Your Dog is Welcome Here — Properly Welcome

We know how it goes. You find somewhere that looks perfect, and then you check, and the dog can't come. Or they can come, but they're treated like an afterthought, shut out of the lounge, given a stern look at check-in, and you spend the whole stay apologising for their existence.

That's not how we do things at Ouse Bridge.

We're former dog owners ourselves. We know that your dog isn't just a pet, they're part of the family.

And frankly, a holiday that means leaving them behind isn't much of a holiday at all. So we've made sure that bringing your dog here is genuinely easy, genuinely comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable, for both of you.

The dog-friendly rooms

All of our rooms are dog friendly!

The dog fee

There's a flat charge of just £30 per stay, not per night, per stay, to cover any additional cleaning. That's it. No hidden extras, no per-dog surcharges, no surprises at checkout.

What your dog gets

On arrival, your dog will receive a warm welcome, a towel and a bowl because first impressions matter. And every morning at breakfast, we'll make sure there are extra sausages set aside for them too. It's a small touch, but the wagging tails tell us it goes down well.

The location

Of course, it helps that you're in one of the finest dog-walking landscapes in England. Bassenthwaite Lake is on your doorstep. The fells are minutes away. And the quieter lanes and paths around Dubwath are perfect for an early morning walk before breakfast.

Before you book

Just let us know when you book that you'll be bringing your dog so we can make sure the right room is ready and waiting. We'll do the rest.
