About Witherslack
|
As pet owners ourselves and fosterers for Greyhound Rescue we understand the importance of being with your dog at all times. Being pet friendly it's definitely a ‘Dogs Life' at Beech Hill House so there's no excuse not to holiday without bringing your dog with you. Our bed and breakfast accommodation is totally dog friendly providing a dog bed, water bowl and chew to welcome him or her along with spacious rooms to relax in.
Situated 8 minutes from the M6 J36 just off the A590 at Witherslack in an unspoilt corner of the Lake District National Park we have walks from the front door and with being in the South Lakes, which is a fabulous dog friendly place to holiday there is the entire Lake District and Furness Peninsulas to explore along with the Yorkshire Dales and even North Lancashire with all their associated mountains, hills, fells and beaches.
There are also a number of pubs etc. in the area where you can take your dog. The Derby Arms which is 50 yards along the road will be opening again at the end of November or early December after a massive re-furbishment, and they are going to welcome dogs. The refurbishment has taken longer than originally anticipated but they will definately be open by the 19th December because they have a party booked for that evening - now they have a deadline to work to!
Dogs can stay in either room and our superior king size bedded room even has it's own private balcony. With table and chairs guests can sit and relax here with their dog on warm sunny afternoons and evenings. Enjoy a cool refreshing drink or take a stroll down the steps from the balcony into a small private garden by the side of the house. From this garden there is access on to the drive for those wanting a slightly longer stroll!
Dogs are most welcome to stay with their owners in the bedrooms for a small charge. Please let us know the size of your dog(s) when you book a room with us so we can provide the appropriate size bed(s). Because of possible separation anxiety of being somewhere strange, all we ask is they are not left on their own in the room whilst you are dining out or taking breakfast.
Dogs may be walked along one of the three roads nearby, which includes the 'old road'. The 'old road' runs alongside the Derby Arms Pub and used to be the main road prior to the A590 being built and is now a dead end so makes an ideal walk for pet owners. Part way down the 'old road' just past the large layby on the right there is the Latterbarrow Nature Reserve, which is |

a safe area for walking your dog as it is fenced to keep the deer out. Since July 2004 we have fostered 73 Greyhounds and bed and breakfast at Beech Hill House has been specially designed to accommodate our guests with their dogs along with our Greyhounds.
In addition to fostering Jenny is writing a book entitled 'Caring for my Rescued Greyhound' (£6.00 plus p & p) which contains useful information about dog behaviour and training dogs in general but she steers it towards the Greyhound. Purchase 'Caring for my Rescued Greyhound'.
Come and say hello to our dogs - Bobby (13), Indi (7) and Sandy (5) along with our current foster dog who will be staying with us until he, or she finds a new home.
