Tewitfield’s collection of self-catering holiday apartments and stone-built cottages is operated by family-run Lake District Estates and is renowned for its ‘dog-tastic’ welcome.
Julie Bolland from Tewitfield Marina accepted the award on behalf of the team.
She said: “It’s a real thrill to be given this award, voted for by members of the public! We love dogs and know that for dog owners, their four-legged friends are very much part of the family. Our customers tell us they book holidays with us because they know they can bring their dogs, so we’re always looking to add those extra touches to our dog-friendly offering.”
