The Buccleuch Arms Hotel

Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway

Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A Georgian coaching inn on Moffat High Street with 13 bedrooms, where well behaved dogs are welcome at dinner in the restaurant up the stairs.

Dating from 1760, The Buccleuch Arms is a Georgian coaching inn on Moffat High Street, in a spa town surrounded by rolling hills, valleys and lochs. It calls its welcome for dogs an enthusiastic commitment rather than a claim, and the staff of this dog friendly hotel are glad to suggest scenic trails for you and your four legged companion.

All 13 bedrooms take dogs, a maximum of two to a room. Leaving yours in the room unsupervised is a judgement the hotel trusts you to make, since you know if your dog might fret, bark or cause damage. In the common areas dogs go on a lead, out of care for dogs who don't enjoy another bouncing towards them. Poo bags are at reception on request, and after a muddy walk a good clean and rub down comes before the bedroom.

Well behaved dogs can come to dinner in the restaurant, now a single dining room up the stairs, as long as they stay close and tethered. The number of dogs at any one time may be staggered, so your preferred slot isn't guaranteed. The kitchen's food is comfort and sometimes quirky, with its very own stamp. For part of the year the hotel runs as a B&B only and the restaurant closes, so check it is open for your dates.

The hotel looks after walkers, cyclists and star gazers, with map and route planning help on hand. Hartfell Spa from the Annan Water Hall, Moffat, on Wildpack's list, is 3.2 miles away, a good outing with the dog. Farm animals and wildlife are the neighbours, so the hotel points walkers to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
