The Coylet Inn

Dunoon, Argyll and Bute

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

An inn on Loch Eck near Dunoon, where dogs are offered a zero alcohol bowl of water and a wee biscuit in the bar.

The Coylet stands on Loch Eck, set between the mountains that make the loch, a nearly 400 year old building with themed rooms and a bar of Scottish only draft beers. The people running it call themselves avid dog lovers, and at this dog friendly inn a dog walking in is offered a zero alcohol bowl of water and a wee biscuit.

The inn asks you to let it know when you book that a dog is coming. The rooms are each themed, some looking over the loch and others to the hillside, and the rooms in the main building are reached by a traditional old style spiral staircase the inn counts as part of its charm; the two annex rooms next door have private access and two steps. Which of the rooms take dogs the inn does not say, so raise it at the time.

The bar and the conservatory section are where dogs are welcome, and where you can sit down to a meal with one; there are dog free seating areas for guests who would rather. Assistance dogs are welcome in all public areas. The kitchen serves homely pub classics alongside locally sourced produce, wild venison and fresh Scottish seafood, and the bar holds malt whiskies, gins and spirits besides the beer.

Above the inn sits Snuggle Doon, a glamping pod for two with its own decking terrace. A wildlife camera runs on the Coylet land around the clock and streams to YouTube, and red squirrels and birds come to the feeders at the back. With the dog, Wildpack's Ardentinny Forest and Finart Bay Walk is 3.5 miles away.
