A dog-friendly holiday in Cumbria really does offer everything you could want from a getaway!

The rolling hills and glistening lakes offer an environment like no other to explore with your dog in tow. Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and national parks create a tapestry of unrivalled landscapes, which means there’s infinite space for your dog to woof and wander, and plenty of places for you to paws for reflection. Walking the paths is definitely the best way to appreciate the extraordinary environment, and your pooch will certainly appreciate the extra-long walks on the trip! Our dog-friendly cottages on the Cumbrian coast also offer the perfect contrast to the countryside, with some fantastic dog-friendly beaches to explore.

The pretty towns of Ambleside and Keswick are worth a visit in the Lake District, while the port towns of Whitehaven and Workington lie along the Solway Coast.
