1 / 8The Colintraive
Colintraive, Argyll and Bute
Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.
A four bedroom hotel in the village of Colintraive on Argyll's Secret Coast, where dogs in the bar get a drink and a treat.
The Colintraive is hidden away on Argyll's Secret Coast in the quiet village of Colintraive, inside a Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of the Loch Lomond National Park. Four en-suite bedrooms look out over the country or across the Kyles to the Island of Bute, and the pub has sea views and a wood burning stove. At this dog friendly hotel the bar keeps a drink and a treat ready for the dogs that visit.
Dogs are welcome, and what you bring is their own bedding and towels. The bedrooms have super comfy beds, luxury duvets and linen, smart TVs, mini fridges and freshly baked shortbread, with an open fireplace and a seating area in two of them. Room allocation and dog numbers the hotel does not state, so ask when you book.
Pets are very welcome in the bar, and the dogs that come in are always given a drink. The kitchen has an AA rosette and an AA breakfast award to its name, and works with fish and langoustines landed at Tarbert, Fyne Ales from Loch Fyne, beef from the Island of Bute and foraged produce, on a menu that changes daily or weekly. Eating with a dog the hotel does not mention, so settle that when you book.
Eagles, red squirrels, seals, deer and basking sharks are regular sights around the village. Moorings sit close to the hotel, there is a beer garden, and boat tours, a private charter or deer stalking can be arranged. For walking, the hotel points to the country and coastal routes of the Cowal Way, and Wildpack's nearest dog friendly beach, Westport Beach, is 12.2 miles off.
