1 / 8The Crown Inn, Pooley Bridge
Pooley Bridge, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
An inn at the northern tip of Ullswater in Pooley Bridge, where dogs can join you in the restaurant and settle by the fire in the bar.
Leave the car keys on the bedside table and pull on your walking boots: from The Crown Inn, in the heart of Pooley Bridge at the northern tip of Ullswater, the Ullswater Way is there to enjoy straight from the door. Set beside the River Eamont, the inn pairs home-cooked food made from scratch with modern boutique bedrooms, and dogs are always welcome at this dog friendly inn.
Some of the rooms include a cushion and water bowl for your dog, so let the inn know when you book and it will do its best to accommodate you both. A share of the dog charge goes to the Lake District Search and Rescue Dogs Association. Dog numbers per room, and leaving one behind in it while you're out, are two points the inn doesn't mention, so settle both before you arrive.
Dogs are allowed in the restaurant, which overlooks the River Eamont, and in the bar, where they're welcome to settle down in front of the fire. The chefs cook everything fresh from local produce, with a changing menu and specials on offer each day, and the bar area has open fires and a great atmosphere for a pint after the fells.
The Character Rooms look out over the village or the river, and the feature room has views over Ullswater and the fells beyond, with a stand alone bath and a generous living area. For the dog, the closest Wildpack walk, Pooley Bridge and Dunmallard Hill Walk, sits 0.2 miles from the inn, and Ullswater Lakeshore: Howtown to Patterdale is 3.3 miles off.
