1 / 8The Torfin
Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh
Yes. Dogs can stay in all rooms.
A four room boutique hotel, bar and brasserie on Saint John's Road in Edinburgh, where well behaved dogs can help themselves to a biscuit and water.
The Torfin is a hotel, bar and brasserie on Saint John's Road in Edinburgh, open for breakfast rolls, lunch and dinner, with four bespoke themed bedrooms for when one drink turns into a night away. That makes The Torfin a dog friendly hotel for an evening with your dog settled beside you in the bar, and a bed for the night afterwards.
All the rooms are dog friendly, so your dog can come along whichever you choose, double or king size. Each is unique, with a distinctive Scottish flair, and comes with a 40 inch HD TV, a kettle and a monsoon shower. Nothing on the Torfin's pages gives a number of dogs per room, and they don't say if a dog can stay behind while you go out, so check both before you arrive.
In the relaxed and friendly bar your well behaved dog is welcome to join you, while the pours run from draught beers and cocktails to fine wines and freshly brewed coffee, and there is a biscuit, water and even a towel for mucky paws waiting. The hotel doesn't state if dogs can sit with you at a brasserie table, so ask about that too. The menu goes from starters and sharers to burgers and fish and chips, made with fresh ingredients, Scottish meats and freshly caught fish, with a daily specials board for more choice.
A cocktail menu and an extensive wine list are there for the end of a long day out with your dog, and breakfast rolls are served from the bar each morning. Wildpack's Blackford Hill and the Braid Hills Circular is 3.6 miles away for a longer outing, and Aberdour Silver Sands, 7.6 miles off, is the nearest of the dog friendly beaches on our map.
