1 / 8The Crown Inn
Coniston, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A traditional Cumbrian inn in the centre of Coniston, with rooms set aside for dogs, hearty Cumbrian breakfasts and walks right on the doorstep.
Thirteen en suite bedrooms, a beer garden and walks from the doorstep: The Crown Inn is a traditional Cumbrian inn in the centre of Coniston village, in the heart of the English Lake District. The team welcomes muddy boots and muddy paws alike, which makes this a dog friendly inn for anyone who has come to Coniston to relax, ramble or take in the landscape.
Dogs stay in a number of the rooms, though not in the Ensuite King rooms, and they need to be booked in: the inn can't let a dog stay if it wasn't pre-booked before arrival. The rooms were recently refurbished, with an espresso machine and fresh milk in the bedroom fridge, and the Ensuite King and Family rooms are individually styled. The Crown doesn't state a limit on dogs per room, or say if a dog can be left alone there, so raise both when you book.
Breakfast is cooked fresh to order every morning, from porridge oats to Cumbrian classics, to set you up for the fells. Later on the kitchen turns to traditional pub classics and Cumbrian favourites made with fresh Cumbrian produce, from the Old Man of Coniston sharing board to a Lakes Cumberland sausage. The inn doesn't state whether dogs can be with you at mealtimes, so check that before you sit down to eat.
On a day off the fells, Coniston Boating Centre hires out boats and bikes for getting out on Coniston Water. The dog's walking starts at the doorstep: Wildpack's Coniston Old Man via Goat's Water walk is 1 mile away, and Haverigg Beach, nearest of the dog friendly beaches Wildpack lists, is 14.9 miles from the inn.
