That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Boardwalk Bar and Grill is one of those Bowness spots that lands the full holiday mood in one go: lake views, lively atmosphere, and food that feels a notch more treat-night than quick pit stop. Right by the water at Gilly’s Landing, it works well when you want somewhere that feels properly scenic without drifting into stiff or overdone. There is a relaxed, family-friendly feel to it, but with enough polish to make it feel like a destination rather than just somewhere convenient. A strong pick for lakeside lunch, sunset drinks, or an easy dinner after a long day of dog walking and tourist pottering.
Good to know:
Water bowls available

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside at Boardwalk Bar and Grill, where lakeside stops often include a hopeful dog stationed near the table. Keep leads on and paws polite so everyone can enjoy the Windermere views.
