Seacote Hotel, a dog friendly coastal hotel in St Bees1 / 8

Seacote Hotel

St Bees, Cumberland

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A family owned seafront hotel at St Bees, where the road ends at the sea and dogs can join you for a bar meal in a lounge.

At the edge of St Bees village the road to the Seacote Hotel ends at the sea, on the West Cumbrian Coast at the edge of the Lake District National Park. Family owned, with a homely, traditional welcome, this is a dog friendly hotel beside the beach, and on Wildpack's map the closest dog friendly beach is St Bees Beach, just 0.1 miles off.

Dogs stay in the hotel's dog friendly rooms, and pet friendly rooms with their own outside access and a lounge area are available. A bowl is supplied for your dog. Across the 70 bedrooms, the superior rooms are recently refurbished, and many of the superior doubles and twins have sea views. The hotel does not state how many dogs may share a room, nor if a dog can stay unattended in it, so it is worth asking at booking.

Your dog can join you for a relaxed bar meal in one of the lounges, and dogs are most welcome in the hotel bars too, where there is pool, darts and local ale on tap. The chefs like to put a twist on pub classics, with fish and chips and lasagne among the traditional favourites and locally caught fresh fish often on the specials board. Headland's restaurant is the more formal room, with views over the headland, and the hotel serves a Sunday carvery.

Mornings start with a full English breakfast, freshly prepared by the chefs, and there is regular evening entertainment. The hotel borders the mile long beach and the headlands of St Bees, and it is well placed for exploring the western lakes and fells with your dog.
