Pubs with Rooms in the Lake District
Quite a few pubs in the Lake District offer accommodation for the night, along with a hearty breakfast the following morning. And, after a long hike in the fells, what’s better than returning back to ‘home-base’ for a refreshing pint? Whilst pub accommodation generally has a reputation for being fairly basic - and there are plenty in the Lake District that offer just that - there are also a fair few that go above and beyond expectations with beautifully presented rooms and luxurious amenities.
Please note that just because a pub is dog friendly, does not necessarily mean the rooms are dog friendly. Please call ahead prior to booking to double check their policy on pets staying in rooms.
