1 / 8Inverkip Hotel
Inverkip, Inverclyde
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A village hotel in Inverkip, where the Elbow Room pub welcomes everyone as a local, especially with a dog, and rooms are readied for dogs on request.
Farmers, locals, sailors and visitors all find their way into the Elbow Room, the little pub attached to the Inverkip Hotel, where everyone is welcomed as a local, especially if you bring your dog along. Monday brings darts and Thursday is quiz night. The pub sits at the beating heart of village life in Inverkip, and as a dog friendly inn with its own beer garden and rooms to stay in, the Inverkip Hotel makes an easy base for Inverclyde, Ayrshire and Argyll with a dog in the car.
Rooms can be prepared to welcome your dog by prior request, so mention the dog when you book. Rooms come with tea and coffee, Laura Thomas toiletries and reading from some favourite Scottish publications, and The Old Drapery is a dual aspect family suite that sleeps four. Dog numbers, any charge for dogs, and solo time for a dog in the bedroom are all points the Inverkip Hotel doesn't state, so cover them on the phone.
Dogs are welcome in the Elbow Room, which serves casual pub food; for the rest of the building, the hotel doesn't say where a dog can sit with you over a meal, so raise it when you reserve. The kitchen is open seven days for morning coffee, lunch and dinner, with proudly Scottish, locally sourced menus, and the cocktail and whisky bar in the main building hosts live music at weekends.
The beer garden, up Milburn Lane behind the main hotel, is family and dog friendly, with twinkling lights, blankets and a fire as dusk falls, so check its opening dates before you go. On the doorstep are woodland walks, beaches, Ardgowan House Castle and its gardens, and the Kip Marina for exploring the coastline by boat.
