1 / 8The Red Lion Inn
Lowick Green, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A family run country inn at Lowick Bridge near Coniston, with three rooms above the pub, a real fire and a bar where dogs are welcome.
Tucked away in the quiet of the Crake valley, about two miles from Coniston Water, the Red Lion is a traditional family run inn at Lowick Bridge with a real fire, a friendly bar and a kitchen serving generous home-cooked food. Well behaved dogs and children are always welcome, which makes it a dog friendly inn of the easygoing, local kind, set up for a day on the fells, the forest or the lake.
There are three rooms above the pub, two large doubles and a twin that can be booked as a single, each en-suite with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside and a full English breakfast in the morning. Well behaved dogs are welcome to stay, and the inn will make up a packed lunch if you ask the evening before, handy for a long day out with your dog. The inn's website does not mention a limit on how many dogs you can bring, so check that when you book.
Downstairs the pub welcomes well behaved dogs as long as they're kept on a lead and off the furniture, and the inn asks that they're kept under control in the bar and dining areas out of consideration for other guests. The food is good old-fashioned pub grub, freshly cooked to order, with a regularly rotating line-up of well kept cask ales at the bar.
The beer garden looks across the valley to the Coniston Old Man, and an acoustic jam night runs every second Thursday of the month. Grizedale Forest is among the places the inn suggests for exploring, and Haverigg Beach, 9.7 miles away, is the nearest dog friendly beach that Wildpack lists for the inn.
