Self-catering dog-friendly accommodation in Coniston

In the pretty and historic village of Coniston, discover your next Lake District holiday. Stay in one of our self-catering dog-friendly cottages in Coniston, nestled within this quintessentially Cumbrian community. Every morning you’ll marvel at the rolling hills and dramatic waters that surround your accommodation. Coniston is particularly pet-friendly, with a secluded, village atmosphere and quick access to the scenic reaches and climbs of the Lake District beyond. Walk, cycle, hike, and row your days away with your excited pup in tow and soak in the literary majesty of this famous national park, where the likes of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter lived and took inspiration. And when you’ve tuckered yourselves out, head back to one of the pet-friendly pubs in the lanes around our Coniston dog-friendly holiday cottages.

Begin your Coniston sightseeing in the village itself, which has a rich literary history. The poet and thinker John Ruskin famously lived here, and a museum dedicated to his work sits on the edge of Church Beck, which curls through the village. Wander downstream to Coniston Water, a lively lake with a National Trust yacht making regular trips in peak season. A stunning 7-mile walk, or drive will bring you to the storied shores of Lake Windermere. Trail along these beautiful banks, watching boats go by. Visit Wray Castle and its glamorous lakeside grounds — your canine travel companion will love stretching her legs in these inspiring surroundings.
