WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

A family-run historic house on the A591 with grounds running down to the shore of Bassenthwaite Lake, opposite the Dodd Wood car park and the Old Sawmill. The interest for a dog is the grounds rather than the house: a walled bee garden, the Poetry Walk through the woods and a path out to the lake shore and St Bega's church. Dogs are welcome in the grounds on a short lead but are kept out of the four adventure playgrounds, and the walks cross working farmland with stock in the fields. It is open April to October only.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs are welcome in the grounds on a short lead at all times and are not allowed in the playgrounds. The walks cross farmland, and Mirehouse asks that farm animals are given plenty of space. Dogs are not admitted to the house or the tea room.

Nobody has written one for Mirehouse and its lakeside grounds. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.
