We Are Dog Friendly

We welcome dogs (and their owners) to our Bed & Breakfast in the Lake District. We love them so much that DOGS STAY FREE! That’s a rare thing in the Ambleside area 🙂

We have lots of customers who return to us year after year, particularly with their dogs, as they know their pets are going to be made just as welcome as they are!

As well as the local fells, there are plenty of great circular dog walking routes that we can recommend to you. Just ask us for details.

Here’s our official policy on dogs: 

Your dog is welcome at The Old Vicarage. If you have a dog with you, we would prefer that it is not allowed onto the furniture or left in the room unattended. If you feel your dog can be trusted and will not panic when left alone, please let us know and let us have a way to contact you just in case it gets spooked!

Please be considerate enough to clean-up after your dog, particularly within the grounds (there is a bin in the car park)

Please be aware that there are often children staying and not all children have been taught how to behave around dogs!
