At Bridge End Farm Cottages we recognise that many visitors wish to bring their 4 legged family members with them on holiday - with this in mind we have five luxury self catering Lake District cottages in Eskdale which are pet friendly: The Farmhouse, Wastwater Cottage, Hardknott Cottage, Stanley Ghyll Cottage and Wrynose Cottage.
The Farmhouse has its own private, secluded, walled garden, so you can let the dog play and relax outside safely, whilst you absorb the ambient beauty of stunning Eskdale.

Luxury Pet Friendly Holidays in Eskdale, the Lake District
- We provide doggy treats and other useful things for the perfect dog friendly holiday in Eskdale, the Lake District.
- As soon as you step out of your cottage door, dog walks abound! Easy walks, hard walks, steep walks, walks along rivers and lakes, quaint lane walks and much more.
- There is a dog poop bin in Boot village and many places in the Lake District have the bins for you to put your doggie poos in.
- Most pubs in the Eskdale valley accept well behaved dogs on a lead and they all have beer gardens.
- The Ravenglass and Eskdale narrow gauge steam railway (5 minutes’ walk from the cottages) has carriages in which you can take your dog, so head off to Ravenglass for a dog run along the beach or to Muncaster Castle or any other of the stops along the way where you can take your dog for a long walk.
If you have a specific question about bringing your dog on holiday to the Lake District, please contact us and we will advise on the most appropriate cottage for your needs.
If you do bring your dogs on holiday they will need to be walked on a lead as the Lake District is farming country and the farmers do not take kindly to sheep being chased by dogs.
All dogs must be booked in and sorry we do not take dogs under one year old as we had a bad incident with a puppy chewing one of our nice Italian leather sofas. All dogs should be well behaved and all owners need to follow our easy to follow rules eg not allowed on beds, not left alone in the cottage, not off a lead in our gardens, taken for walks off site but still on a lead on footpaths as this is farming country and please read and abide by the full list of dog rules below. We will probably have other guests without dogs staying in our other cottages here to enjoy the peace, beauty and tranquility of our special corner of the Lake District, so if your dog is going to be stressed in unfamiliar surroundings and/or prone to barking lots we suggest you book elsewhere.
We can take up to 2 large or 3 small dogs in our Farmhouse. Two dogs in Wastwater Cottage. Two dogs but only if sleeping in crates in Scafell Cottage. One large dog or two small dogs in Hardknott, Wrynose and Stanley Ghyll Cottage and just one small dog in Whillan Beck Cottage as it’s our smallest cottage.
Dog fees are payable in advance and are:
£50 per week. £100 for 2 weeks.
£40 for breaks of 4, 5 or 6 nights.
£30 for short breaks of 1, 2 or 3 nights
We put in a dog treat, throw(s) for our leather sofas, dog towel(s) for dirty paws and we do an extra special deep clean afterwards.
