Pet-Friendly

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.

    'Just wanted to say a very big thank you for my wonderful stay, I have no words to describe the incredible comfort I had at the Cawdor Diamond Lodge, I just checked out today this morning from lodge 5, I do not agree that your lodge is a five star if I could I would call it a 100 star lodge.
