Find Dog-Friendly Hotels in Rosthwaite

The best area to stay in Rosthwaite for pet-friendly hotels is within the village centre itself.


Rosthwaite is a small, linear village located in the Borrowdale Valley, with most of its amenities and accommodation options situated along the main road that runs through it. You'll find a handful of hotels and guesthouses here, often converted from traditional stone buildings, offering a welcoming base for you and your dog. The village is surrounded by fells, making it easy to step out directly into the countryside for walks.


Couples often find the village centre ideal because it offers convenient access to local pubs and tea rooms, many of which are pet-friendly. After a day of exploring the fells, you can easily enjoy a meal or a drink without needing to drive, and your furry friend can often join you in designated areas.

The best pet-friendly activities in Rosthwaite involve exploring the stunning natural landscapes of the Lake District.


For dog owners, a classic choice is a walk along the River Derwent. There are numerous paths that follow the river, offering gentle strolls with plenty of opportunities for your dog to paddle. You can start directly from Rosthwaite village and head towards places like Grange-in-Borrowdale, enjoying the views of the fells. This is ideal for families and couples looking for a relaxed outdoor experience with their furry companion.


Another excellent option is to tackle one of the many fells in the immediate area. Castle Crag, for instance, offers a rewarding climb with panoramic views of Borrowdale. While it's a steeper ascent, many dogs enjoy the challenge, and it's a fantastic way to experience the Lake District's rugged beauty together. Just remember to keep dogs on a lead near livestock. This activity suits active couples or solo travellers who enjoy hiking.


For a more leisurely outing, consider a visit to the shores of Derwentwater. While not directly in Rosthwaite, it's a short drive or an enjoyable walk through the valley. Many sections of the lakeshore paths are dog-friendly, and you can even find jetties where you can catch a launch (boat) that welcomes well-behaved dogs, allowing you to explore different parts of the lake.

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 it's pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
