Dog friendly hotels lake district UK.

It is estimated that almost half of the pet owners consider their pets to be a part of the family. As a result, many pet owners like to bring their pets along when they go on vacation. Hotel owners have realized this trend and are now offering pet-friendly policies to their guests. In most cases, hotels with pet-friendly policies will allow pets to stay in their rooms free of charge, some will allow you to take your four-legged friend on a country escape or coastal getaway, and plenty of treats will be provided, including dog beds and bowls, as well as personalised gift bags and special pet menus.
I am sure is not surprising to anyone that Brits enjoy their pets very much and like to include them in everything, including their holidays. The good news is that there are plenty of dog-friendly hotels in the UK that cater for pampered pooches in luxury.
We have put together a list of hotels in the UK that allow dogs that you should check out.

George and Dragon Clifton

What makes the George and Dragon restaurant so special is that its source of inspiration, history, passion, and product all come from the Estate of its owners, right on the doorstep, a source of food since more than 800 years ago. In our sister establishment Askham Hall, a couple of miles away from the George and Dragon, we have our gardens and surrounding fields to grow and rear as much of our produce as possible. As part of our philosophy at Askham Hall, our focus is on sustainability, simplicity, and quality. For anything that we are not growing or raising ourselves, we ensure, wherever possible, that the rest of the fresh seasonal produce that we use here is sourced from local suppliers and farmers within a distance of approximately twenty miles.

Rothay Garden Hotel & Riverside Spa

Whether planning a weekend escape or a holiday in the Lake District, Rothay Garden is the perfect base. Following multi-million pound renovations, the hotel now offers 30 beautiful suites, a stunning Garden Restaurant, and a small but fabulous Riverside Spa. As a result of this investment, Rothay Garden has remained one of the highest-rated properties in Grasmere and Ambleside, challenging the best luxury Lake District hotels.
Having just returned from hiking on the fells, the Riverside Spa is the ideal place to relax after a day’s hiking. It is one of the few hotel spas in the region that is exclusively for the use of our hotel guests and is not open today for spa visitors or local members of any kind. We are just one example of the many special touches that you can find at Rothay Garden. We believe that is one of the reasons the hotel was recently awarded, in summer 2018, the prestigious Cumbria Tourism Award for the Best Small Hotel of the Year!
