Book now with Booking.com

Three miles from Drumlanrig Castle, in the town of Thornhill, The Buccleuch & Queensberry Arms is a boutique country retreat known locally as The BQA. Its 12 rooms, The Suite and the estate cottages all welcome dogs, making The BQA a dog friendly hotel where any booking suits a dog, with peaceful countryside paths right on the doorstep.

Bowls and cushion beds for dogs come on request, and the dog menu currently runs to biscuits and water, with more treats under consideration. A lead isn't required at all times, though every dog, like its human, should be under control, with the owner taking full responsibility. A dog that misbehaves goes to the naughty step and then out of the public areas. Other pets aren't accepted. The dog page doesn't mention solo time in the room for dogs, so ask the team before planning a night out without yours.

Your dog is welcome in the relaxed hotel bar and dining area, for a hearty lunch, a candlelit dinner or a quiet drink by the fire, but no dogs are allowed in the front restaurant. Ingredients come from local farmers, butchers and producers, and the hotel belongs to the Scotch Beef Club. The well stocked bar features a hand picked wine list, a wide range of whiskies and rotating guest ales from local breweries.

Every room has its own character, and The Suite is a refurbished, self-contained cottage joined to the main hotel at ground level. The hotel's Thornhill Walks guide has routes to try with the dog, and Carronbridge Nithside Walk, on Wildpack's list, is 2.0 miles from the hotel.
