1 / 8Gairloch Hotel
Gairloch, Highland
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A three star hotel beside Gairloch Bay with 72 en suite rooms, coastal views towards Skye and a bar where your dog can sit through dinner.
Set beside Gairloch Bay, with coastal views towards the Isle of Skye, Gairloch Hotel runs to 72 en suite bedrooms on the north-west coast, surrounded by beaches, lochs and mountains. It earns its keep as a dog friendly hotel and a base for exploring Wester Ross.
Dogs are welcome at Gairloch Hotel, and the request is that you make contact before booking so a suitable room can be arranged. Which rooms, what number of dogs and whether one may be left alone there the hotel does not mention, so that single call covers a good deal of ground. Premium rooms have comfortable seating areas and spacious en suite bathrooms with separate baths and showers, and one of them has a four-poster bed.
Dogs are not permitted in the restaurant, but you are welcome to enjoy meals with your dog in the bar. The restaurant serves modern European dishes and local favourites, with dinner served in the evening. Occasional evening entertainment adds to the atmosphere, and breakfast is a buffet, which is the easy option before a long day out.
Beyond the hotel there is Gairloch Museum and Inverewe Garden, with Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve and Corrieshalloch Gorge also on the hotel's list, and the hotel suggests checking current walking-route information before you set off. Gairloch Beach, the dog friendly beach nearest on our map, is 0.3 miles away, and Loch Kernsary Round from Poolewe, another of our walks, is 4.3 miles on.
