1 / 20The Bothy - Dunning
Dunning, Perthshire
A romantic converted bothy for two people and two dogs near Dunning in Perthshire, traditional outside and modern within, with a light filled mezzanine bedroom and an enclosed garden through the green gate.
The Bothy is a romantic Perthshire hideaway for two people and two dogs, set in a rural spot among hills and woodland, with walking and cycling from the door. Traditional on the outside and strikingly modern within, it is a dog friendly retreat on the edge of a collection of farm buildings, near the village of Dunning and the Lomond Hills.
The ground level is made for slow evenings: a pair of comfortable reclining armchairs facing the Smart TV, a romantic eating area set for two, and a kitchen with everything needed for lovely meals, with the dogs curled up close by. The shower room is on this level too, and upstairs the light filled mezzanine bedroom has a relaxing double bed, a tranquil retreat at the end of an active day.
Across the courtyard from the main door and through the green gate, the enclosed garden has a pretty eating area, the place for a morning coffee while the dogs take in the atmosphere of the hills. Care is needed with the dogs on the driveway, which is an open space with animals in the nearby fields.
Dunning is 1.5 miles away for lunch at one of the local pubs, and the wild walks out of the door suit a dog who loves rugged country. Perth, 11 miles off, has independent shops, eateries and historic sites, and the Lomond Hills make an adventurous day's walk with the dogs.

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.
