1 / 15Howe Cottage
Laurencekirk, Aberdeenshire
A single storey cottage for four in Laurencekirk, between Montrose and Stonehaven, with wooden floors, a small enclosed lawned garden and two dogs welcome.
French doors from the living room open onto a patio and a small enclosed lawn, and that is where two dogs will spend their first minutes at Howe Cottage. This is a semi-detached dog friendly cottage on a quiet street in Laurencekirk, sleeping four, all on the ground floor.
The owners have fitted it out with a real eye, and the wooden floors throughout mean a dog's muddy paws are a quick wipe. The open plan room holds the living area, a dining table and the kitchen, and there are two bedrooms: a king, and a second with zip and link singles that can become a double. A shower room finishes it, and doggy extras come in the welcome pack.
The garden is small, and it suits a dog that wants a sniff and a sit rather than a gallop, while its owners take coffee on the patio. The town is walkable, with shops and cafés close by, so the evening walk can take in the high street before the dog settles for the night.
Laurencekirk sits in the Howe of the Mearns, the wide farming vale between the hills and the sea. St Cyrus Beach, backed by a nature reserve and dunes, is 4.4 miles off, and Montrose and Lunan Bay are further south. Inland, the Cairn o' Mount road climbs to views over the whole country to the sea, and the Angus Glens are within reach for a long day's walk with a dog.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is Howe Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Howe Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has wooden floors throughout for easy clean-ups after muddy walks, a small enclosed lawned garden for a sniff and a stretch, and a doggy welcome pack waiting on arrival.
Are dogs allowed at Howe Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. As a dedicated dog-friendly cottage, it's set up to welcome dogs as a matter of course rather than an afterthought.
What should I know before visiting Howe Cottage with my dog?
The enclosed garden is small and suits a dog that's happy with a gentle sniff rather than a full run-around, so larger or more energetic dogs will need their exercise elsewhere. Happily, St Cyrus Beach and its nature reserve is just 4.4 miles away, the town is walkable for an evening stroll, and the Angus Glens are within reach for a longer day out. The cottage is all on one level, which makes it straightforward for dogs and owners alike.
