Tinto Hotel

Symington, South Lanarkshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A 40 room hotel below Tinto Hill near Biggar, with a dog friendly bar and lounge and gardens to stroll with your dog on its lead.

A glass of Tinto Tap, the hotel's own Pilsner lager, comes with your dog at your feet at Tinto Hotel, where the lounge and bar are dog friendly too. The hotel sits in its own grounds at the foot of Tinto hill in the Lanarkshire countryside near Biggar, 45 minutes from both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and it is proud to be a dog friendly hotel that treats four-legged friends as part of the family.

Several of the Standard rooms can be booked with your four-legged friend. Bright and spacious, they come as double or twin, with an en-suite shower, a TV and kit for tea and coffee. Out in the gardens you are welcome to walk your dog, and the hotel asks you to be a responsible owner, keep your dog on its lead and clean up after it. Tinto Hotel doesn't state a dog limit for these rooms, nor whether a dog may stay in one without you, so ask both at booking.

Food is the area to check before you arrive: the lounge and bar are the dog friendly spaces to sit in together, so ask the hotel about lunch or dinner. The menus are built on locally available produce, with lunch, Sunday roasts and evening dining, and an afternoon tea of homemade sausage rolls, sandwiches, cakes and scones. Spirits, wines and beers come from the bar.

The Coulter suite has a separate lounge space and bedroom with highlights of Scottish heritage, and tribute nights pair live music with good food. When your dog wants a proper hill, Tinto Hill from Fallburn, the Wildpack walk closest to the hotel, is 1.7 miles away.
