1 / 8Glenfinnan House Hotel
Glenfinnan, Highland
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A stone mansion of 1755 on the shore of Loch Shiel, where dogs stay in any bedroom and come with you into the bar and lounges.
A rolling lawn meets the shore of Loch Shiel, and Glenfinnan House Hotel stands on it, a stone mansion dating from 1755, across the bay from the monument to Prince Charles Edward Stuart, with Ben Nevis beyond. Dogs are welcome in any of the bedrooms at this dog friendly hotel, and in the bar and lounge areas, where traditional music is often heard; a log fire blazes in the hall.
A travel crate is the condition if you leave the dog alone in the room. Dogs stay off the hotel furniture, on a lead near the building, and under a close eye on the estate, where there is local wildlife about and guests in cars. After a muddy walk the dog gets cleaned up before coming back to the room, and doggy towels can be provided on request.
The bar is the room dogs head for, traditional Scottish fare at its centre, Scotch pies, stews and freshly caught seafood, and a fireplace for a quiet evening. How many dogs a bedroom will take the hotel doesn't say, so settle that when you book. Afternoon tea is served through the lounges, beside roaring fires and fine artwork, with sandwiches, scones and handcrafted sweet things.
Pine-panelled walls in the hall carry a collection of paintings, among them a portrayal of the 1745 Jacobite Rising at Glenfinnan. A ten minute walk through the Glenfinnan Estate, red deer dotted across it, reaches the viaduct railway bridge that appeared in the Harry Potter films; the Glenfinnan Viaduct and Monument Walk, 0.5 miles away, is the closest walk on our map for a dog, and Traigh Beach, 15 miles off, is the dog friendly sand we map closest to it.
