Clementi - Penrith Apartment

Clementi is a self-catered apartment a short walk from the centre of Penrith, on the eastern edge of the Lake District. It's a small whole-property rental run by named hosts (Graham and Lisa across multiple reviews), and the format is structurally good for dog owners: a single party in the apartment, no shared corridors, and town-edge walks that mean you don't need to drive every time the dog wants out. The 4.8 paw rating reflects a small but consistent set of pet-positive reviews.

Practical bits to know in advance: the apartment doesn't publish a separate pet fee or specific pet policy through Agoda, so anything pet-specific (number of dogs, room access, etc.) is worth raising with the hosts when you book. Reviews suggest the hosts are responsive and accommodating; the welcome usually includes bread, milk, cheese and similar starter goods, which is helpful when you arrive late with a dog who needs feeding.

Guests travelling with dogs consistently describe the apartment itself as stylish, well-equipped and comfortable, with a real sitting room and a kitchen that means you can self-cater for the duration. Hard floors and a layout suited to a couple plus a well-behaved dog come up across the reviews. The hosts make repeat visits comfortable enough that several guests say they'll return.

Location is Penrith town-edge rather than rural. You get walkable shops and food without giving up access to the Lake District: the M6, Ullswater and the northern fells are all within short driving range. Parking is close to the apartment, which makes day trips into the hills straightforward.

Best suited to: couples or solo travellers with one well-behaved dog who want a town-edge base for exploring the eastern Lake District and prefer self-catering to a hotel. Less suited to large parties or anyone wanting on-site catering or housekeeping.
