A Lake District escape that's just as much for your dog as it is for you 🐾

Primrose is the only pet-friendly apartment at The Old Bank House in Ambleside. With ground floor access and private outdoor space, it's made for one very lucky pup to have their own patch while you unwind.

Sleeping two guests in a stylish double with its own modern ensuite, plus plenty of storage so it actually feels like home for however long you're staying.

🍁 Tarn Hows, Hawkshead: classic, crowd-pleasing, worth the hype
🍂 Ashness Bridge, Keswick: that view over Derwentwater never misses
🍁 Aira Force, Ullswater: waterfall and golden woodland, there's nothing better
🍂 The Grot, Rydal: a hidden gem tucked away from the crowds
🍁 Whinlatter Forest, Braithwaite: you might even see the Gruffalo

Catbells right on your doorstep, this one's for the people who want boots on within minutes of waking up 🥾

Gutherscale Lodge sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms, tucked into Newlands Valley with one of the Lake District's most popular fells practically in the back garden, a log burner and underfloor heating for when you just want to get cosy after your day out walking.

While you're staying there, don't stop at Catbells! Why not try these walks as well?

⛰️ Causey Pike: a bit more of a scramble and ridge views over the whole Newlands round.
⛰️ Derwentwater: flatter, easier and lakeside. Perfect if you want to finish in Keswick for a pub lunch.
