1 / 8The Yewdale Inn
Coniston, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 1 dog per room.
An eight room inn in the centre of Coniston, with a pub, a wood fired pizza oven and a bar where well behaved dogs can rest their legs.
Dogs need somewhere to rest their legs too, The Yewdale Inn reasons, and its bar area welcomes well behaved ones to do exactly that. The inn sits in the very centre of Coniston village, with eight en suite guest rooms, a traditional British pub and a wood fired pizza oven, and it makes a dog friendly inn to come back to after a busy day exploring the surrounding Lakeland fells.
One small dog can come per room, and bookings with a dog are made directly by calling the hotel reception. The rooms were recently refurbished, with crisp white linen and comfortable beds, and each looks out on either the Coniston fells or the village and its church. The Yewdale doesn't state whether a dog may be left in the room on its own, so raise that when you call.
In the bar, well behaved dogs are welcome to settle while you have a pint of local cask ale, with craft beers from local brewers such as Bowness Bay Brewing. The inn doesn't say whether dogs can sit with you for meals, so check before booking a table. The menu runs to traditional British pub classics and a Sunday roast with all the trimmings, and the wood fired oven turns out hand-stretched Napoletana pizza. In the warmer months, drinks and meals can also be taken out on the extensive terrace, which looks towards the Old Man of Coniston and Church Beck.
Coniston Water is just a short walk away, and the village makes a good place to explore from. On Wildpack's map, Coniston Old Man via Goat's Water is 0.9 miles from the inn and Tarn Hows 2.3 miles, both on the list for days out with your dog.
