wash station for paws. The hotel doesn't state which bedrooms dogs may use, a maximum number, or whether a dog may stay alone in the room, so settle those with the team when you book. No two rooms are alike, with fine fabrics, pristine linens and plush towels, and the eleven classic doubles all look towards Bassenthwaite Lake and the fells.
Dogs can eat with you in the dining room here, and the Sunday roasts are served in both the restaurant and the bar. The Steak and Corby Blonde pies are made from scratch in the kitchen and won Gold at the British Pie Awards, and hot drinks, scones, muffins and cakes are on all day, because walking is hungry work.
Picture windows and open fires set the mood indoors, and the restaurant terrace is the spot to take in the scenery and plan your next walk. There are plenty of walks to take with your dog straight from the hotel, five Wainwrights among them, and Dodd Summit Trail, Dodd Wood is 1.3 miles away. Allonby Beach, the nearest dog friendly beach Wildpack lists, is 12.3 miles off.
