Dog friendly cottages in Scotland

1,258 of the 1,992 places to stay in Scotland take dogs, and 722 say they do not.

A further 12 say nothing either way, so those are worth a phone call before you rule them out.

How many dogs

How many dogs is the question most listings leave you to discover at the point of booking.

  • Up to one dog 442 properties
  • Up to two dogs 684 properties
  • Up to three dogs 70 properties
  • Up to four dogs 24 properties
  • Up to five dogs 1 property
  • Welcome, no number given 37 properties

205 of the 1,258 also list an enclosed outdoor space, which is the difference between a garden you can let a dog into and one you cannot.

Dogs on the hill

28 of the 47 walks and viewpoints in Scotland say whether dogs are allowed. For the rest, check with the landowner before you set out, particularly in lambing season.

Access rules for dogs are not the same in Scotland as in England and Wales, and some of them change with the season. The Countryside Code, published jointly by Natural England and Natural Resources Wales, covers England and Wales. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code, which NatureScot has a duty to keep under review, covers Scotland. Read the one for where you are walking before you go.
