1 / 8JA Mar Hall
Bishopton, Renfrewshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A five star Grade A-listed mansion on the banks of the River Clyde near Bishopton, where dogs stay in Spa Garden Suites with a private garden.
Across 240 acres of Scottish countryside on the banks of the River Clyde, JA Mar Hall is a Grade A-listed mansion with more than 180 years of history, brought to life by the architect Sir Robert Smirke. Today the five star estate pairs a spa and a championship golf course with estate gardens that well behaved dogs can explore, making it a dog friendly hotel with plenty of room outside.
Dogs stay in the Spa Garden Suites only, and as these are limited and specifically prepared for guests with dogs, book well ahead. The suites come with a private garden and direct access to the grounds, and the Housekeeping or Concierge team places a plush dog bed and a water bowl, refreshed daily, in your room. On the grounds, keep your dog leashed and clean up after it, and on arrival reception will help you complete a Dog Disclaimer form. Mar Hall's pages don't mention a dog limit per suite or leaving a dog alone in it, so ask about both when booking.
You eat with your dog outdoors: the outdoor dining spaces and garden terraces welcome dogs warmly. Al Fresco Dining is a garden setting of firelit seating, garden swings and the bee garden, though Mar Hall doesn't mention dogs there, so ask when you book. Inside, dogs aren't permitted in public spaces where food is served, including The Gallery, The Dining Room, Slàinte, il Posto and the Spa. Room service for residents runs 24 hours.
Mar Hall Spa works with ishga's seaweed-infused therapies, and its thermal suite has a heated pool, sauna and steam room. Your dog's walking starts at the suite, with direct access to the garden for easy walks and fresh air, and the concierge team knows the surrounding area well.
