Forest Side
Six dog rooms in the north wing, forty-three acres of woodland outside
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
Forty-three acres of the hotel's own woodland start at the door, and the Grasmere and Rydal Water circuit plus the Easedale Tarn path are both inside a mile.
Six north-wing rooms take dogs, and the restaurant and lounge stay people only.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Up to two dogs in each of the six dog-friendly bedrooms, all in the north wing. The forty-three acres of grounds and woodland are open to them. The restaurant and the lounge are people only, so plan dinner around that. Staff talk you through the walking routes before you arrive.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
