Argyll Hotel

Bellochantuy, Argyll and Bute

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A seven room seaside hotel on the Kintyre coast near Campbeltown, with its own beach outside the door and no charge for dogs.

The Argyll Hotel sits by the seaside near Campbeltown on Kintyre, white sand in front of it and the Atlantic beyond, with Islay, Jura and Gigha out on the horizon. Dogs stay free of charge at this dog friendly hotel. The beach outside is where a morning goes: Bellochantuy Bay, and a good two mile walk along it to Killegruer.

There are seven bedrooms, every one upgraded with a new bathroom and bed, the two Double Aspect Seaview Select rooms with sea views and a Juliette balcony, one on the ground floor with a wet room. The hotel does not say which rooms are kept for dogs, nor how many dogs can come, so settle both as you book; it does ask that you say a dog is on the way.

Every table is in the sea-view conservatory restaurant, the beach a few metres off and the water running out to Islay, and the dog is welcome alongside you for dinner and for drinks, residents and visitors alike. Let them know if the dog is coming into the restaurant. Book either way, since a table isn't guaranteed, and note that the menu changes through the year.

The Struan Lounge bar pours Argyll beers from Fyne Ales at Cairndow, Scottish craft gins including Kintyre's own Beinn an Tuirc, and Campbeltown malts from Glen Scotia, Springbank and Glengyle. Walks go from the door along the beach; the hotel says Kintyre also offers inland walks over forest, moorland and hills, and the waymarked Kintyre Way. The hotel is writing up a guide to the local walks it and its dogs know best. Muasdale Beach, 5 miles off, is the nearest beach on our dog friendly map.
