How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from Agoda - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 19 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.7/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: June 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- Hosts' policy: one well-behaved dog welcome per booking. Multiple guests have brought more than one dog (a stay with two dogs is reviewed); if you're travelling with more than one, contact the hosts directly to confirm.
- Pet fee not disclosed on Agoda. Confirm any pet-related charges with the hosts at booking.
Pet-friendly summary
Frost is a 3.5-star whole-house rental in Windermere with one of the strongest pet-friendly setups in our pool: a balcony with lake views that pet-travelling guests have specifically described as safe for dogs, location next to the Windermere ferry crossing for easy access to Bowness, and a consistent run of positive pet-mention reviews. The hosts' stated policy is one well-behaved dog per booking, although multiple guests have brought more than one dog in practice (worth confirming if you're travelling with two).
Guests travelling with dogs describe a spotless, light apartment with lake views from the balcony as the headline feature. Reviews mention dogs settling on the balcony to watch ducks on the water, a toy poodle that loved the stay, and quiet surroundings away from the busier parts of Windermere. The combination of self-catering whole-house format, lake-view balcony, and the ferry connection for Bowness access makes it an unusually well-rounded fit for a quiet Lake District break with a dog.
One honest caveat from a recent non-pet-travelling guest: the property had a strong dog smell on arrival, especially in the lounge, that took a few days to abate with the doors open. That signals between-guest cleaning of soft furnishings is occasional rather than thorough. If you're a pet-travelling guest, this is less of an issue (the residue is from previous guests' dogs and you're bringing your own). If you have a non-dog companion who's pet-scent-sensitive, factor it in.
Best suited to a couple bringing one or two well-behaved dogs for a Windermere-area Lake District break, where the appeal of a lake-view-balcony 3.5-star whole-house rental next to the ferry crossing outweighs the cleaning-residue caveat. The balcony is the standout pet feature - few Lake District rentals have a lake-view outdoor space dogs can settle on safely.
