Pet-Friendly

Our pet-friendly accommodation in Scotland

We have five dedicated pet-friendly self-catering lodges and chalets, plus two shepherd’s huts. So you can enjoy a holiday with your beloved dogs. What’s more, we are set amongst 18 acres of private land, enjoying a foreshore on Loch Lomond and open parkland for playing. Dogs may run free off the lead here, but we ask 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 accommodation, but please keep them off the furnishings and refrain from having them in the bedrooms.

Local pet-friendly activities

Dog-friendly restaurants

And now you can also 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.

Testimonials

  • A magical getaway

    'It is not at all a surprise that you are fully booked.  If there is one place in the world we would like to be this summer, that place is Loch Lomond Waterfront Lodges, and I’m sure the only people who don’t share this passion are those, who simply have never been there. What a magical getaway and a retreat you have created! Thank you for that.'
  • Stunning from top to bottom

    'We booked this to relax after a family tragedy and it was the perfect tonic. Stunning from top to bottom. The rooms were perfect with all the facilities needed. The hot tub on a winters evening took it to another level. The blackout curtains, allied to no light pollution outside, meant wakening up was the most natural I had experienced for years.'
  • The Lodges are amazing

    'I would like to say that we all had an amazing time staying your lodges at the weekend.  The Lodges are amazing.  Beautifully presented and everything you need within.  Stunning location.  Muy birthday/retirement celebrations were made all the more special at this wonderful location with my friends around me.'
  • Our own private beach

    'Just walking along the West Highland way path past some of the crowded beaches made us realise the value of having your own private waterfront onto the loch.  I can still picture walking down to the lochside on our first evening and watching an osprey dive for a fish!'
  • 40th celebration

    'My husband and I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday and we truly had a magnificent time. There was everything that you needed in your accommodation even washing liquid and conditioner for the washing machine. The hot tub and steam room were a real highlight as well as the living log fire.'
