1 / 8Meldrum House
Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A country house estate at Oldmeldrum with 240 acres to walk, where dogs stay in selected Stables bedrooms and find a dog bed, bowl and treats waiting.
Meldrum House has stood near Oldmeldrum since 1236, a baronial mansion with 240 acres of grounds around it. Outside this dog friendly hotel the estate is the whole argument: woodland walks, open countryside and space to explore, which the hotel sums up as long walks, fresh air and muddy paws.
A selection of the Stables bedrooms, set in a restored Grade A listed stable block, are dog friendly. Arrival brings a cosy Stocky & Dee dog bed, a bowl of water and a special selection of treats. How many dogs can come the hotel doesn't say, so agree that when you reserve. Out on the estate, dogs are kept on a lead, stay on the designated pathways and keep clear of the golf course, with bins around the grounds for clearing up.
The Cave Bar welcomes well behaved dogs, an atmospheric cave where comforting classics come out through the day, and the private dining domes are dog friendly when they are booked for a private event. If your dog is happy to be left to unwind in your room, Seton's is where you dine, its menus drawn from the Aberdeenshire larder; the room service menu is the other way to go.
The Manor House rooms keep original architectural details and carefully preserved furnishings, in a house that dates back to 1236, and afternoon tea is served too. The centre of Oldmeldrum is 1.4 miles away and walkable. Haddo Country Park and the Deer Park Urn, Tarves is 5 miles off, one of the dog friendly walks on our map.
