Bowness-on-Windermere sits on the shore of England's largest lake, and the dog friendly stays here lean towards big groups and well-equipped houses rather than small budget cabins. Every place in this group accepts dogs, though some list pets as on request, so it is worth confirming terms before you book. Walkers with a dog and a family or friends' group will find the most choice.

Prices sit at the dearer end for a British lodge break. Nights are usually well above what you would pay in many other regions, and the cheapest nights are far lower than the typical one. Hot tubs are almost standard, with about 9 in 10 places having one, and just over half have a log burner. Guests rate the stays highly, at 9.2 out of 10 on average. Places sleep 7 to 8 people on average, and the largest takes 19, so this is a good area for a group trip with several dogs.

Features

The hot tub is the feature you will see most, with 16 of the 18 places offering one. Log burners and gardens each appear in 10 places, and those places usually cost noticeably more than the group as a whole. A garden matters with a dog, since it gives you somewhere to let them out early or late without a lead. Lake views are less common, at 4 places, and they sit above the usual night. Only one place has a sauna and one a spa bath.

By number of guests

Small places for two are usually dearer per person than anything else, as one couple carries the whole nightly price. The cost per person drops sharply for stays sleeping 3 to 4 and falls again at 5 to 6, which is the cheapest band per head. If you are bringing a dog and a few friends, a three-bedroom place is usually the best value.

Prices month by month

Prices stay fairly steady from November to December, then rise in January and February, when the usual night is clearly higher than in the months either side. March and April ease back to a middle level. Availability is thinner in the late autumn months, with only about 30 free nights in November and December, while January to April has far more open dates. If you want a dearer lodge on a smaller budget, March gives you more room to choose.
