1 / 8Kilcamb Lodge
Strontian, Highland
Yes. Dogs can stay in 7 dog friendly rooms.
A lochside lodge at Strontian with eighteen acres of meadow for dogs, seven rooms that take them and bowls and towels put out on arrival.
Kilcamb Lodge sits on the shore of Loch Sunart in the village of Strontian, eleven bedrooms in eighteen acres of private meadow, mountain and woodland. Because the grounds are private and lochside there are no roads to cross, and at low tide a wide expanse of private beach opens up for swimming and paddling. That is the making of this dog friendly hotel: the grounds are there for dogs and owners to enjoy.
Seven of the rooms take dogs, most of them large and beautifully appointed, and all of them close to the rear exit, which takes you straight from your room into the gardens for an easy walk. Dogs bring their own beds, and bed covers go down for the occasions when one simply cannot resist. Food mats and bowls, treats on arrival, towels and doggy bags are all put out, with notes on the area's favourite and safest beach walks. Dogs should not be left unattended in the bedrooms unless management has agreed it first.
Dining is now just for resident guests, a hearty Highland breakfast and a short, changing dinner menu built around local produce. Where in all of that you may sit with your dog the hotel does not say, which is one for the booking email, and note that special diets for a dog can be catered for by arrangement.
Boat trips are arranged from the lodge, and the grounds reach the shoreline of Loch Sunart for a gentle stroll with the dog. Wildpack's Ariundle Oakwood Circular, Strontian sits 1.9 miles away, with Tralee Bay, 8.2 miles down the coast, the nearest beach for dogs that Wildpack shows.
