Dog Friendly Holiday Cottages

If you’re looking to escape to somewhere with beautiful scenery and incredible walks, then the Silverdale & Arnside Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is waiting to welcome you. It’s the ideal place to bring your furry friends for a holiday too. Staying at dog friendly cottages in the lakes allows you to bring your pets with you, so they can join in your adventure. Bring your dog on holiday to Lancashire and it’ll be joyfully swimming in lakes and bounding up mountains with you in no time. There are a number of pet friendly holiday cottages in Lancashire and around the Lake District, that are perfect for those who want to be able to experience everything the area has to offer, but want to be able to share it with their dog.

Local dog friendly things to do

If you want to stay a little closer to your cottage, there are so many dog-friendly things to do in the Silverdale & Arnside AONB too, as well as Lancaster and Kendal and the wider Lancashire area, all of which are just a short journey away.

For starters, there are numerous wonderful walks in the Silverdale & Arnside AONB that are perfect for your dog. You could visit the Leighton Moss Nature Reserve, as long as you keep your dog on a lead, or you could take your dog to the park at Leighton Hall. The Lakeland Miniature Village is just a short journey away and is welcoming to dogs too. Check out guides for things to do in Silverdale and things to do in Arnside for more ideas.

Levens Hall, on the way up to Kendal, welcomes dogs on the Levens Kitchen Terrace and in the areas surrounding it. Dogs are welcome on the Sizergh Castle estate too, although they can’t go in the main gardens. Check out our guide on things to do in Kendal for more suggestions.

All of these areas have a host of walks and other activities that are welcoming to dogs too. Each location has a selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants that allow dogs, but it’s always worth checking on an individual basis before you go, just in case.
