Lion & Lamb is a pub on The Square, Gosforth. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Lion & Lamb is a real pub in Gosforth, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.
If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Claim this page.
If you have been and you know the answer, tell us and we will go and confirm it.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
A bed and breakfast in a seventeenth-century farmhouse at Bolton Head, on the lane between Gosforth and Nether Wasdale, ten minutes from the foot of Wast Water and half an hour from Wasdale Head. Its own site states that dogs are welcome in three of the bedrooms, which is the only published bedroom dog policy in Gosforth parish. No charge is published, so agree it when you book. It is a useful fallback when Wasdale Head is full, which it is most summer weekends.
A seventeenth-century hall turned inn in Gosforth, the last village of any size before Wasdale, with a bar that serves the full menu to walkers straight off the fells. Dogs are welcome in the bar and the beer garden; the restaurant is kept dog-free.
Seven and three quarter miles and about three and a half hours for 260 metres of climb, out of Gosforth village along the Bleng into the forestry and over the shoulder of Ponsonby Fell - a quiet corner that sees a fraction of the traffic of the central valleys. It starts in Gosforth itself, where there is free on-street parking around the square and by the church with its Viking cross. The river is the best of it for a dog, running clear over gravel with plenty of access, and the forest tracks are enclosed for off-lead walking, but the fell section crosses grazed open ground, there are two ladder stiles that a large dog cannot manage without help, and the return lane carries fast local traffic for half a mile.
Nobody has written one for Lion & Lamb. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
