Lake District Windermere
Hapimag Burnside Park Apartments
Independent pet-friendly review by Four Legged Guests · updated June 2026 · paw rating built from 1 verified guest review mentioning pets
Bring your dog if
- You want a whole-property rental - no shared lobbies or corridors to navigate with your dog
- You're basing yourself in Windermere / the Lake District and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - Agoda guests rate this 9.1/10 overall
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published - confirm directly with the property before booking
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review 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 873 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.1/10 - 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
- Dogs allowed in apartments. Pet fee applies and one reviewer specifically noted it was expensive per night, so confirm the rate before booking, particularly for a longer stay where the per-night fee can stack up.
- Pet fee amount not published on Agoda. Contact Hapimag direct or call the property to get a current pet-fee quote.
- No published weight or breed limits, and no published maximum number of dogs.
Pet-friendly summary
Hapimag Burnside Park is a self-catering apartment complex on the edge of Windermere, run by the Hapimag holiday-property group. The apartments allow dogs (one pet-travelling reviewer specifically called the property family and dog friendly), and the format (self-contained apartments rather than hotel rooms) suits dog owners who want a kitchen and space of their own for a few days.
Guests travelling with dogs describe a clean, comfortable apartment with friendly staff and a good Windermere-area location, close to restaurants and the lake. The apartment-complex format means the property is larger and more managed than a single-host rental, with the trade-offs that comes with: a more professional check-in experience but a less personalised pet welcome.
One housekeeping note. A separate guest who didn't appear to be travelling with a dog flagged that the apartment smelt a little of dog on arrival, suggesting between-guest cleaning of soft furnishings is occasional rather than thorough. If you have an apartment-mate who is sensitive to dog scent, factor this in. Pet-travelling guests are unlikely to notice or care about residual dog scent in the same way.
Best suited to a couple or small family bringing one well-behaved dog for a Windermere-area Lake District break, where the appeal of a 4-star apartment-complex format with full self-catering and proximity to the lake outweighs the expensive per-night pet fee and the chain-managed (rather than host-managed) welcome. Compare the total pet-fee cost against direct Hapimag rates before committing on a longer stay.
