He said: “Since we opened in 2016, we have always tried to focus on making all of our guests welcome without exception; including our guests who travel to the Lakes with their four legged friends.

“We endeavour to go that extra mile to make them as comfortable as their human companions, providing a host creature comforts for them to enjoy.

“As dog lovers ourselves it is important to us that all of our guests enjoy their stay with us, which is why being recognised in this way is a real honour, especially in the current circumstances.’’
