1 / 8Crossbasket Castle
High Blantyre, South Lanarkshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A 15th century castle near Glasgow in High Blantyre, where dogs stay in the castle rooms or ground floor hotel rooms, with a bed and bowls on request.
Crossbasket Castle is a 15th century castle near Glasgow, set in manicured grounds in High Blantyre, with nine castle rooms, a contemporary estate hotel with art deco inspired bedrooms, and private lodges. Here the castle itself is a dog friendly hotel: all the castle rooms, the ground floor hotel rooms and the lodges are dog friendly.
Let Crossbasket know your dog is coming and it can set up a bed and bowls in your room. The nine castle rooms are individually named and designed, several after the castle's custodians of old, each with views of either the garden or the river, while the lodges add rolltop baths, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs on the veranda. Crossbasket doesn't state a per-room number of dogs, or say if one can stay on its own, so check that before you book.
The restaurants don't take dogs, but you can eat together on the outdoor terrace, where Foveran's spills out for all day dining, or in the reception area. Foveran's is a light-drenched, palm court-style restaurant built around fresh Scottish produce, Trocadero's is the evening venue for cocktails, live music and dancing, and afternoon tea brings patisserie and sandwiches in the castle or the art deco hotel.
Room bookings all include breakfast, with a Bloody Mary station, a buffet and an à la carte menu. Beyond the estate, Cathkin Braes Country Park Circuit is the closest walk on Wildpack's map, 3.3 miles from the castle, for a proper outing with your dog.
