A Lake District inn was shortlisted as one of the UK’s Best Pubs for Dogs at the 2022 Great British Pub Awards.
The Pheasant Inn at Bassenthwaite – which has a range of dog beers – was one of six nominated in the category but missed out at the awards event with the top gong going to a Marston’s pub based in Preston.
The Pheasant, operated by northern pub company, The Inn Collection Group, the 17th century inn offers fresh water and complimentary treats and has dog dedicated areas, including rooms with easy access to its grounds for comfort breaks and walkies.
Alongside the accommodation, the pub also offers dogs a range of meals and beers. There is even a stick library where treasures retrieved by previous pooch guests can be collected and taken out for walks in the great outdoors.
General manager Debra Adamson said: “The Pheasant Inn is genuinely a pub with rooms that is welcoming to dogs and their owners.
“We’re all dog lovers here with our own resident dogs Logan and AJ, so being able to advise guests on how to make sure both they and their pets make the most of The Pheasant Inn and the local area is really rewarding.”
