1 / 8The Ullswater Inn
Glenridding, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
An inn at the southern tip of Ullswater in Glenridding, with a cosy dog friendly pub at its heart and Sir Woofchester's food for visiting dogs.
At the southern tip of Ullswater, in the heart of Glenridding, The Ullswater Inn combines the charm of a traditional country pub with the comforts of a modern hotel. This dog friendly inn keeps a cosy pub at its heart, alongside 56 bedrooms, sweeping lake views and direct access to the fells.
When you reserve, tell the team you're bringing a dog so you're allocated a pet-friendly room; the classic doubles or twins, with a king sized bed or two singles and a desk area, are among those marked dog friendly. Up to two dogs can come with you. A dog may not be left unattended in your bedroom during your stay.
The pub serves home-cooked food and drinks all day, ready for refuelling after a day out, and your dog can join you in the designated dog friendly areas, where water bowls, treats and Sir Woofchester's dog food are waiting.
Some of the spacious doubles have views over Ullswater itself, and steamer cruises on the lake are close at hand. For walking, Wildpack measures Grisedale Tarn and Helvellyn from Patterdale at 0.8 miles and Aira Force and Ullswater Viewpoints at 2.1 miles, both good days out with a dog.
