Dog Friendly Holiday Park in the Lake District
We are a proud dog friendly park in the Lake District! We understand how important furry friends are to our guests and how complicated it can be to go on holiday without your pets. This is why two of our luxury cottages are dog friendly and come with a large dog and a 95cm plastic dog bed: choose from Cottage Number One or Cottage Number Three. One of our family glamping pods is also dog friendly, alternatively if you’re visiting us with your tourer, you’re allowed up to 3 dogs.
We also have a lot of space around the park for dogs to enjoy, however we kindly asks our guests that all dogs are kept on a lead while they’re on the park’s premises. There are plenty of woodland walks around Skelwith Folds for guests and their furry friends to enjoy! If you’re out and about with your four legged friend, here’s a list of dog friendly pubs in the Lake District.
