1 / 8The Wheatsheaf at Beetham
Beetham, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A country inn established in 1609 in the village of Beetham, where dogs relax beside your table and have a doggy menu of their own.
Beetham is a village of grey limestone cottages and cobbled forecourts, and The Wheatsheaf, established in 1609, is a traditional country pub and inn named Cumbria Tourism Pub of the Year 2026. It welcomes muddy boots, wagging tails and the whole family, and this dog friendly inn suits walkers bound for Arnside, Silverdale and the South Lakes.
Every room takes dogs, and the rooms are individually styled and cosy, with comfortable beds, quality linen and en-suite bathrooms. Dogs stay on the lead in the public areas and aren't left alone in the bedrooms. Ask the inn about a second dog when you book, as it doesn't say how many can share.
The bar area welcomes well-behaved dogs, and in the dog friendly areas they can relax beside your table while you eat, with water bowls to hand and a dedicated doggy menu. The kitchen makes home-cooked food from quality local ingredients, from homemade pies to a traditional Sunday lunch, with Cumbrian ales to go with them and a pint by the fire.
For something different, the Hole Inn One is an indoor golf simulator, and the inn runs Ghost Hunt Nights too. From the village a path climbs to Beetham fell and the Fairy Steps, and on Wildpack's map Eaves Wood and the Pepper Pot is 2.7 miles away, with Silverdale Cove, Wildpack's closest dog friendly beach, 3.5 miles off.
