"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Grasmere cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Grasmere from £99 with Expedia. Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Grasmere is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Grasmere for pet-friendly hotels is within the village centre itself, as this provides the most convenient access to amenities and walking routes.

Grasmere village is compact and easily walkable, with most hotels, shops, and restaurants clustered around the A591 and the village green. You'll find the famous Sarah Nelson's Grasmere Gingerbread shop here, along with various pubs and cafes that often welcome dogs. The village is located beside Grasmere Lake, offering immediate access to scenic walks right from your doorstep.

Couples travelling with their dogs will appreciate staying in the village centre. It allows for easy access to dog-friendly pubs and eateries after a day of exploring the fells, without needing to drive. Many hotels in this area are accustomed to guests with pets and provide amenities like dog beds or bowls upon request.

For those who enjoy longer walks directly from their accommodation, staying near the edge of the village, closer to the paths leading towards Grasmere Lake or Helm Crag, is also an excellent choice.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Grasmere?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets.

You can extend your walk to Rydal Water, which is just next to Grasmere, for a longer outing. These walks are ideal for those who enjoy spending a full day exploring the natural landscape with their pets.

Another excellent choice is a hike up one of the fells surrounding Grasmere. Helm Crag, often called 'The Lion and the Lamb' due to its distinctive rock formations, offers rewarding views and a good workout for both you and your dog. These fell walks provide a sense of achievement and incredible vistas, great for those seeking a more adventurous experience.

For a more relaxed pace, many of the local pubs and cafes with outdoor seating welcome well-behaved dogs.
