A spa hotel at the crossroads of the A591 and B5291 at the northern end of Bassenthwaite Lake, a mile from the Ouse Bridge shore and within reach of Sale Fell and the Wythop valley. Dogs are only taken in the four designated dog-friendly room types, a maximum of two per room, and the hotel is explicit that the rest of its bedrooms are not suitable for pets, so a dog room has to be booked rather than added on arrival. Some of those rooms open straight onto the private gardens.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
A country house in four hundred acres of woodland above Bassenthwaite Lake, with a spa, a wildlife park next door and a doggy hairdryer for rain-soaked arrivals. Dogs stay in ground-floor rooms opening onto the patio and garden, and may sit with you in the Hall Lounge between 10am and 7pm, but not in the other public rooms or the spa.

Nobody has written one for Lake District Castle Inn Hotel. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
