1 / 23Lochranza Lodge Steading
Lochranza, Isle of Arran
An 1888 farmhouse for eight at Lochranza on Arran, thoughtfully converted with three bathrooms and a private enclosed garden, one dog welcome a mile from the distillery.
Lochranza Lodge Steading was a traditional farmhouse in 1888, and it has been thoughtfully converted into a contemporary home that keeps its traditional arrangement over two floors. Sleeping eight across four bedrooms and three bathrooms in the coastal village of Lochranza, it makes a five star dog friendly base, and one dog is welcome to share the private enclosed garden reached through the lounge's French doors.
The ground floor centres on an open plan lounge, kitchen and diner, very spacious, with wooden flooring throughout, a wood burner for cosy evenings and those French doors letting the dog choose between the fireside and the garden. A double with an en suite bathroom sits down here too; upstairs are the master en suite, a further double, the twin room and a bathroom. Bold, vibrant colours, chic furnishings and state of the art fittings run throughout: an island house finished with real care.
The garden has seating, and evenings out there come with the sounds of island life all around while the dog settles at your feet. Wander the coastal path with the dog before bed and there is a chance of otters, seals and even dolphins along the way. The Isle of Arran Distillery is 1 mile away, which settles the question of the nightcap.
The village has a restaurant and bar within walking distance, and the local nine hole golf course, only 300 metres from home, welcomes families and well behaved dogs. Brodick, Arran's popular town, adds the Arran Heritage Museum and a luxury spa, and the far reaching views over the glen and Lochranza Bay are there to come home to with a dog that has walked its fill.

Is Lochranza Lodge Steading dog friendly?
Yes, Lochranza Lodge Steading is a five star dog friendly property with one dog welcome. The house has an enclosed garden accessible directly through the lounge's French doors, so your dog can move freely between the wood burner and the outdoors.
Are dogs allowed at Lochranza Lodge Steading year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your travel dates. What we can say is that Arran is a genuinely great dog destination whatever the season, with coastal paths, open ridges and a local golf course that welcomes well behaved dogs.
What should I know before visiting Lochranza Lodge Steading with my dog?
The property welcomes one dog, so it's not suitable for multi-dog households without checking with the owner first. The good news is that the setup is well thought through for dogs: wooden floors throughout, an enclosed garden, and a coastal path right on the doorstep where otters and seals are regular evening company.
