The Mortal Man Inn

Troutbeck, Near Windermere, Lake District, Cumbria, LA23 1PL

Chestnut Cottages are totally dog-friendly luxury cottages in the heart of the Lake District.  We don’t have a “one small dog by arrangement” policy because we know that some people have more than one dog and sometimes they are of the larger varieties.  But that’s ok – they’re all welcome.  We trust our guests to know their own dogs and so we are happy for them to be left unattended in the cottages if you need to pop out.

Our dog-friendly accommodation consists of Chestnut Cottage; a charming white washed stone cottage sleeping 4, and Crookelty Farmhouse and Crookelty Byre which can be let separately to sleep 6 or 7 or together to sleep up to 13.  All of the cottages have real fires, oak beams and lots of character.

The Lake District, and Keswick in particular, is extremely dog friendly.  There is no shortage of walks ranging from serene valley walks to some of the highest fells in England.  Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake are nearby and are heaven for water loving dogs.  Many shops and pubs in Keswick are happy to accept dogs.
