1 / 13Hatton Lodge
East Haven, Angus
A single storey lodge for two near Carnoustie with a fully enclosed front garden and the beach a short walk away, one medium dog or two small dogs welcome.
One medium dog or two small ones. Hatton Lodge is precise about its allowance, and the same care runs through the rest of this five star single storey lodge at East Haven on the Angus coast, a dog friendly bolthole for two with a fully enclosed front garden and the sand close enough to reach on the first walk of the day.
Everything sits on one floor behind that garden. The open plan living space runs lounge, kitchen and dining through one light room with a wood burner at the centre of it, and the bedroom has a window seat looking over the garden to the countryside beyond, which a dog will have claimed as an observation post by the second morning. The garden itself is properly enclosed with seating in it, and more birds visit than any terrier will ever come to terms with.
Days here follow the tide rather than a plan. Down to the beach with the dog while the hamlet is still quiet, back for a slow breakfast, out again when the light changes. East Haven is one of Scotland's oldest fishing communities and has stayed a working hamlet rather than a resort, so the evenings belong to the burner and a dog dreaming through another lap of the shore.
Carnoustie is 2 miles along the coast, known for its golf but carrying a long beach a dog can work the length of, and Arbroath's sandstone cliffs rise beyond it. Inland the Angus Glens wait for the bigger days out.

Are dogs allowed at Hatton Lodge year round?
