Pet Friendly Lake District Holidays

Holidaying with man's best friend is on the up.  As the proud owner of Paddy, all six stone of him our holiday destinations have changed in recent years.  Long haul for three weeks relaxing on the beach has been replaced with a week or two self catering within easy access of walks and the odd animal friendly pub.  What hasn't changed is my desire for quality accommodation and quite frankly that's easy said than done.
Many of the pet friendly self catering cottages on offer I wouldn't well...expect the dog to sleep in.  You might need to invest a little time in finding the right place but things are on the up.  The Lake District seems to be ahead of the game; Windermere Marian Village have just added to their pet friendly accommodation.  The cottages are decorated and equipped to the same great standard as their non pet friendly counterparts.  Due to popular demand some of the larger cottages over looking the fabulous marina have been allocated for the use of families who want to include the dog.
