The Inn at Ardgour

Onich, Highland

Yes. Dogs can stay overnight.

A family run inn at the top of the Corran Ferry slipway on Loch Linnhe, with loch views from the bedrooms and dogs free of charge.

The ferry across Loch Linnhe runs to and fro every half hour, and the Inn at Ardgour stands at the top of the slipway on the far side, a family run inn well placed for Ben Nevis, Glencoe and the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. A dog friendly inn, it makes no charge for a dog, and the bar area takes well behaved dogs.

Eleven ensuite bedrooms, four of them family rooms, look out at the mountains bordering Loch Linnhe. Mention the dog when you book so the inn can allocate a pet friendly bedroom; which ones those are, and how many dogs can share, the inn doesn't say. There is a breed list to know about: no Pit Bull Terrier, Doberman, Tosa Inu, German Shepherd, Rottweiler or English Mastiff, and no pet the inn thinks might frighten children.

The kitchen does good traditional pub grub, cooked to order from mostly local produce, with homemade beef stew as its example. Dogs are welcome in the bar, where there is fine beer and a long choice of malt whiskies, though whether a dog can be with you while you eat the inn doesn't say, so ask.

For centuries travellers have taken the West Highland welcome at this inn at the entrance to the Great Glen, and a dog is part of that welcome at no charge. Horse riding is among the facilities the inn lists, there are family rooms for children, and the inn stands on the shore of Loch Linnhe itself.
