Stayed in the Thistle Lodge with our dog and absolutely loved it! Beautiful walks, friendly staff in all the shops and everywhere is dog friendly. You had the necessities all within walking distance. Right at the bottom of The Old man of Coniston walk, and there are plenty of other lovely walks to do. Would highly highly recommend lunch at Swallows & Amazon (around a 10 minute drive). Stunning scenery all round and food was fantastic.

Myself, my partner and our dog had a lovely stay here at Thistle lodge, with beautiful surroundings and a private, peaceful stay. The lodge was clean and cosy, the perfect break away from home.

Coppermines is absolutely adorable and stunning. It has everything you could need for a comfortable weekend. The bed is so comfortable and it is lovely and warm. We had issues with the remote control and the batteries and it was sorted out immediately and the batteries were on our doorstep for us when we arrived back after a few hours out. Every query I had was answered immediately. The hot tub was already warm for us on arrival. I could not ask for better hospitality. You guys are amazing and the shepherds huts (Thistle Lodge) is divine.
