The Bruntsfield

Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A historic boutique townhouse in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, with a secret garden where dogs are welcome and the tree-lined Bruntsfield Links on the doorstep.

A coffee in the secret garden after a long dog walk on the Meadows is exactly what The Bruntsfield has in mind, and its garden is completely pet-friendly. The hotel is a boutique townhouse with a history going back to 1861, in the leafy district of Bruntsfield, right in the heart of the Scottish capital. With parkland at the door and the city within reach, The Bruntsfield suits anyone after a dog friendly hotel in town, and it holds Gold accreditation with Green Tourism too.

Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and Princes Street Gardens are all within walking distance. Rooms run from Standard to Superior, every one en-suite, with ground floor bedrooms for guests with mobility difficulties and a super comfortable Bruntsfield bed after a day out with your dog. Special requests go to the reservations team ahead of your stay, so ask them about bringing your dog. The hotel's pages don't say which rooms take dogs, how many, or if yours may stay behind alone while you sightsee, so put them all to reservations.

Your dog is welcome in The Neighbourhood's secret garden, lit by ambient lighting beneath its foliage archway, with heaters in each booth and a blanket at each table. The kitchen supports local Scottish producers, from a Scottish breakfast with locally-sourced haggis and black pudding to pastas, homemade pizzas and Scottish steak burgers, and the bar stocks malt whisky and craft gins. Room service is on offer too.

Bruntsfield itself is brimming with independent stores, cafés and artisan retailers. For the dog, the tree-lined paths of Bruntsfield Links and Meadows Park are right on your doorstep, and Blackford Hill and the Braid Hills Circular, a Wildpack walk, lies 0.9 miles from the hotel when you want to go further.
