    I forgot to post this photo of Limefitt Park looking towards Wansfell and Troutbeck. This was taken from up and behind the Haybarn Inn – can’t quite pinpoint Tree Top Lodge (our lovely self catering lodge in the lake district :-) through the trees but it’s in there somewhere!! :-) This is one of our favourite routes going to Orrest Head and Windermere and then down into Bowness! We are looking forward to taking Jester up and around this way as there aren’t too many sheep!

    Dog friendly lodges in the Lake district!

    After opening Tree Top Lodge (Limefitt Park) and then Calgarth Lodge (White Cross Bay) as dog friendly lodges, we have at last decided to get one of our own!! Jester is a very bouncy, good natured 5 year old German Wirehaired Pointer and he is gorgeous! We ‘rescued’ him rather than getting a puppy and he is going to make a fantastic walking companion for our visits to the Lake District – if we can keep up with him!! He has only had a day visit to the lodge so far but is looking forward to a bit more training so we can have him free running (where appropriate) with a bit more confidence that he won’t chase the sheep, and will actually come back to us every time we ask him!! We think he thought it was a giant dog kennel! Keep up to date with ‘bringing your dog’ as we will be getting some more dog friendly information soon!
