Lake District cottages to rent
Planning a few days up in the Lake District sometime July or August. Realise this will be peak time, but looking for a nice (but reasonably priced) place for two plus dog. Would be good to find location that allows us to get to some of the main attractions, icing on the cake would be somewhere with a decent pub (preferably one which also serves food) within strolling distance. Any thoughts?

I have often used English Country Cottages
http://www.english-country-cottages.co.uk/
and have always had satisfaction from them. They tell you if pets are welcome.
There is also Cumbrian Cottages

I think that you will have to get your skates on if you want to book for July or August.

both of the agencies MissPrism mentions are good. I haven't used cumbrian cottages myself but have heard good things about them. I have used English Country Cottages a couple of times (not in the Lakes though) and had really good service.

You are having a laugh if you hope to find a good place still available at this stage!
Last year we got one through http://www.uk-cottage-rental.co.uk which was pet friendly, but they have less choice than others like www.cottages4u.ci.uk
A really good pub to stay at is The Drunken Duck Inn, which lies somewhere not too far from Ambleside by car.
Good luck!!

Yeah --Drunken Duck!! I first visited here 10 years ago as a student, and staggered back to a cottage at Low Wray. It used to be very different, dirty walking boots-kind-of-place. It went 'posh' a few years ago, but I still love it!
