A long-standing tearoom and restaurant in Portinscale, the village across the Derwent from Keswick reached by the suspension footbridge and on the way to the Hawes End and Catbells lanes. It is open all year, has its own car park, and its website states that it is dog friendly and that ramblers and their dogs are welcome. The site does not break that down by indoor and outdoor seating, so ask on the door if the weather is against you.
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.
Braeside is a place to stay in Portinscale. 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.
