1 / 8The Angel Inn
Bowness-on-Windermere, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
An inn above Bowness-on-Windermere with sweeping views over the lake, where dogs share the beer garden and designated areas of the pub with you.
Sweeping panoramas over Windermere open out from The Angel Inn in Bowness-on-Windermere, a short stroll from the shores of the lake. Take a seat in the spacious pub garden and the village bustle hums away below, at a dog friendly inn that is well placed for exploring the Lake District.
A selection of the rooms take dogs, and booking direct lets up to two of them come with you. The cosy doubles, superior doubles and Junior Suites are not pet friendly, so pick your room with that in mind. The inn asks that you never leave a dog unattended in the bedroom while you're staying.
Out in the beer garden, with its spectacular views, your dog is welcome to join you, and indoors the pub has its own designated dog friendly areas, with bowls of water and treats to hand. The inn is open every day for hearty pub food and drinks that celebrate Cumbria.
The World of Beatrix Potter is just around the corner from the inn. For a walk with your dog, Wildpack's reckoning puts Esthwaite Water Circular Walk 3 miles from the inn and Grizedale Forest Red Squirrel Trail 4.6 miles.
