Our pet-friendly lodges in Scotland

We have five dedicated self-catering lodges and chalets available for pet-friendly holidays, plus two shepherd’s huts. So owners can enjoy their holidays with their beloved dogs. And with half of our luxury self-catering accommodation welcoming pets, we offer the perfect dog-friendly holidays in Scotland! What’s more, we are set amongst 18 acres of private land, enjoying a foreshore on Loch Lomond and open parkland for playing. And here, dogs may run free off the lead. All we ask is that you keep them in your sights and under control. As a dog-friendly holiday resort, we happily allow dogs inside the living areas of our pet-friendly accommodations, but please keep them off the furnishings and refrain from having them in the bedrooms.

• Chase rabbits (when available)
• Run free (in large parts of the site)
• Swim in the Loch (but dry me before returning to lodge please!)
• Walks – along the foreshore, in the Balmaha woods, on Conic Hill (on the lead only & along the West Highland Way
• Snooze on patio. (Tie ring provided).
• Meet owners’ dog , Irish Terrier ‘Flynn’ – very friendly and inquisitive.

Local pet-friendly activities

Our dog-friendly lodges are surrounded by countryside, and there are a number of pet-friendly activities to enjoy in the local area. See our dog-friendly holidays guide for a handy list.

Dog-friendly restaurants

And now you can enjoy dog-friendly dining areas on the banks of Loch Lomond. Just next door, The Oak Tree Inn welcomes you and your dogs to dine in their dog-friendly restaurant/cafe.

Owner responsibility

Whilst in the direct vicinity of the lodges we ask that dogs are on a lead and mess should be bagged and disposed of responsibly. Owners are asked never to leave pets unattended in a lodge and to prevent them from excessive barking or whining to respect other guests.
