1 / 8Tweedies Bar & Lodge
Grasmere, Westmorland and Furness
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A lodge in the heart of Grasmere whose bar welcomes muddy boots and weary four-legged friends, with dogs allowed in the ground floor rooms and Mews suites.
Picture your dog settled beside you in the bar at Tweedies Bar & Lodge while you enjoy a craft beer and some hearty Lakeland food. The lodge is tucked away behind a wall of fir trees in the heart of Grasmere, in a house that history says was once a private country home, and this dog friendly inn treats your dog as an essential companion for exploring.
Dogs can stay in the ground floor rooms and the Mews suites, four suites in their very own courtyard with star-gazing skylights, a mezzanine bedroom and a communal outdoor patio and hot tub. Among the Tweed and Nest and Nook rooms, Twill, Islay and several more are marked dog friendly too; those booked online are allocated on the day, so contact the hotel to book a specific dog friendly room. The number of dogs per room is something the hotel doesn't say, so settle that with the team as you book.
The bar is a relaxed place for muddy boots, aching legs and weary dogs to sit down, share tales and tuck into hearty Lakeland food. Craft beers, ales and perries line up behind the bar, and the menus run from sharing platters to home-cooked favourites, with a proper roast for Sunday lunch. From the garden, The Hatch serves pizzas, beers and ice creams.
The sauna in the grounds is there to unwind in after a walk on the fells, and the Tweed Suites have mountain views, king-size beds and soft dressing gowns. With the dog, Grasmere to Rydal Water is 1.6 miles away on Wildpack's map, and Elterwater to Skelwith Bridge (Langdale Valley) is 1.9 miles away.
