As pet owners ourselves (see our meet the team section on our about page) we understand that your four-legged friend is very much part of the family.
Bring them with you for a tour of the very best the Lakes has to offer this Christmas season…
The Lake District is so dog friendly that it has been awarded ‘Best Great Outdoors Destination’ by the Kennel Club, a ‘pawsome’ achievement, I’m sure you’ll agree.
This is why we have a selection of pet friendly retreats offered to you at no extra charge.
