1 / 8Brown Trout Golf & Country Inn
Aghadowey, Causeway Coast and Glens
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A family run golf inn at Aghadowey, where a selection of rooms takes dogs and, when the tiled area has a table free, your dog dines beside you.
Set around an enclosed courtyard with a covered walkway, adjacent to the hotel itself, the bedrooms at the Brown Trout Inn sit in a rural setting at Aghadowey. This three star inn is a family business that has survived the generations, and the family say they love four legged friends. This dog friendly inn keeps a selection of its eighteen rooms for guests arriving with one.
The allowance is two dogs to a room; when you book, the inn asks you to select its dog friendly option. The rules are set out plainly. Dogs are on a lead inside the main building and around the bedrooms, they should arrive clean and fresh smelling, and housekeeping is in daily, so dogs aren't left unattended in the room during the day unless they are in their own sleeping cage while you eat.
Eating with your dog starts at reception: ask there first, and if a table in the tiled area is free you can settle in together, no more than two dogs to a table. The kitchen works from dawn to dusk on locally sourced dishes, an all day breakfast, homemade wheaten bread and flavoursome soups among them. The inn doesn't say whether dogs are welcome in Gerry's Bar, so ask when you book.
The golf course has been here since 1973, heavily wooded parkland, and a walk the inn named Ronan's Way runs around its perimeter. There is live music every Saturday night, child minding by prior arrangement, and an accessible room for wheelchair users and guests with disabilities. On Wildpack's beach map the nearest sand for dogs is Portstewart Strand, 11.3 miles off.
