1 / 24Strathspey Lodge
Grantown-on-Spey, Highlands
A three bedroom home for five in Grantown on Spey with a hot tub in the private enclosed garden and Anagach Woods at the end of the street, one dog welcome.
Anagach Woods begin 500 metres from Strathspey Lodge, and they are the kind of woods a dog would design: pine, soft paths, red squirrels, and trails that loop back to town in time for coffee. The lodge sleeps five in Grantown on Spey with one dog welcome, a private enclosed garden off the dining room and a hot tub waiting in it. Dog friendly Cairngorms, walkable version.
Downstairs runs open plan through kitchen and dining, with a wood burner in the living room and a utility off the kitchen for the aftermath of wet dogs and wetter boots. Three bedrooms sit above, king, twin and single, with a walk in shower one step up in the bathroom. The patio door habit is the one to acquire: dining room to garden, garden to hot tub, hot tub to BBQ.
Grantown weeks find a rhythm quickly: the woods with the dog before breakfast, a proper high street for the paper and the butcher, out to the hills or the river after, and the garden's summer house and hot tub holding the evening. The town is the Cairngorms' most complete base without any of the resort gloss.
The Speyside Way passes close by for the Boat of Garten to Aviemore stretch, Loch Vaa and the Ryvoan Pass hide among the pines for the best short walks in the park, and the mountain roads climb east and south. A dog can have Caledonian pine forest daily here.

Is Strathspey Lodge dog friendly?
Yes, Strathspey Lodge welcomes one dog. The house has a private enclosed garden off the dining room, a utility room for drying off after muddy walks, and Anagach Woods just 500 metres away — so dogs are very much part of the plan here.
Are dogs allowed at Strathspey Lodge 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 dates. What's clear is that the location lends itself to year-round visits — the woods and the Cairngorms are there whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Strathspey Lodge with my dog?
The property accepts one dog, so it's not the right fit if you're travelling with more. On the plus side, the practical details are well thought through: there's an enclosed garden for off-lead time and a utility room off the kitchen for sorting out wet dogs and muddy kit before they reach the rest of the house.
