Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Keepers Cottage - Hoddom dog friendly?
Keepers Cottage is genuinely dog friendly — the owners describe dogs as free to roam within the property grounds, which goes further than many places that simply allow dogs into a designated garden. Two dogs are welcome on a booking, and the single-level layout with a wood burner makes it a particularly comfortable setup for dogs after a muddy day out.
Are dogs allowed at Keepers Cottage - Hoddom year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the description suggests limits on when you can bring them. If year-round availability matters to your plans, it's worth confirming directly with the owner when you book.
What should I know before visiting Keepers Cottage - Hoddom with my dog?
The cottage takes up to two dogs and sits on the old Hoddom estate outside Lockerbie, with parkland running down to the River Annan and the old castle grounds nearby — so there's good walking close to the door. The enclosed garden and single-level interior are a practical bonus, especially if you're travelling with an older dog. Rockcliffe on the Solway coast is around 17 miles away and stays open to dogs, with a coastal path round the headland, and the Annandale and Moffat hills are accessible inland for longer days out.
