Dog-friendly Forss House Hotel, Highlands, Scotland

Overview

An imposing 19th-century country home, dog-friendly Forss House Hotel in Caithness is in wonderfully remote location. Set amid 20 acres of wonderful woodland below a waterfall, on a loop on the meandering River Forss. A destination of mind-blowing landscapes, soaring sea cliffs and deserted coastline - during the Spring months you can watch the colonies of puffins that flock to the clifftops. It is also the perfect stopping off point if you are following the North Coast 500 route. There are so many stunning walks for you and your dog on such a diverse terrain as well as fabulous walks around the Estate. The hotel itself offers charming traditional bedrooms and there's a fabulous destination restaurant with a 2 AA rosette restaurant with dogs welcome to dine with you in the bar area. A simply stunning dog-friendly hotel highly recommended.

Resident dog Ben is happy to recommend all of the best woodland walks in the surrounding area!
