Pet-friendly summary
Paw rating: 3.5/5 (from 2 confirmed pet-traveller reviews). The Townhouses at Carus Green is a four-property townhouse cluster set on the edge of the Carus Green Golf Club in Kendal, on the doorstep of the south-eastern Lake District. Pet acceptance is tightly restricted: per Agoda's hotel-side note, only one of the four townhouses (the four-bedroom Townhouse 1) takes pets — and only one small dog per booking. The other three townhouses do not accept pets.
Both pet-travellers on file gave the property strong overall scores (9/10) but flagged specific pet-side issues. One encountered a £25 pet fee charged after a non-refundable payment had already been taken: Booking.com's listing at the time said one pet was allowed at no extra cost, but the property charged a surcharge on arrival. Worth raising directly with the property before paying, and getting any pet fee disclosed in writing.
The second pet-traveller praised the cottage itself — clean, modern, well-equipped — but flagged a serious pet-safety concern with the rear terrace: it isn't enclosed, opening on one side onto a neighbour's driveway and the main access road, and on the other side onto a field grazed by sheep. With a dog, that means no off-lead time in the garden and care needed when opening doors. Anyone with a recall-uncertain dog or a sheep-chaser should rule this property out for that reason alone.
The site itself sits within Carus Green Golf Club, with the south Lakeland fells (Kentmere, Cartmel Fell) within a 20-30 minute drive and River Mint walks from the doorstep. Best suited to: a small family travelling with one calm, well-managed small dog happy on a lead at the property; not suitable for high-energy dogs needing garden access or off-lead time.
