Dog friendly cottages in Scotland

Scotland is made for dogs: empty beaches, hill tracks and forest paths, often straight from the door. Every cottage in this collection welcomes dogs, and many have a secure garden, a dog wash area or a pet welcome pack. Some take two or more dogs, so check each listing for the number allowed and any charge, and ask the owner if you are not sure. You book direct, so you can talk to the person who knows the house and the walks.

Dog friendly cottages by the sea

Many of our dog friendly cottages sit by the water, with beaches to walk on. Traigh Beach House is beside the white sands at Arisaig, Camus Ciuin is a beach house at Morar, and Kilnbarn Cottage on Sanday in Orkney has the sea at its door. See all of our cottages by the sea.

Luxury dog friendly cottages and lodges

Bringing a dog does not mean giving up comfort. Seabank Lodge on Loch Creran has an outdoor hot tub and sea views, Greengairs Highland Bothies each have a private wood-fired hot tub, and Smiddy Cottage near Stonehaven has a large hot tub with woodland beside it. More are in our hot tubs collection.

Dog friendly lodges and cabins

Lodges and cabins that welcome dogs include Kestrel Lodge in Dumfries and Galloway, Onnela Lodge at Kishorn, and the Glen Dye Cabins near Banchory. See the Lodges collection.

Where to stay with a dog

The Highlands and the west coast and islands have the most dog friendly cottages, with beaches and hill walks close by. The Scottish Borders and the Isle of Skye have fewer, and are quieter.
