1 / 8Lamlash Bay Hotel
Lamlash, North Ayrshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A shore-front hotel in Lamlash on Arran, where dogs sit in with you at breakfast and dinner in the bar, with views to the Holy Isle.
A whisky by the fireside in the bar, a dog at your feet and the Holy Isle across the bay: that is the pull of Lamlash Bay Hotel, a shore-front, family-run hotel in the village of Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. It sits 150 yards from the beach, and this dog friendly hotel takes dogs in all of its 11 rooms.
Dogs come by prior arrangement only, up to two well behaved dogs per room. The house rules are clear and kindly meant: dogs stay on a leash in the public areas, keep off the chairs and beds, and must never be left alone in the bedroom, not even in a crate. Bring your dog's own bed, and note that the kitchen can't store or chill dog food or raw meat. Arran has many great walks for dogs, and the team are happy to recommend them.
Guests with dogs take breakfast in the dog friendly bar, and evening meals are served there too, so book your slot in advance. The bar serves the same menu as the restaurant, from traditional Scottish favourites to hand-rolled, thin-crust pizzas from the stone based oven, and the kitchen buys from island producers such as Arran Dairies, The Arran Butcher and The Arran Cheese Shop. The bar stocks a wide range of malts and gins, and Arran Ales.
Room One is a sea view suite overlooking the Holy Isle, with a balcony, and the family suite sits at ground level with its own entrance. Out with the dog, keep an eye out for seals and deer, and Wildpack's Isle of Arran: Brodick to Lamlash Coastal Path is 3.0 miles from the hotel.
