1 / 8Seafield Arms
Whitehills, Aberdeenshire
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A traditional inn on the Moray Firth coast at Whitehills, where dogs get treats from behind the bar and a doggy menu of their own.
The Seafield Arms is a traditional hostelry built in the late 1700s, in the village of Whitehills on the Moray Firth coastline. It calls itself a dog friendly inn rather than a dog tolerant one, and the proof is in the detail: a bag of treats behind the bar, a selection of bowls to drink from, and a Doggy Menu of its own.
Dogs are allowed in the guest rooms and in the apartment, by prior arrangement, so say so when you book the room. The number of dogs is something the inn doesn't state, so square that at the same time. In capitals, the inn asks that dogs remain on a lead at all times while on the premises.
Dining with a dog happens in the bar area, and if you let the inn know in advance it will keep your table there. The bar is warm and cosy as you come in, with ten draught beers, an extensive range of whisky and gin, and local characters who have spent a lifetime at sea, with many a tale of the waves to be heard. Dogs are welcome in the beer garden as well, where there is ample seating and a large timber gazebo.
There are three en-suite letting rooms on the first floor, configurable as doubles or twins, and a self-contained apartment, with breakfast included. The menu leans on locally sourced produce and fresh local seafood. Cullen Beach is 8.9 miles off, the dog friendly beach we put nearest.
