Dog-friendly cottages in Scotland
Unforgettable escapes in the land of lochs and glens
Planning a holiday to Scotland with your dog? From wild Highlands to sandy island beaches, this stunning country is packed with places where paws are welcome and adventures come with a tail-wagging and jaw-dropping view.
Whether you're climbing mountains, exploring ancient castles, or curling up in a cosy cottage after a long walk, our dog-friendly cottages in Scotland make it easy to plan a break that both you and your pup will love.
Why choose a dog-friendly holiday in Scotland?
Scotland is made for outdoor lovers – and their dogs. It’s home to some of the UK’s most breathtaking scenery, including towering peaks, rolling glens and thousands of miles of walking trails. From the North Coast 500 to the shores of Loch Ness, every region offers new scents, sights and discoveries for your four-legged friend.
There’s a strong dog-loving culture here too, with pubs, cafés, ferries and even castles regularly rolling out the red carpet (or water bowl) for canine guests.
