An Away-from-it-all dog-friendly holiday in Scotland

Book a dogs-welcome holiday accommodation in Scotland and discover some real gem locations with stunning scenery and friendly villages.

Scotland is the ideal place for a holiday with dogs, there is such a wide choice of places to visit where dogs can be walked over hills, through woodlands and along the coast. If you never ever walked around the shores of a loch, then book a dog-friendly holiday cottage near a loch and your dogs will have the greatest time ever running in and out of the water whilst you enjoy the scenery. Choose somewhere with a smaller loch that is within your walking distance, such as Loch Muich near Braemar and you will also be able to visit Balmoral, Ballater for woodland walks, and Glenshee.

Another good location for cottages and pine lodges where dogs can stay and enjoy the woodland walks nearby is Fochabers on the north east Scottish coast. There are wooden bridges and well laid out paths for easy access through the woods.

If you choose to book accommodation on the West Coast, then pebble strewn beaches and tranquil mountain scenery is your reward. There really are so many lovely places to stay in Scotland. Take a look at the list below and see if any of these pet-friendly self-catering properties could entice you to book a holiday.
