1 / 20The Bothy - Dunning
Dunning, Perthshire
A one bedroom bothy conversion for two near Dunning in Perthshire, with a mezzanine bed, an enclosed garden through the green gate and two dogs welcome.
The Bothy keeps things at bothy scale: one double bed on a mezzanine, two reclining armchairs pointed at the television, a table set for two, and an enclosed garden reached across the courtyard through the green gate. Two dogs are welcome at this dog friendly retreat, which for somewhere this compact says where the priorities lie.
It stands on the edge of a group of farm buildings in the Perthshire hills, traditional outside and sharply modern within: induction hob and combination oven in the neat kitchen, a shower room below, the bedroom up its own stair. The garden through the gate has a pretty eating area and the hills for a backdrop, and it is the dogs' secure ground while the kettle does its work.
One honest note: the driveway is open, with animals in the fields around, so the dogs' leads go on between door and gate. It is the only rule in an otherwise simple week of hill lanes, woodland loops and the village of Dunning, 1.5 miles off, for lunch.
Perth sits 11 miles east, Dollar Glen and Castle Campbell hide in the Ochils for the best short walk in the range, and Gleneagles is close for anyone pairing golf with the dogs' hills. Quiet, green, and two counties from anywhere busy.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Bothy - Dunning dog friendly?
Yes, The Bothy welcomes up to two dogs. For somewhere this compact, that's a real statement of priorities — and the enclosed garden through the green gate gives them a secure space to potter while you settle in.
Are dogs allowed at The Bothy - Dunning year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the host directly to confirm availability for your dates. The surrounding Perthshire hills and woodland loops around Dunning make it an appealing base in any season.
What should I know before visiting The Bothy - Dunning with my dog?
The one thing to bear in mind is that the driveway is open, with animals grazing in the surrounding fields, so leads are required between the front door and the garden gate. Once through the green gate, the enclosed garden is your dogs' secure ground — and beyond that, hill lanes, woodland walks and the village of Dunning 1.5 miles away are all on the doorstep.
