1 / 8Cromlix
Kinbuck, Stirling
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A Victorian country estate near Dunblane in 34 acres of woodland, where dog friendly rooms come with a bed, bowls and a breakfast menu for the dog.
Cromlix spreads across 34 acres of woodland and landscaped garden at Kinbuck, three miles from Dunblane, a Victorian country estate with its own chapel and lochan. All that ground is what a dog friendly hotel needs: there are woodland walks around the estate, and a walking map and wellness cards to guide your strolls.
The dog friendly rooms are set up before you arrive, with a Cromlix dog bowl and bed waiting; the Very Important Pup Package adds a welcome hamper and a turndown treat. Your dog also gets a breakfast menu of its own, brought up by room service. Tell the hotel at the time of booking that your dog is coming and everything will be ready for their arrival. Dogs need to be supervised and well behaved at all times; how many can share a room the hotel does not state, so settle that when you book.
Dogs are welcome to relax with you in the Drawing Room and the Bar, a marble bar and leather booths with a single malt waiting to be discovered. The hotel doesn't say where the two of you can eat together, so raise it when you book. Your own meal might be fine dining at Cradle. Cromlix holds an AA 3 Rosette Award for Culinary Excellence.
A sauna and cold plunge sit deep in the woodland beside the lochan, and the Woodland Retreat is built around breathwork, meditation and healing touch, with signature 80-minute treatments. Tennis and pickleball are included, and the estate holds a MICHELIN Key. There are woodland walks around the estate for the dog; Doune Castle and the River Teith, 4.3 miles off, is on our map of dog friendly walks.
