Dog policies change. Confirm directly with the owner before booking, including how many dogs they take and whether the garden is secure.
Private, enclosed fields booked by the hour, in the counties this region covers. Worth having in mind for the first morning of a holiday, or anywhere the garden turns out smaller than the photographs suggested.
50 dog friendly places to stay in Scotland. They are spread across 16 counties, including Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute Council, Dumfries and Galloway. That includes 32 cottages, 4 lodges, 1 cabins.
Every listing here says it welcomes dogs, but the detail is what matters on the day: how many dogs, whether they can be left alone in the property, and whether the garden is actually enclosed. Those vary by property and by season, and they change. Ask before you book rather than on arrival.
If you are travelling with a dog who needs to run somewhere enclosed, it is worth checking what secure fields are near your stay before you go. A field booked for the first morning of a holiday takes the edge off a long drive.
How many dogs are allowed, whether there is an extra charge per dog, whether dogs can be left alone in the property, which rooms they are allowed in, and whether the garden is genuinely enclosed and how high the fencing is. A property described as having a secure garden may mean a low wall that a determined spaniel clears in one go.
No. These are directory listings compiled from public business information, not recommendations. Rompo has not visited any of them and does not hold their booking terms. Dog policies change with an owner, a season or a bad experience, so confirm directly before you book.
There is no standard, which is exactly the problem. It can mean six foot fencing on every boundary, or a hedge with a gap behind the shed. Ask for the fence height, ask whether the boundary is complete, and say what your dog is like: a terrier who digs and a lurcher who jumps need different answers.
Often, but the limit varies and many properties cap it at two. Some charge per dog per night. Where Rompo knows a limit it is shown on the listing, and where it is not shown we do not know it rather than it being unlimited.
Private secure fields are bookable by the hour across the UK and are useful on a holiday: somewhere enclosed to let a dog stretch out after a long drive, or to burn energy before an evening in an unfamiliar house. Each region page links the fields in its counties.
