The Haymarket Hotel

Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

Six Victorian townhouses on a cobbled street in Edinburgh's Haymarket, with dedicated dog friendly rooms, bay windows and a welcome pack waiting for your dog.

A Dog Friendly Guide to Edinburgh waits in your room at The Haymarket Hotel, full of the team's favourite local recommendations for exploring the city with your dog. The hotel itself is 70 ensuite bedrooms in six Victorian townhouses, built in the middle of the nineteenth century, down a traditional cobbled street in the historic Haymarket area, and the townhouses keep the high moulded ceilings and stained glass windows of the period. So this dog friendly hotel puts you and your dog right in the heart of the capital.

Dogs stay in dedicated rooms, and Haymarket asks for word of your dog in advance of arrival. Those rooms have bay windows onto a garden or a historic street, and each stay brings a welcome pack with a cosy blanket, food and water bowls, a treat, a little towel for muddy paws and poo bags. Haymarket can't have a dog left unattended in the bedrooms for any length of time; the number of dogs per room it doesn't state, so ask when you get in touch.

Logan's, in the first of the six townhouses, is the hotel's breakfast room and bar, and dogs are allowed there and in the other public areas, except during breakfast service. The hotel doesn't say where guests with a dog can take breakfast, so raise it when you book. Breakfast runs to porridge, fresh kippers and a full Scottish with haggis, MacSween's black pudding and tattie scones, and Logan's stays open all day for a cocktail or a late night dram.

Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and the Old Town are within a twenty minute walk. On Wildpack, Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags Circular sits 2.3 miles from Haymarket's cobbles, and Burntisland Beach, 7.8 miles off, is the beach Wildpack lists as closest for dogs.
