The Bellachroy Inn

Dervaig, Argyll and Bute

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight, up to 1 dog per room.

A 1608 inn in Dervaig on Mull, overlooking the inlet of Loch Cuin, where the bar welcomes well behaved dogs, one to a room.

The Bellachroy was established in 1608 as a waypoint for drovers and sits in the north west of Mull, with views over the inlet of Loch Cuin and Dervaig village. It is a dog friendly inn, one dog to a room by prior arrangement, and sits between Tobermory and the golden sands of Calgary Beach.

Six ensuite rooms come with DAB radio and tea and coffee, and no televisions at all, which the inn reckons helps everyone enjoy the quiet. The layout is quirky, a consequence of age and many alterations, with sloping ceilings in some rooms and a view towards Kilmore church from others. Dogs are strictly one per room and well behaved, arranged in advance, and you are asked to keep yours supervised at all times.

The locals bar is the community hub, with occasional music and quiz nights, real ale from Ardgour Ales and malt whisky from the Tobermory Distillery, and dogs are welcome in it. The restaurant cooks home-made Scottish dishes with a daily specials board, seafood the kitchen aims to source from nearby waters in season and local cheeses.

The residents' lounge has sofas, easy chairs and a writing table, with books, guides and maps for planning a day on Mull. Aros Park and Tobermory Coastal Circuit sits 4.9 miles off and is on Wildpack's map, and Calgary Bay is 3.7 miles from the inn, our closest dog friendly beach, with the rules on its page.
