1 / 8Gleneagles
Auchterarder, Perth and Kinross
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A five star Perthshire resort at Auchterarder, where dogs up to the size of a Labrador stay and there is room for one in the cafe atrium.
Gleneagles stands in 850 acres of lochs, glens and golf courses at Auchterarder, a five star resort of 205 individually designed rooms and 28 suites. The clubhouse at the foot of the Ochil Hills welcomes golfers to three championship courses. The resort is a dog friendly hotel with a size limit stated up front: in the hotel, dogs up to the size of a Labrador can be accommodated.
The welcome runs to a dog bed, a foam duvet, plastic floor mats, two bowls and a poop scoop set, all provided for your dog. The rooms are individually designed, each meticulously crafted for comfort. Which of them take dogs the hotel does not say, and nor does it mention dogs left alone in a room, so settle both at the booking.
The Garden Cafe sits at the heart of the hotel, the meeting point for morning coffee or a long lunch, with an in-house pastry display. It is dog friendly too, with plenty of space in the atrium. Dogs aren't allowed in the restaurant and bar areas, where the rest of the eating happens: handmade pasta and open flame steaks at The Birnam, and Michelin starred French-inspired cooking at Andrew Fairlie.
The spa runs to 20 treatment rooms, a steam room, a hot sauna cabin, a dark vitality pool and a light-filled relaxation courtyard, with two indoor pools, an outdoor thermal pool and a gym alongside. Fishing, clays at the range, the equestrian centre, tennis and padel are all arranged on the estate. Where a dog may go across those 850 acres the hotel does not say, so that is a question for the team.
