1 / 8Traveller's Rest
Grasmere, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A sixteenth century coaching inn outside Grasmere, with oak beams and inglenooks, whose bar welcomes dogs and is where you and your dog take breakfast.
The Traveller's Rest is an original sixteenth century coaching inn on the outskirts of Grasmere, full of old world charm, with oak beams, inglenooks, open fires and beer gardens with panoramic views. This dog friendly inn has plenty of wonderful walks around it to enjoy with your dog, from Grasmere Lake to Rydal Water.
Dogs stay in the Standard Double rooms and in one of the two twins, so tell the inn your dog is coming when you reserve and it will allocate the right room. The Standard Doubles have king size beds and views, and the bedrooms all look out on the surrounding fells. Whether a room takes more than one dog, and whether a dog may stay behind while you eat, the inn doesn't say, so raise both as you book.
The bar is open to dogs, and if you'd like your dog with you at breakfast the inn will seat you there; dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant area. The kitchen's menu runs to local and provincial dishes, and the traditional bar pours local real ales alongside fine wines from an extensive cellar and a wide range of malt whiskies. The interior has traditional wood and stone décor and open fires.
Of the ten bedrooms, the Superior King Double brings a luxurious bed and fell views, though dogs stay only in the Standard Doubles and one twin, not this room. Out with the dog, Fairfield Horseshoe from Rydal is 2.3 miles away by Wildpack's reckoning, and Drigg Beach sits 19.1 miles off as Wildpack's nearest dog friendly beach.
