1 / 8Kilfinan Hotel
Kilfinan, Argyll and Bute
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A 300 year old former coaching inn in the hamlet of Kilfinan, with a limited number of dog friendly rooms and beds and bowls on request.
The Kilfinan Hotel is a 300 year old former coaching inn in the hamlet of Kilfinan, a short stroll from the shores of Loch Fyne on Scotland's west coast. Ten en-suite rooms, a bar with log fires and a terrace surrounded by nature add up to a place for slowing down. A limited number of dog friendly rooms makes this a dog friendly inn to ring about rather than book blind.
The hotel's special dog friendly room takes well behaved dogs free of charge, and beds and bowls can be provided on request. The rooms themselves run from standard doubles to large ones with period features and king-sized beds, and a Junior Suite with its own lounge area, bespoke Harris Tweed furnishings and a bath and shower. Dog numbers, and whether one can be left behind in the room, the hotel does not say, so put both to them on the phone.
Evening meals are for residents only, served every day, the menus put together ahead of your stay by an ayurvedic chef. Produce comes from surrounding farms and waters, old classics alongside contemporary flavour combinations, served either in the restaurant or the more casual pub setting. Where a dog fits into that the hotel does not say, so settle it on the same call.
The bar and lounge keep beers, ciders, spirits, a collection of whiskies and a wine cellar of handpicked bottles, with wood fires going and the evening unfolding slowly. From the terrace the view reaches down to Kilfinan Bay and Loch Fyne, and Westport Beach, the dog friendly beach Wildpack maps nearest the inn, is 7.8 miles off.
