Offering every contemporary comfort and convenience, enjoy the relaxing ambience of the scenic setting. You can relax amid 15 acres of landscaped grounds, or in the lawned areas, which are surrounded by woodland. There are wonderful views of the hills and islands of the Firth of Clyde, and plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. There are two golf courses, trout farm fishing, sailing, nature trails and pony trekking, as well as cruises aboard the famous ’Waverley’ paddle steamer. In Largs, 2 miles, you will find the Kelburn Country Centre and Vikingar - an exciting all-weather leisure centre, with a swimming pool, 500-seat theatre and children’s soft play area. There is also a choice of small shops, a supermarket, post office, pubs and a station. Although an attractive seaside resort now, Largs like much of this area has enjoyed an interesting history - in 1263 it was where the Norse fleet were defeated. From Largs take a ferry to Great Cumbrae Island and visit the aquarium, near Keppel Pier, and the ’Cathedral of the Isles’ on the sandy bay at Millport. The Cumbraes are not the only isles within easy reach. Go from Wemyss Bay across the waters to Bute, or drive south to Ardrossen and arrive in the exceptionally mild island of Arran. Arran is home to a wealth of places to visit, including the National Trust for Scotland owned Goatfell, 2,866 ft, with its magnificent views from the Clyde coast to the Hebrides and Northern Ireland. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy making the trip here, as Arran has 6 courses in which to shoot a round. Manor Park is well-placed for anyone looking to plan a diverse holiday itinerary. Whether you take to the sea or prefer to head inland, there is much to fill the days. Within an hour’s drive you can reach Loch Lomond, Burns country and Glasgow, with Edinburgh just a little further. Pub 2½ miles.

Think of golden sands and crisp blue waters where dogs can take a refreshing dip or walk along the headland.

Whether it’s Aberdeenshire on the eastern coast, Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, or on the southern coast at Dumfries and Galloway, there are a plethora of cosy hotels, cottages and B&Bs to choose from in this beautiful country - all with spectacular dog-friendly service! If it’s self-catering you’re after, there are plenty of cottage options available.

Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for Scotland

 

For beach lovers, Westport Beach in Argyll is a fabulous dog-friendly coastal walk if you’re staying in Argyll and Bute. The six-mile-long stretch of sand is situated just in front of the beautiful Machrihanish Dunes. This beach is extremely popular with dog walkers, and we can see why!

 

Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is another lovely choice for a day out where you can bring your dog along. The 17th-century castle is situated in the Queensberry Estate complete with acres of country park and Victorian gardens for your pup to play in.

 

And of course, the Cairngorms National Park in the heart of Scotland is a must-visit. The largest National Park in the UK, this beautiful park is home to peaceful lochs, castles and an abundance of walking trails for beginner to advanced walkers. Wherever you visit in the Cairngorms, your dog is sure to be grateful for it!
